Summary: 
A 4-Gb AG-AND flash memory was fabricated by using a 90-nm CMOS technology. To reduce cell size, an inversion-layer-bit-line technology was developed, enabling the elimination of both shallow trench isolations and diffusion layers from the memory cells. The inversion-layer-bit-line technology combined with a multilevel cell technique achieved a bit area 2F2 of 0.0162 µm2, resulting in a chip size of 126 mm2. Both an address and temperature compensation techniques control the resistance of the inversion-layer local bit line. Source-side hot-electron injection programming with self-boosted charge, accumulated in inversion-layer bit lines under assist gates, reduces the dispersal of programming characteristics and also reduces the time overhead of pre-charging the bit lines. This self-boosted charge-injection scheme achieves a programming throughput of 10 MB/s.
