We study total dose effects in advanced multi- and single-level NAND Flash memories. We discuss retention and functional failures, analyzing the role of floating gate cells and peripheral circuitry, as compared to previous generations. We found that in these new devices, retention errors appear in all program levels. Guidelines on worst-case testing conditions are given.

Abstract
We study total dose effects in advanced multi- and single-level NAND Flash memories. We discuss retention and functional failures, analyzing the role of floating gate cells and peripheral circuitry, as compared to previous generations. We found that in these new devices, retention errors appear in all program levels. Guidelines on worst-case testing conditions are given.File in questo prodotto:
