Investigation on the origin of the anomalous tail bits on nitrided charge trap flash memory
Anomalous tail bits are ascribed to traps-assisted-tunneling mechanism. Higher P/E cycle counts increase anomalous tail bits. Higher storage temperatures reduce anomalous tail bits. Room temperature storage is a crucial data retention test for nitrided flash memory.
