Abstract
We demonstrate a 3D stackable AND-type Flash memory architecture for high-density and fast-read non-volatile memory solution. The device is based on a gate-all-around (GAA) macaroni thin-body device, with two vertical buried diffusion lines by N+ doped poly plug to connect all memory cells in a parallel way to achieve 3D AND-type array. High sensing current >6uA enables fast Tread ~100ns like NOR Flash, while the structure can enable hundreds of stacked layers eventually. Large transistor ON/OFF ratio of >5 orders, >5V Vt memory window, 100K Endurance, read-disturb free property, and small RTN are demonstrated in our 3D architecture using the BE-MANOS charge-trapping device. This architecture is promising to realize high-density 3D NOR Flash and future storage-class memory (SCM).
