Flash Memory: Current, Future and Challenges

Dr. Dengtao Zhao, Violin Memory

 

Abstract

 

In order to improve the storage bit density of a flash memory, scientist and engineers have been long working on scaling down the flash memory devices. Unfortunately, more and more challenges arise as well from either fabrication process or device physics. In this talk we will go through some of these challenges and their solutions. We will also introduce the concept of 3D flash device and explain the superiority and issues of 3D flash devices.
