Description: 
In this work, we present an experimental study on the single-electron effects observed at room temperature in silicon nanocrystal memories. The electrical characterization has been performed by means of a purposely designed low noise high bandwidth measurement system. Relevant statistical properties of the threshold voltage shifts induced by single-electron trapping and detrapping in the silicon dots are reported. The kinetics of electron capture and emission is also discussed
