Program and erase operation on NAND-string of Bit-Cost Scalable (BiCS) flash memory has been successfully achieved. High boost efficiency of floating pillars and ONON (block oxide/charge SiN/tunnel oxide/tunnel SiN) structure as a memory film stack improve disturbance characteristics enough to realize tera-bit density of three dimensional flash memory. BiCS flash memory has become a more promising candidate for ultra high density memory.
