42 Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) Flash Same cell holds digital information of more than one bit Use sophisticated circuit to store a controlled amount of charge Use complex sensing mechanism to sense four levels of Vth Noise immunity reduced Scalability reduced I ds V cg 42

43 Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) Flash SLC Take advantage of the threshold voltage difference between the erased and programmed states of the single-level-cell case Two levels = 1 bit/cell Four levels = 2 bits/cell In general: n bits/cell = log2 (#levels) Need additional reference cells for program/ read One read reference cell for 1 bit/cell Three read reference cells for 2bits/cell N-1 reference cells for n bits/cell Corresponding reference cells for program 43

44 Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) Flash SLC MLC Take advantage of the threshold voltage difference between the erased and programmed states of the single-level-cell case Two levels = 1 bit/cell Four levels = 2 bits/cell In general: n bits/cell = log2 (#levels) Need additional reference cells for program/ read One read reference cell for 1 bit/cell Three read reference cells for 2bits/cell N-1 reference cells for n bits/cell Corresponding reference cells for program Count R1 P1 R2 P2 R3 P3

45 Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) Flash Why do MLC? Cost Effectively cuts cell area per bit in half Provides the same cost improvement from an array area perspective as a litho generation Three key MLC considerations Precise charge placement (Programming) Cell programming must be accurately controlled, which requires a detailed understanding of cell physics, voltage control and timing Precision voltage generation for stable wordline and drain voltage Precise charge sensing (Read) MLC read operation is an analog to digital conversion of the charge stored in the cell Device and capacitance matching, collapsing sources of variation, precision wordline and drain voltage generation, Low current sensing Stable charge storage Leakage rate needs to be less than one electron per day 44

46 Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) Flash SLC and MLC performance difference 45

47 OneNAND Architecture Add three SRAM blocks instead of data registers Add SRAM interface for the random access to the SRAM blocks 46

48 OneNAND Buffer RAM 47

49 OneNAND Applications Aiming at elimination of a NOR flash for booting Necessary boot code is provided by the buffer RAM with XIP Preserving the shadowing scheme 48

50 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) A software layer emulating standard block device interface Read/Write Features Sector mapping Garbage collection Power-off recovery Bad block management Wear-leveling Error correction code (ECC) 49

51 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) Garbage collection is performed when a virtual block is full, or the number of free pages in the whole device is lower than a specified threshold value The virtual blocks meeting the conditions are selected for erasure The valid physical pages are copied into a free area The selected physical blocks are erased 50

52 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) Wear leveling Expected NAND flash lifetime If the application writes at 3 Kbyte/s Wear Leveling extends the lifetime of NAND flash devices because it ensures that even if an application writes to the same virtual blocks over and over again, the program/erase cycles will be distributed evenly over the NAND flash memory Block Aging Table (BAT) to remember which blocks have been erased in a selected period of time Dynamic Wear Leveling Static Wear Leveling 51

53 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) Wear leveling Dynamic Wear Leveling New data is programmed to the free blocks, among the ones used to store user data, that have had the fewest write/erase cycles Static Wear Leveling Storing long-lived data (for example, code) are involved and their content is copied to another block so that the original block can be used for more frequently-changed data Triggered when the difference between the maximum and the minimum number of write/erase cycles per block reaches a specific threshold With this particular technique, the mean age of physical NAND blocks is maintained constant 52

54 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) Bad block management (BBM) 53

55 FTL (Flash Translation Layer) Bad block management (BBM) Skip block method Creates the Bad Block Table and when the target address corresponds to a Bad Block address, the data is stored in the next good block, skipping the Bad Block Reserved block method Replaced by good blocks by re-directing the Flash Translation Layer to a known good block 54
