3 Outline Introduction 2D Charge-Trapping (CT) NAND 3D CT NAND Summary 3
4 Categories of Semiconductor Memory Volatile Semiconductor memory Non-volatile DRAM RAM Dominate NVM for the last 30 year SRAM (Charge storage MOSFET) Floating Gate (FG) NOR, NAND CT NOR in mass production Charge-trapping (CT) NOR, NAND, and CT 3D Emerging NVM ROM & Fuse FeRAM MRAM RRAM Phase Polymer Change High interest recently PCM in mass production CT NAND are discussed here. 4
5 Flash Memory Applications Flash Memory NAND (Data) NOR (Code) 5
6 NOR and NAND Flash Memory Control gate ONO Floating gate Oxide ~10F 2 ~4F 2 Source Drain Single cell structure Due to the excellent scalability and performances, NAND Flash has enjoyed the highest density NOR Flash scaling is much slower than NAND so far 6
7 NAND Flash Scaling Roadmap CT and 3D ITRS 2009 NAND Flash has been scaled to 25nm (TLC, 3b/c) so far, even faster than ITRS prediction. 3D charge-trapping (CT) device is a possible solution to continue NAND Flash scaling below 1Xnm node. 7
8 NAND Demand Forecast Source: forward insight NAND Flash enjoys a ~70% CAGR recently Major driving force: Mobile application, Tablets, and SSD 8
9 MLC/TLC/QLC Source: forward insight It is forecasted that the 16LC (4b/c) will only appear in a short period. TLC (3b/c) and MLC (2b/c) are the major products, while SLC keeps a small portion. 9
10 Endurance and Retention Forecast Source: forward insight Endurance and retention continue to degrade. More than 40-bit ECC/page is necessary at 2X node. 10
11 Will NAND Flash Scale to 1X nm? IPD ONO thickness scales below 11nm High-K IPD? Tox scales below 7nm? Thinner FG height and STI depth? 11
12 NAND Flash is going to run out of electrons! Few electron number is the fundamental brick wall, especially for multi level cell FG interference is huge (>40%) at 20nm node. 12
13 Source: J. Choi, IMW Short Course 13
14 Challenge of Cell Uniformity 要 讓 每 一 個 班 兵 在 同 一 時 間 內, 展 現 一 致 的 動 作, 需 要 長 時 間 的 訓 練 與 默 契 的 培 養 班 長 一 個 人 踢 正 步, 很 簡 單 Scaling generally makes uniformity very worse Controlling cell uniformity is critical in overall performances 14
15 Challenge of Tail Bit P. Cappelletti, et al., IEDMTech. Dig., p.291, FG always has tail bits (retention and P/E) More severe as Tox scales.. NOR don t t have tolerance NAND has more tolerance ECC and many system-level design 15
16 Summary of FG Scaling Challenges 1. Geometry difficulty gap filling and gate leaning 2. Reliability Retention/endurance, noise. 3. Interference 4. High voltage and WL-WL breakdown.. *5. Lithography limitations for 1Xnm However, scaling efforts never stop 16
17 Outline Introduction 2D Charge-Trapping (CT) NAND 3D CT NAND RRAM Summary 17
18 Brief Comparison of 2D FG and CT CT is simpler in topology More immunity to tunnel oxide defect and SILC 18
19 Problem of Conventional SONOS (a) Erase Speed H. T. Lue (Macronix), et al, ICSICT, (b) Retention P + -poly gate hours V FB (V) Erase field ~11MV/cm for all samples BE-SONOS: -18V SONOS (O1=2 nm): -15V SONOS (O1=2.5 nm): -16V V FB (V) C Baking BE-SONOS SONOS (O1=2 nm) SONOS (O1=2.5 nm) Erase Time (Sec) Baking Time (Hour) When O1> 25A, the erase becomes too slow (gate injection current is larger!) When O1< 25A, data retention is too poor! Erase and retention dilemma is the general issue 19
