New three dimensional S-SGT flash memory architecture can achieve the cell area of 3.88F 2 per bit using 0.2um design rule. The new architecture is realized by stacking two select transistors and two memory cells in vertically on each pillar located in a two-dimensional array matrix. Each gate and each interconnection of this new architecture are fabricated by vertical self-aligned process and horizontal self-aligned process simultaneously using conformal deposited HTO and RIE without using photo lithography process. The new three dimensional S-SGT flash memory architecture is applicable to high-density nonvolatile memories as large as Tera-bits and beyond.
5-q37, FACS IMILE: (Q7 436) 5-277 4 l.Introduction Recently high density flash memory has been expected to replace the external mass storage device market d computers. For this application, fast random access, low power consumption, and small erase unit size are required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
