Novel Program Scheme of Vertical NAND Flash Memory for Reduction of Z-Interference.

ABSTRACT: Minimizing the variation in threshold voltage (V_t) of programmed cells is required to the extreme level for realizing multi-level-cells; as many as even 5 bits per cell recently. In this work, a recent program scheme to write the cells from the top, for instance the 170th layer, to the bottom, the 1st layer, (T-B scheme) in vertical NAND (VNAND) Flash Memory, is investigated to minimize V_t variation by reducing Z-interference. With the aid of Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) the Z-Interference for T-B (84 mV) is found to be better than B-T (105 mV). Moreover, under scaled cell dimensions (e.g., L_g: 31→24 nm), the improvement becomes protruding (T-B: 126 mV and B-T: 162 mV), emphasizing the significance of the T-B program scheme for the next generation VNAND products with the higher bit density.

CMOS-compatible ferroelectric NAND flash memory for high-density, low-power, and high-speed three-dimensional memory.

Project description:Ferroelectric memory has been substantially researched for several decades as its potential to obtain higher speed, lower power consumption, and longer endurance compared to conventional flash memory. Despite great deal of effort to develop ferroelectric memory based on perovskite oxides on Si, formation of unwanted interfacial layer substantially compromises the performance of the ferroelectric memory. Furthermore, three-dimensional (3D) integration has been unimaginable because of high processing temperature, non-CMOS compatibility, difficulty in scaling, and complex compositions of perovskite oxides. Here, we demonstrate a unique strategy to tackle critical issues by applying hafnia-based ferroelectrics and oxide semiconductors. Thus, it is possible to avoid the formation of interfacial layer that finally allows unprecedented Si-free 3D integration of ferroelectric memory. This strategy yields memory performance that could be achieved neither by the conventional flash memory nor by the previous perovskite ferroelectric memories. Device simulation confirms that this strategy can realize ultrahigh-density 3D memory integration.

ReHypar: a recursive hybrid chunk partitioning method using NAND-flash memory SSD.

Project description:Due to the rapid development of flash memory, SSD is considered to be the replacement of HDD in the storage market. Although SSD retains several promising characteristics, such as high random I/O performance and nonvolatility, its high expense per capacity is the main obstacle in replacing HDD in all storage solutions. An alternative is to provide a hybrid structure where a small portion of SSD address space is combined with the much larger HDD address space. In such a structure, maximizing the space utilization of SSD in a cost-effective way is extremely important to generate high I/O performance. We developed ReHypar (recursive hybrid chunk partitioning) that enables improving the space utilization of SSD in the hybrid structure. The first objective of ReHypar is to mitigate the fragmentation overhead of SSD address space, by reusing the remaining free space of I/O units as much as possible. Furthermore, ReHypar allows defining several, logical data sections in SSD address space, with each of those sections being configured with the different I/O unit. We integrated ReHypar with ext2 and ext4 and evaluated it using two public benchmarks including IOzone and Postmark.

Memcapacitor Crossbar Array with Charge Trap NAND Flash Structure for Neuromorphic Computing.

Project description:The progress of artificial intelligence and the development of large-scale neural networks have significantly increased computational costs and energy consumption. To address these challenges, researchers are exploring low-power neural network implementation approaches and neuromorphic computing systems are being highlighted as potential candidates. Specifically, the development of high-density and reliable synaptic devices, which are the key elements of neuromorphic systems, is of particular interest. In this study, an 8 × 16 memcapacitor crossbar array that combines the technological maturity of flash cells with the advantages of NAND flash array structure is presented. The analog properties of the array with high reliability are experimentally demonstrated, and vector-matrix multiplication with extremely low error is successfully performed. Additionally, with the capability of weight fine-tuning characteristics, a spiking neural network for CIFAR-10 classification via off-chip learning at the wafer level is implemented. These experimental results demonstrate a high level of accuracy of 92.11%, with less than a 1.13% difference compared to software-based neural networks (93.24%).

Quantum interference mediated vertical molecular tunneling transistors.

Project description:Molecular transistors operating in the quantum tunneling regime represent potential electronic building blocks for future integrated circuits. However, due to their complex fabrication processes and poor stability, traditional molecular transistors can only operate stably at cryogenic temperatures. Here, through a combined experimental and theoretical investigation, we demonstrate a new design of vertical molecular tunneling transistors, with stable switching operations up to room temperature, formed from cross-plane graphene/self-assembled monolayer (SAM)/gold heterostructures. We show that vertical molecular junctions formed from pseudo-p-bis((4-(acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)-p-[2,2]cyclophane (PCP) SAMs exhibit destructive quantum interference (QI) effects, which are absent in 1,4-bis(((4-acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)benzene (OPE3) SAMs. Consequently, the zero-bias differential conductance of the former is only about 2% of the latter, resulting in an enhanced on-off current ratio for (PCP) SAMs. Field-effect control is achieved using an ionic liquid gate, whose strong vertical electric field penetrates through the graphene layer and tunes the energy levels of the SAMs. The resulting on-off current ratio achieved in PCP SAMs can reach up to ~330, about one order of magnitude higher than that of OPE3 SAMs. The demonstration of molecular junctions with combined QI effect and gate tunability represents a critical step toward functional devices in future molecular-scale electronics.

Demonstration of In-Memory Biosignal Analysis: Novel High-Density and Low-Power 3D Flash Memory Array for Arrhythmia Detection.

