In this study, we investigated the read-after-write-delay (RAWD) phenomenon in FeFETs by considering the influence of trap dynamics on the device characteristics. First of all, it was confirmed that it is necessary to interpret the RAWD phenomenon through bulk trap. Through extensive simulations, we also established a quantitative relationship between RAWD and bulk trap properties, such as trap level and trap density. The results indicate that both trap density and trap level play a significant role in determining the variation in ${V} _{t}$ with delay time, which in turn affects the memory window (MW) of the device. Finally, we provide guidelines on the characteristics of HfO2-based ferroelectric materials that are required to meet the MW and intrinsic speed required for various FeFET applications.

In this article, we investigated the effects of cell variations, specifically the variations in gate length (${L}_{text {g}}$ ), spacer length (${L}_{text {s}}$ ), filler oxide thickness (${T}_{text {f}}$ ), channel thickness (${T}_{text {ch}}$ ), tunneling oxide thickness (${T}_{text {tox}}$ ), charge trap nitride thickness (${T}_{text {ctn}}$ ), and blocking oxide thickness (${T}_{text {box}}$ ), on the z-direction interference (Z-interference) in charge-trap-based 3-D NAND flash memory. Most previous studies have primarily focused on Z-interference degradation caused by the physical scaling of Z-dimensions, which has become a major obstacle in developing advanced multilevel cell technologies such as quad-level cell (QLC) and penta-level cell (PLC). However, with the physical scaling issue, the limitations of the fabrication process are causing cell variation. Nevertheless, research on Z-interference resulting from cell variation remains insufficient in existing studies. Therefore, we analyzed the impact of cell variation on threshold voltage (${V}_{text {th}}$ ) distribution through the Monte Carlo simulation, incorporating technology computer-aided design (TCAD) and experimental data. These results not only offer a comprehensive understanding of Z-interference but also provide valuable insights for formulating process design guidelines.

In this article, we propose a numerical method for calculating solutions of the PDE (the heat equation for the cathode temperature and the continuity equation for the current density inside and outside the cathode) with discontinuous flux at the emission surface of a cathode placed in a vacuum. The discontinuity of the flux appears because of the Nottingham effect and tunneling of emitting electrons. In the present article, this approach is applied to mathematical modeling of field emission from a conic silicon cathode of small size (about ten micrometers) to a vacuum, but can be used in other problems with similar types of flux jumps.
