  • Abstract
    This paper examines why stacked gate ETOX/sup TM/ is the highest volume flash memory technology up to now. Looking into the future, technologies for flash memories will become more diversified. Multi-level storage technology will be prevalent and plays a dominant role in lowering bit cost. Flash memory card is emerging as a new market segment, and there is increasing demand to integrate high performance logic with flash.
