Traditional NAND flash records zeros and ones by storing charge in a set of floating gate transistors, with the presence or absence of charge corresponding to a 0 or a 1 in single-level cell NAND ...

Along the road, several technology innovations have been introduced to maintain this trendline. Until recently, NAND flash memory cells were arranged in a planar configuration, using floating gate ...

To read data from a NAND Flash memory cell, a voltage is applied to the control gate. If electrons are present on the floating gate, the transistor will not conduct current, indicating a "0" state. If ...

Above, we can see how two basic gates are constructed from transistors: an inverter and a NAND gate. In the inverter, a pMOS transistor is placed at the top, connected to the power line, while an ...

Basic model of a floating-gate transistor. At the core of NAND Flash lies the concept of floating gates, as first pioneered in the 1960s with the floating-gate MOSFET ( FGMOS ).

For the last few years the media has debated which Flash memory technology, NAND or NOR, will emerge as the market winner. This discussion implies that the different Flash technologies are essentially ...

Transistors based on ions, as opposed to electrons, offer the promise of bridging the gap between technological and biological systems. Tybrandtet al. present logic gates based on ion bipolar ...

Traditional inverters – NOT gates – are already made with diodes (typically not light-emitting), resistors (typically not light-dependent), and bipolar transistors. The challenge was to reduce ...

Each logic cell (an arrangement of transistors to form a specific logic gate, such as a NAND gate or a flip flop) is surrounded by dummy gates: spacers to isolate one cell from its neighbor.
