Abstract
This paper presents for the first time the manufacturing issues due to cell misalignment encountered in multilevel FLASH memories. Split gate memory cells in mirrored pairs show varied program efficiency upon less ideal alignment, where device with a shorter Lsg has a poorer efficiency. This misalignment adversely impacts the dynamic range of the storage levels.
