Abstract
A novel 3D memory cell has been proposed for high density future generation flash EEPROMs. A self-aligned split-gate (SASG) structure, minimizing the split-gate length, has been implemented in a pillar-shape cell with high scalability over the tunnel oxide scaling limitation. This cell technology allows an ideal split-gate cell size of 6F/sup 2/. Good programming and erase characteristics have been obtained and over-erasing has been suppressed down to a 0.1 /spl mu/m split-gate length in experimental devices.
