How does NAND Flash Work? Reading from TLC : Triple Level Cells || Exploring Solid State Drives
Branch Education・10 minutes read
Nanoscopic charge trap flash memory cells store information in devices like smartphones and computers by storing electrons in the charge trap to represent binary values, with the goal of increasing storage capacity to store three bits of information. Memory cells are part of 3D NAND structures in devices, and reading information involves the gate controlling electron flow through the channel to manipulate the charge trap and create different threshold voltages for storing binary values.
Insights
- Memory cells in devices like smartphones and computers store information by trapping electrons, represented as zeros or ones, within the charge trap.
- The challenge lies in enhancing the storage capacity of memory cells to accommodate three bits of information or values ranging from zero to seven, requiring manipulation of charge traps to establish diverse threshold voltages for binary storage.
