Experimental results show a very low turn-on voltage (<; +/-2V) for discharging, providing ideal protection for the memory devices. With this novel technique, our fully-integrated 3D NAND Flash device shows excellent initial Vt distribution free from the charging effect. Furthermore, the impact of SSL Vt distribution on the minimal Vdd bias is studied. With optimal SSL Vt distribution, it is demonstrated that 3D VG NAND Flash can support Vdd as low as 1.6V with successful programming window.","PeriodicalId":105807,"journal":{"name":"2014 Symposium on VLSI Technology (VLSI-Technology): Digest of Technical Papers","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129031165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
