NAND Flash is named after the NAND (NOT-AND) logic gate, which is used in its basic architecture. The term "NAND" is derived from the way the memory cells are organized in a series-connected structure ...

Flash memory cells add a second (or 'floating') gate ... organizations presented a variety of new three-dimensional (3D) structures that may be able to provide a solution to these challenges.

However, this block erasing is flash memory's peculiarity. Flash memory cells must be erased before they can be written to. Cells make up pages, and pages make up blocks, but while pages are ...

NOR flash memory wiring and structure on silicon (Credit: Cyferz, Wikimedia) To write a NOR Flash cell (set it to logical ‘0’), an elevated voltage is applied to the control gate, inducing HCI.

The flash memory used for solid state drives (SSDs) and USB drives also stores bits in cells; however, when the power is turned off, the memory cells retain their content (see flash memory).

A research team at Fudan University has built the fastest semiconductor storage device ever reported, a non‑volatile flash ...

The special properties of Flash memory reach deep down to the silicon, where individual memory cells (floating gates ... File systems provide a file-based structure on top of the logical block ...
