Abstract
A double-layer TFT NAND-type flash memory is demonstrated, ushering into the era of three-dimensional (3D) flash memory. A TFT device using bandgap engineered SONOS (BE-SONOS) (Lue et al., 2005, Lai et al., 2006) with fully-depleted (FD) poly silicon (60 nm) channel and tri-gate P+-poly gate is integrated into a NAND array. Small devices (L/W=0.2/0.09 mum) with excellent performance and reliability properties are achieved. The bottom layer shows no sign of reliability degradation compared to the top layer, indicating the potential for further multi-layer stacking. The present work illustrates the feasibility of 3D flash memory
