Abstract:We introduced the self aligned floating poly (SAP) process using the SiN liner at active edge to improve the cell characteristics of high density NAND flash memory devices. Capacitance and electric field at corner of active edge are related to on cell current and cell V th distributions. In a 70 nm design rule NAND flash cell, we can improve the about 0.2 mA of worst on cell current and cell V th distributions of 0.5 V respectively. Furthermore, we acknowledged that off cell current of SiN liner is lower than … Show more
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.
