  • Micron: NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends
    NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends Michael Abraham ([email protected]) Applications Engineering Manager Micron Technology, Inc. Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 1 Abstract As NAND Flash continues to shrink, page sizes, block sizes, and ECC requirements are increasing while data retention, endurance, and performance are decreasing. These changes impact systems including random write performance and more. Learn how to prepare for these changes and counteract some of them through improved block management techniques and system design. This presentation also discusses some of the tradeoff myths – for example, the myth that you can directly trade ECC for endurance Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 2 NAND Flash: Shrinking Faster Than Moore’s Law 200 100 Logic 80 DRAM on (nm) ii 60 NAND Resolut 40 Micron 32Gb NAND (34nm) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Semiconductor International, 1/1/2007 Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 3 Memory Organization Trends Over time, NAND block size is increasing. • Larger page sizes increase sequential throughput. • More pages per block reduce die size. 4,194,304 1,048,576 262,144 65,536 16,384 4,096 1, 024 256 64 16 Block size (B) Data Bytes per Page Pages per Block Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 4 Consumer-grade NAND Flash: Endurance and ECC Trends Process shrinks lead to less electrons ppgger floating gate.

NAND has been the only commodity memory with no standard interface – Command set, timings, and pin-out are similar among vendors NAND has been ripe for standardization due to a few inflection points: – 1) Explosion in use of NAND for MP3 players, phones, caches, and SSDs – 2) Increase in number of NAND vendors serving the market (2 to 6+) ONFi Workgroup was formed in May 2006 to address “gap” – ONFI = Open NAND Flash Interface ONFi revision 1.0 delivered in December 2006, defines: – Uniform NAND electrical and protocol interface • Raw NAND component interface for embedded use • Includes timings, electrical, protocol • Standardized base command set – Uniform mechanism for device to report its capabilities to the host ONFI 1.0 sets a solid foundation for NAND (r)evolution. 4 A-Data Afa Technologies Alcor Micro Aleph One Anobit Tech.
