- Abstract
- Unique multibit NAND polycrystalline silicon-oxide-silicon nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) memory cells utilizing a separated control gate (SCG) were designed to increase memory density. The proposed NAND SONOS memory device based on a SCG structure was operated as two bits, resulting in an increase in the storage density of the NVM devices in comparison with conventional single-bit memories. The electrical properties of the SONOS memory cells with a SCG were investigated to clarify the charging effects in the SONOS memory cells. When the program voltage was supplied to each gate of the NAND SONOS flash memory cells, the electrons were trapped in the nitride region of the oxide-nitride-oxide layer under the gate to supply the program voltage. The electrons were accumulated without affecting the other gate during the programming operation, indicating the absence of cross-talk between two trap charge regions. It is expected that the inference effect will be suppressed by the lower program voltage than the program voltage of the conventional NAND flash memory. The simulation results indicate that the proposed unique NAND SONOS memory cells with a SCG can be used to increase memory density.
