For the first time, the 3 dimensionally stacked NAND Flash memory, is developed by implementing S 3 ( Single-crystal Si layer Stacking ) technology, which was used to develop S 3 SRAM previously. The NAND cell arrays are formed on the ILD as well as on the bulk to double the memory density without increasing the chip size. The feasibility of the technology was proven by the successful operation of 32 bit NAND Flash memory cell strings with 63nm dimension and TANOS structures. The novel NAND cell operational scheme, so called SBT ( Source-Body Tied) scheme, is presented to maximize the advantages of 3 dimensionally stacked NAND cell structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
