Abstract
Rare-earth lanthanates and scandates have been studied for possible use as future Flash interpoly dielectrics. It was shown that a post-deposition anneal in O2 at high temperature (∼1000°C or above) gives rise to silicate formation. This results in excellent memory retention and larger robustness of the layers as compared to anneal in N2.