20 Charge-Trapping Devices Need BE Tox or High-K Top Dielectric SONOS MANOS BE-SONOS C. H. Lee, IEDM H. T. Lue, IEDM gate gate gate Top oxide Gate injection High-K Gate injection Top oxide Gate injection SiN trap layer Bottom oxide S e - de-trapping D SiN trap layer Bottom oxide S e - de-trapping D SiN trap layer BE Tox S hole injection D E O2 =E O1, and gate injection is larger than electron de-trapping no memory window for erase By higher-k top oxide, E O2 is smaller, leading to smaller gate injection during erase. E O2 =E O1, but BE Tox has larger hole injection than gate injection Unlike FG, CT device is designed in a planar structure without GCR design. Bottom tunnel oxide (E O1 ) has the same E field with top oxide (E O2 ), leading to small memory window during the erase. High-K top dielectric can reduce the gate injection BE Tox can improve the hole injection for faster erase 20
21 Glance over various CT Devices H. T. Lue et al (Macronix), IEEE TDMR Theoretically the highest performance Best reported reliability No new materials, fast learning time High-K CT devices (such TANOS) requires more learning time in reliability 21
22 BE-SONOS NAND Flash H. T. Lue et al (Macronix), IMW, A 75nm BE-SONOS NAND Flash test chip has been demonstrated. Near planar STI. Conventional materials (oxide, nitride, poly) A highly reliable 38nm node BE-SONOS NAND will be published at IEDM
23 BE-SONOS NAND Performances 75nm FG NAND Program (+20V, 200usec) 75nm BE-SONOS NAND Program (+20V, 200usec) Dumb program without verify H. T. Lue, (Macronix), IMW short course 10 5 MLC, P/E=10 MLC after 1K cycled 10 4 disturbed EV 75nm BE-SONOS NAND PV1 PV2 PV3 Bit Counts (#) Bit Counts V T (V) 10 0 V T (V) Our BE-SONOS NAND programming distribution can be tighter than FG due to simpler topology that minimizes the variation. Good programming and read performances. MLC operation of BE-SONOS NAND test chip is successful. 23
24 Retention of BE-SONOS NAND Bit Counts 75nm BE-SONOS (non-cut ONO), P/E= as cycled Disturbed 10min 10 4 EV 120min 1200min min 10080min C Baking V T (V) PV state Bit Counts 75nm BE-SONOS (Non-cut-ONO), P/E=1K 10 5 Before bake Disturbed EV 10min min 1100min min 7230min 10080min C. C. Hsieh, (Macronix), IEDM C Baking V T (V) PV Retention is excellent and no single tail bit found. The best reported CT reliability so far. No so called charge lateral migration issue (with our optimized SiN trapping layer and process integration) 24
25 We have developed a successful 2D CT BE-SONOS NAND with excellent reliability However, current FG NAND has already scaled to ~25nm node with TLC Therefore, CT NAND must look for further scaling below 1X nm node 25
26 Scaling Challenge of 2D CT NAND Below 20nm Node Lithography difficulty below 1X nm Few-electron storage and statistics RTN (noise) Interference of CT NAND is still observed High voltage requirement is approximately the same with FG 2D CT NAND probably has a similar (or a little more) scalability with FG NAND 26
27 Outline Introduction 2D Charge-Trapping (CT) NAND 3D CT NAND RRAM Summary 27
28 Simply Stacked 3D NAND Flash 3D TANOS devices Samsung: IEDM D TFT BE-SONOS devices Macronix: IEDM D stackable NAND Flash using charge-trapping devices were firstly demonstrated in Charge-trapping (CT) TANOS and BE-SONOS devices were used. To stack many layers may linearly increase the cost Not good when more than 4 layers are used. However, for <4 layers the cost is reduced. The process seems doable in principle for 2X nm node. 28
29 Bit-cost scalable (BiCS) NAND Flash TOSHIBA: VLSI Symposia 2007 A break-through concept was proposed by TOSHIBA. It uses a only one critical contact drill hole for many layers, thus the bit cost is scalable when more than 16 layers are used. 3D NAND is a way to bypass the difficulty in lateral scaling Also keep the electron number 29
