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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Traditional flash memory has a single layer of cells, known as "2D planar NAND." As manufacturers shrank the cells and cell walls to increase storage density, fewer electrons resided in each cell ...

[Gene] has a project that writes a lot of settings to a PIC microcontroller’s Flash memory. Flash has limited read/erase cycles, and although the obvious problem ...

Professor Zhou Peng and his team at Fudan University completely reconfigured the structure of Flash memory where instead of traditional silicon, they used two-dimensional Dirac graphene ...

SLC makes for the fastest, most durable NAND flash memory. MLC (multi-level cell): Two bits are stored per cell, making it harder to read but there's a cost advantage: you get twice as much ...

a flash memory in which transistor dies are stacked vertically to increase storage density. Patent applications made public in late March include an improved stacking structure to resist potential ...
