What is it about?

The next-generation nonvolatile memory architecture might use nanocrystals as their transistor floating gate to improve reliability. We study the process of temperature-induced phase separation in Ge-ZrO2 thin layers and find that it is possible to grow Germanium nanocrystals in a tetragonal ZrO2 matrix. The tetragonal ZrO2 phase offers enhanced permittivity as compared to the more common monoclinic phase.
