Single silicon vacancy-oxygen complex defect and variable retention time phenomenon in dynamic random access memories

2006 
The variable retention time phenomenon has recently been highlighted as an important issue in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) technology. Based on electrically detected magnetic resonance and simulation studies, we suggest that a single Si vacancy-oxygen complex defect is responsible for this phenomenon, when the defect is embedded in the near surface drain-gate boundary of a DRAM cell.
