Embedded CMOS Flash memory IP with sector/chip Erase and byte Program capability

SuperFlash® is SST’s patented and proprietary NOR flash technology.

Overview

SuperFlash® is SST’s patented and proprietary NOR flash technology. With 80B+ devices shipped, SuperFlash is the non-volatile memory of choice for embedded applications.
In high-volume production since 1995, the technology relies on a split-gate cell design and thick oxide tunneling injector. SST continues to improve the technology, now in its third generation incarnation at advanced process nodes down to 28nm.
The technology has a number of distinct advantages. First, design using SuperFlash macro benefit from low power consumption during program due to low current source side injection and during erase due to low FN tunnelling current. Higher bandwidth is achievable because of the fast access time while the endurance and retention characteristics of the technology achieve best in class reliability. Manufacturability has been demonstrated at multiple process nodes and foundries. Finally, broad deployment of the technology across a variety of applications is enabled by customized solutions for various market segments.

Concealable physical unclonable functions using vertical NAND flash memory

Here, the authors propose a concealable PUF using V-NAND flash memory by generating PUF data through weak Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage (GIDL) erase. The differences in doping depth among V-NAND strings arising from the fabrication cause variations in GIDL erase performance. The resulting V-NAND PUF demonstrated ideal security characteristics while maintaining 100% accuracy under variations in read count and temperature.

Maximizing Performance & Reliability for Flash Applications with Synopsys xSPI Solution

Systems using SoCs designed in advanced processes generally rely on external Flash devices that use NOR/NAND Flash memory technology for non-volatile storage. NOR Flash memory offers many benefits for device manufacturers and consumers, such as faster reading, low power consumption, and smaller area. In contrast, NAND Flash memories are ideal for applications such as data storage, where higher memory capacity and faster write and erase operations are required.
