TLDR
A modified 1-D Poisson equation was proposed that shows better accuracy than the existing model by reflecting the spatial distribution of electrons trapped by the program operation of 3D NAND Flash memories.
Abstract
We developed a new compact model for the program operation of 3D NAND Flash memories. A modified 1-D Poisson equation was proposed that shows better accuracy than the existing model by reflecting the spatial distribution of electrons trapped by the program operation. Under various conditions of program voltage (VPGM) and program time (tPGM), the threshold voltage shift (∆Vt ) was extracted by TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) simulation, and we used this data to validate our new model. It also provides validity of the model for program operation in 3D NAND flash memory along with various TCAD analysis data.
