In this paper, dynamic Vpass ISPP schemes and optimizing Vth of erase memory cells are presented for achieving high program inhibition with lower program disturbance in sub-40 nm MLC NAND flash and beyond. Simple two-step dynamic Vpass control technique is used and over 40% program failure reduction after 30 k P/E cycling is achieved in the proposed scheme, compared to conventional method. A major...
We have simulated the coupling ratios in fully planar NAND arrays. We have shown that floating gate interference is no fundamental limitation for channel lengths down to 15 nm. The main limitation for scaling NAND arrays is the loss of control gate coupling due to fringing fields, leading to a strong increase in the programming voltage of the memory cells, even when using a 5 nm EOT IPD.
The reliability of advanced embedded non-volatile memories has been discussed using the 2T-FNFN devices example. The write/erase endurance and the data retention are the most important reliability parameters. The intrinsic reliability mechanisms can be addressed through single cell evaluation, while the cell-to-cell variation determines the product level reliability. The cell-to-cell variation can...
Since the very beginning of the flash memory era, the market has been dominated by the floating gate technology. However, as floating gate flash continues along a very steep scaling path, more and more barriers start to appear, limiting further scaling possibilities of the technology. At the same time, other concepts are preparing to take over. This paper concentrates on the prospect of high-k materials...
