A polycrystalline-Si thin-film transistor configured with independent double-gated structure and ultrathin channel film is proposed for use as a Si-oxide-nitride-oxide-Si memory device. Taking advantage of additional control gate bias offered by the independent double-gated scheme in addition to the driving gate, this work demonstrated that the reading window and programming efficiency can be improved by applying a proper control gate bias. It is also found that the relationship between programming/erasing speed and control gate bias is strongly related to channel film thickness. Our results indicate that the independent double-gated device possesses promising potential for future nonvolatile memory applications.
