Abstract
A new vertical NAND flash string with tube channel structure and top source contact has been proposed. The DC and program/erase characteristics of the proposed transistor is investigated using a 3-D TCAD simulation tool. This work is expected to show better P/E, retention, and reliability characteristics than Toshiba´s structure.