Project description:Smart healthcare systems integrated with advanced deep neural networks enable real-time health monitoring, early disease detection, and personalized treatment. In this work, a novel 3D AND-type flash memory array with a rounded double channel for computing-in-memory (CIM) architecture to overcome the limitations of conventional smart healthcare systems: the necessity of high area and energy efficiency while maintaining high classification accuracy is proposed. The fabricated array, characterized by low-power operations and high scalability with double independent channels per floor, exhibits enhanced cell density and energy efficiency while effectively emulating the features of biological synapses. The CIM architecture leveraging the fabricated array achieves high classification accuracy (93.5%) for electrocardiogram signals, ensuring timely detection of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Incorporated with a simplified spike-timing-dependent plasticity learning rule, the CIM architecture is suitable for robust, area- and energy-efficient in-memory arrhythmia detection systems. This work effectively addresses the challenges of conventional smart healthcare systems, paving the way for a more refined healthcare paradigm.

Noise reduction in protein-protein interaction graphs by the implementation of a novel weighting scheme.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Recent technological advances applied to biology such as yeast-two-hybrid, phage display and mass spectrometry have enabled us to create a detailed map of protein interaction networks. These interaction networks represent a rich, yet noisy, source of data that could be used to extract meaningful information, such as protein complexes. Several interaction network weighting schemes have been proposed so far in the literature in order to eliminate the noise inherent in interactome data. In this paper, we propose a novel weighting scheme and apply it to the S. cerevisiae interactome. Complex prediction rates are improved by up to 39%, depending on the clustering algorithm applied. RESULTS: We adopt a two step procedure. During the first step, by applying both novel and well established protein-protein interaction (PPI) weighting methods, weights are introduced to the original interactome graph based on the confidence level that a given interaction is a true-positive one. The second step applies clustering using established algorithms in the field of graph theory, as well as two variations of Spectral clustering. The clustered interactome networks are also cross-validated against the confirmed protein complexes present in the MIPS database. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our experimental work demonstrate that interactome graph weighting methods clearly improve the clustering results of several clustering algorithms. Moreover, our proposed weighting scheme outperforms other approaches of PPI graph weighting.

Novel Conjugated Side Chain Fluorinated Polymers Based on Fluorene for Light-Emitting and Ternary Flash Memory Devices.

Project description:Three novel conjugated polymers based on 9,9'-dioctylfluorene unit and isoindolo[2,1-a]benzimidazol-11-one with different fluorine substituents (0, 2 and 4) were synthesized. PLED and resistive memory devices based on these polymers were prepared consequently. PLED based on four-fluorinated polymer showed the highest maximum brightness of 3192?cd?m-2 with almost 5-fold increase of current efficiency 8-fold increase of external quantum efficiency compared to that of the other two, and all the PLEDs exhibited good emission stability with no noticeable change of electroluminescence even under high voltage of 10?V. The memory device of doubly-fluorinated polymer exhibited ternary flash behavior with threshold voltages below -2.5?V, while device of four-fluorinated polymer possessed ON/OFF current ratio above 104. Impact of fluorine substitutions on the performance of devices were briefly investigated. The results revealed that the improvement of device performance might not scale with the increasing number of fluorine substitutions, and the four-fluorine-substituted polymer and doubly-fluorinated polymer could be encouraging materials for applications of PLED and resistive memory device and worth of further design of other new polymer systems.

A Novel Read Scheme for Large Size One-Resistor Resistive Random Access Memory Array.

Project description:The major issue of RRAM is the uneven sneak path that limits the array size. For the first time record large One-Resistor (1R) RRAM array of 128x128 is realized, and the array cells at the worst case still have good Low-/High-Resistive State (LRS/HRS) current difference of 378?nA/16?nA, even without using the selector device. This array has extremely low read current of 9.7??A due to both low-current RRAM device and circuit interaction, where a novel and simple scheme of a reference point by half selected cell and a differential amplifier (DA) were implemented in the circuit design.

Preventing interference between different memory tasks.

Project description:When learned in quick succession, declarative and motor skill tasks interfere with one another and subsequent recall is impaired. Depending on the order of the tasks, we were able to prevent memory interference in humans by applying transcranial magnetic stimulation to either the dorsolateral prefrontal or the primary motor cortex, and neither memory was impaired. Our observations suggest that distinct mechanisms support the communication between different types of memory processing.

Novel Golden Lipid Nanoparticles with Small Interference Ribonucleic Acid for Substrate Reduction Therapy in Fabry Disease.

Project description:Substrate reduction therapy (SRT) has been proposed as a new gene therapy for Fabry disease (FD) to prevent the formation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Nanomedicines containing different siRNA targeted to Gb3 synthase (Gb3S) were designed. Formulation factors, such as the composition, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) preparation method and the incorporation of different ligands, such as gold nanoparticles (GNs), protamine (P) and polysaccharides, were evaluated. The new siRNA-golden LNPs were efficiently internalized in an FD cell model (IMFE-1), with GNs detected in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Silencing efficacy (measured by RT-qPCR) depended on the final composition and method of preparation, with silencing rates up to 90% (expressed as the reduction in Gb3S-mRNA). GNs conferred a higher system efficacy and stability without compromising cell viability and hemocompatibility. Immunocytochemistry assays confirmed Gb3S silencing for at least 15 days with the most effective formulations. Overall, these results highlight the potential of the new siRNA-golden LNP system as a promising nanomedicine to address FD by specific SRT.
