Flash Memory In 1980, Fujio Masuoka invented a NOR-type flash memory : • 1 byte high-speed read-out • Low writing speed • Difficult to integrate * http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/docs/ct_s03600.jsp?p=000500; ** http://www.wikipedia.org/
NOR-Flash Writing and Erasing Operation Writing operation : Erasing operation : Negative potential voltage Positive potential voltage Control gate Insulating layer Floating gate Drain Source Open drain Ground Positive Positive * http://www.tdk.co.jp/techmag/knowledge/200705/index2.htm
NAND Flash Memory In 1986, Fujio Masuoka invented a NAND-type flash memory : • No 1 byte high-speed read-out • High writing speed • Ideal for integration • Flash erase for a unit block ( 1 ~ 10 kbyte ) only ! * http://www.wikipedia.org/

Solid State Drive with Flash Memory Solid state drive (SSD) started to replace HDD : pureSi introduced 2.5” 1-TB SDD in 2009 : • Data transfer speed at 300 MB/s • Slow write speed For example, a system with a units of 2kB for read / out and 256 kB for erase : in order to write 1 bit, the worst case scenario is • 128 times read-out • 1 time flash erase • 128 times re-write * http://www.tdk.co.jp/techjournal_e/vol01_ssd/contents02.htm
