SONOS EEPROM chips, containing several SONOSFET nonvolatile memories of various channel size, have been fabricated on the basis of the existing n-well CMOS processing technology for 1 Mbit DRAM ($1.2mu extrm{m}$.m design rule). All the SONOSFET memories have the triple insulated-gate consisting of 30.angs. tunneling oxide, 205.angs. nitride and 65.angs. blocking oxide. The miniaturization of the devices for the higher density EEPROM and their characteristics alterations accompanied with the scaling-down have been investigated. The stabler operating characteristics were attained by increasing the ratio of the channel width to length. Also, the transfer, switching, retention and degradation characteristics of the most favorable performance devices were presented and discussed.
