  • Abstract
    The mechanism of transient Vth shift after erase is studied in detail. It is concluded that the main mechanism is hole redistribution in the charge trap layer. A new erase scheme is proposed and demonstrated to reduce transient Vth shift. The impact of transient Vth shift on the 3D charge trap device is investigated, as well.
