Fabrication and characterisation of a double-clamped beam structure as a control gate for a high-speed non-volatile memory device
A suspended double-clamped beam for a NV-Memory is fabricated and characterised. The recipe developed to suspend the beam structure shows a high selectivity rate. Once biased, the beam pulls-in but due to the short-range forces pull-out was missing. Short-range forces such as the van der Waals are stronger when in contact (Al/SiO2 Al / SiO 2 ). A relationship to overcome such forces is obtained through 2D-FEM analysis.
