NAND Flash Innovations
S. Aritome · IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine · 2013
Recent progress in mobile equipments (ex. smartphone and tablet-PC) requires further effort in developing higher density and higher reliability nonvolatile semiconductor memories. A breakthrough in the field of nonvolatile memories was the invention of the Flash memory by Prof. Fujio Masuoka [1]. The Flash memory had many advantages in comparison with other nonvolatile memories. Therefore, the development of Flash memory has been explosively accelerated.
