Charge Trap Flash - MirrorBit Flash Memory

MirrorBit Flash Memory

Spansion’s MirrorBit Flash and Saifun’s NROM are two flash memories that use a charge trapping mechanism in nitride to store two bits onto the same cell effectively doubling the memory capacity of a chip. This is done by placing charges on either side of the charge trap layer. The cell is read by using forward and reverse currents through the channel to read either side of the charge trap.

Famous quotes containing the words flash and/or memory:

    The legislator must be in advance of his age.
    Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    That you’re wavin’ from the backroads by the rivers of my memory ever smilin’
    Ever gentle on my mind.
    John Hartford (b.1937)
