Abstract
Continuation of the scaling and increase of the storage density of the 3D NAND requires minimization and control of variability sources. Among the various reliability challenges, cross-temperature phenomena are considered as one of the reliability limiting factors of state-of-the-art 3D NAND devices. Starting from hypothesis that cross temperature effects are dominated by polycrystalline channel and retention loss at elevated temperature, we: (1) capture and quantify cell-to-cell variability sources within the Page; (2) provide first material and device driven insight (focusing on polyslicon) and its impact on cross-temperature along the Page and String and (3) link them with fail-bits of TLC-encoded 3D NAND.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
