Abstract

A metal-oxide-semiconductor structure with NiSi2 nanocrystals embedded in the SiO2 layer has been fabricated. A pronounced capacitance-voltage hysteresis was observed with a memory window of 1 V under the 2 V programming voltage. The processing of the structure is compatible with the current manufacturing technology of semiconductor industry.
