6.12 NandFlash2 WordDisturb(ErasedCell): NAND flash memory cell erase-
disturb test (A.01.20)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Performs the erase-disturb test of the NAND-type flash memory cell, and plots the accumulated stress time vs
threshold voltage characteristics.
[Device Under Test]
NAND-type flash memory cell
Connect the Control Gate to the ASU1 Output, and the Drain to the ASU2 Output.
Open the Floating Gate, and connect the other terminals to the ASU3 Output.
