“…The gate-last process of TCAT cells results in a biconcave memory cell shape, which reduces the charge spreading issue. Indeed, in BiCS architectures, since the trapping layer is electrically connected in a continuous way along the channel side, there is a significant charge spreading path resulting in potential reliability issues [28]. …”

Nowadays, NAND Flash technology is everywhere, since it is the core of the code and data storage in mobile and embedded applications; moreover, its market share is exploding with Solid-State-Drives (SSDs), which are replacing Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in consumer and enterprise scenarios. To keep the evolutionary pace of the technology, NAND Flash must scale aggressively in terms of bit cost. When approaching ultra-scaled technologies, planar NAND is hitting a wall: both academia researchers and industry worked to cope with this issue for several decades. Then, the 3D integration approach turned out to be the definitive alternative by eventually reaching mass production. This review paper exposes several 3D NAND Flash memory technologies, along with their related integration challenges, by showing their different layouts, scaling trends and performance/reliability features.

“…2, this causes degradation of data retention characteristics. Thanks to the biconcave shape of the charge trap layer, in the TCAT case it is harder for electrical charges to move from one cell to another, as there is not straight connection of the charge trap layers between them [18]. …”
