  • Abstract
    Floating gate interference resulting from capacitive coupling through parasitic capacitors surrounding the floating gate degrades the cell characteristics such as current, speed and cell Vth distribution. For the first time, we have introduced the cell characteristics improved using low-k dielectric of gate spacer such as oxide and air gap in 1Gb NAND flash memory
