Paving the Way for Pass Disturb Free Vertical NAND Storage via A Dedicated and String-Compatible Pass Gate

In this work, we propose a dual-port cell design to address the pass disturb in vertical NAND storage, which can pass signals through a dedicated and string-compatible pass gate. We demonstrate that: i) the pass disturb-free feature originates from weakening of the depolarization field by the pass b...

Description
Summary:In this work, we propose a dual-port cell design to address the pass disturb in vertical NAND storage, which can pass signals through a dedicated and string-compatible pass gate. We demonstrate that: i) the pass disturb-free feature originates from weakening of the depolarization field by the pass bias at the high-\({V}_{TH}\) (HVT) state and the screening of the applied field by channel at the low-\({V}_{TH}\) (LVT) state; ii) combined simulations and experimental demonstrations of dual-port design verify the disturb-free operation in a NAND string, overcoming a key challenge in single-port designs; iii) the proposed design can be incorporated in a highly scaled vertical NAND FeFET string and the pass gate can be incorporated into the existing 3D NAND with the negligible overhead of the pass gate interconnection through a global bottom pass gate contact in the substrate.
