Abstract :
Multi-bit vertical structure NAND (VsNAND) flash memories with 32-paired FinFET cell string have been successfully integrated for the first time. Its array integration issues regarding the sub-10 nm vertical structure fin could be solved by proper choices of isolation material, ion implantation, and word line patterning. VsNAND flash array cells with TANOS (TaN/Al2O3/SiN/SiOx/Si) charge trap structure show possibilities of acceptable program/erase properties and cell Vth distribution characteristics for multi-level NAND flash application.
