Summary: FD-SOI (fully depleted silicon-on-insulator) FinFET SONOS flash memory devices are investigated for the first time, and they are found to be scalable to a gate length of 40 nm. Although the FinFET SONOS device does not have a body contact, excellent program/erase characteristics are achieved, together with high endurance, long retention time and low reading disturbance. Devices fabricated on [100] and [110] silicon surfaces are compared.
