Abstract: In order to overcome the bit-to-bit interference of the traditional multi-level NAND type device, this paper firstly proposes a novel multi-bit non-uniform channel charge trapping memory (NUC-CTM) device with virtual-source NAND-type array architecture, which can effectively restrain the second-bit effect (SBE) and provide 3-bit per cell capability. Owing to the n- buffer region, the SBE induced threshold voltage window shift can be reduced to less than 400 mV and the minimum threshold voltage window between neighboring levels is larger than 750 mV for reliable 3-bit operation. A silicon-rich SiON is also investigated as a trapping layer to improve the retention reliability of the NUC-CTM.
