Reliability Issues of Flash Memory Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reliability issues of Flash electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (Flash EEPROM) are reviewed in this paper. The reduction of the memory cell size and improvement in the reliability have been realized by several breakthroughs in the device technology; in particular, the reliability of the ETOX and NAND structure EEPROM will be discussed in detail. Flash EEPROM is expected to be a very promising device fo r a large nonvolatile memory market. One of the most promising applications is the replacement of the conventional magnetic hard disk by nonvolatile memories.

Reliability of NAND Flash Memories: Planar Cells and Emerging Issues in 3D Devices
We review the state-of-the-art in the understanding of planar NAND Flash memory reliability and discuss how the recent move to three-dimensional (3D) devices has affected this field. Particular emphasis is placed on mechanisms developing along the lifetime of the memory array, as opposed to time-zero or technological issues, and the viewpoint is focused on the understanding of the root causes. ...
متن کاملReliability of 3D NAND Flash Memories
Reliability represents one of the major antagonist towards the unstoppable technological evolution of hyperscaled NAND memories, since the correct operations must be assured throughout the entire lifetime. In particular, the ability of keeping unaltered the stored information even after a consistent number of write operations and for long times must be guaranteed. A growth of the memory devices...

متن کاملAlgorithms and Data Representations for Emerging Non-volatile Memories
The evolution of data storage technologies has been extraordinary. Hard disk drives that fit in current personal computers have the capacity that requires tons of transistors to achieve in 1970s. Today, we are at the beginning of the era of non-volatile memory (NVM). NVMs provide excellent performance such as random access, high I/O speed, low power consumption, and so on. The storage density o...
متن کاملErrors in Flash-Memory-Based Solid-State Drives: Analysis, Mitigation, and Recovery
NAND flash memory is ubiquitous in everyday life today because its capacity has continuously increased and cost has continuously decreased over decades. This positive growth is a result of two key trends: (1) effective process technology scaling; and (2) multi-level (e.g., MLC, TLC) cell data coding. Unfortunately, the reliability of raw data stored in flash memory has also continued to become ...
