6.6 NandFlash2 IV-Erase-IV: NAND flash memory cell Id-Vg, Erase, Id-Vg
(A.01.20)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures the Id-Vg characteristics of NAND-type flash memory cell, performs the data erase operation,
measures the Id-Vg characteristics again, and plots the both Id-Vg characteristics on a graph. Uses pulse
generator (2-output) 1 unit and HRSMU/ASU 2 sets.
Before the Id-Vg measurements, the initial pulse will be applied to the device under test.
[Device Under Test]
NAND-type flash memory cell
Connect the Control Gate to a SMU and the Drain to the ASU1 Output.
Open the Floating Gate. And connect the other terminals to the ASU2 Output.
[Required Modules and Accessories]
Agilent 81110A pulse generator (2-output, PGU1 and PGU2) 1 unit
HRSMU/ASU 2 sets (ASU1 and ASU2)
ASU1 connections: Output: Drain, SMU: HRSMU, AUX: PGU1
ASU2 connections: Output: Source and Substrate, SMU: HRSMU, AUX: PGU1
