Abstract

In this brief, we have investigated the program disturb characteristics caused by drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) in a 32-nm nand Flash memory device. It was found that the VTH shift of the (N + 2)th erased state cell is larger than that of the (N + 1)th erased state cell if it is assumed that the channel of the Nth cell is cut off. It is revealed that the cut off is caused by a cell-to-cell coupling effect that is becoming more severe in the development of high-density Flash memory arrays.
