6.20 NandFlash3 Vth(WritingTimeDependence): NAND flash memory cell
writing time dependence test (A.03.10)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Performs the writing time dependence test of the NAND-type flash memory cell, and plots the accumulated
writing time (accumulated pulse width) vs threshold voltage characteristics. The test is performed as follows.
1. Applies the write pulse with pulse width specified by the first element of the PulseWidth parameter.
2. Measures the Id-Vg characteristics, and extracts the threshold voltage (Vth).
3. Applies the write pulse with pulse width specified by the next element of the PulseWidth parameter.
4. Measures the Id-Vg characteristics, and extracts the threshold voltage (Vth).
5. Repeats 3 and 4 until that the pulse width becomes StopPulseWidth.
