The nitrogen-doped (N-doped) lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) is a useful metal with a low work function, low resistivity, and oxidation immunity. Previously, we have reported pentacene-based floating-gate Au/pentacene/N-doped LaB₆(Metal: M)/ LaB_xN_y (Insulator: I)/ N-doped LaB₆(M)/LaB_xN_y(I)/n⁺-Si(100) (Semiconductor: S) MIMIS memory without isolation of the device. In this study, we have investigated the Ar/N₂-plasma nitridation on the edge region of N-doped LaB₆ floating-gate (FG) after gate stack patterning. MW of 0.4 V was obtained under input pulse of ±3 V/100 µs for pentacene-based FG OFET memory.
