Executive Summary
Samsung is a giant in the NAND market, dominating for several years. In 2020, the company was the world's top NAND flash maker with amarket share of 34%, followed by Japan's Kioxia Corp. with 21% and U.S. chipmaker Western Digital Corp. with 18%.
There is an explosive worldwide growth of data production causing the demand for high-performing, reliable non-volatile memory. NANDmemory providers are continuously pushing the limits of 3D stacking to provide improved storage density with each generation of 3DNAND memories.
Samsung’s vertical-NAND flash technology satisfies rising data demands by increasing the number of stacked layers. Vertical stacking ofmemory cells or wordlines creates a three-dimensional structure which overcomes the capacity limitations. Samsung first commercializedits 24-layered V-NAND in 2013 and today has reached 128 layers in its 6th-generation V-NAND. This 6th-generation design stacks a totalof 136-layer wordlines in a single tier. Meanwhile, NAND memory competitors are using a double-stack technology to develop their 3DNAND stacked memories, yet Samsung sticks to using a single stack which requires a more advanced etching technique and results in anincreased high-aspect ratio. The company’s sixth-generation V-NAND adds almost 40% more cells to the previous 92-layer 5th-generation V-NAND, resulting in an almost 25% chip area reduction.
This report presents a detailed study of Samsung’s latest 128-layer V-NAND using charge trap flash and triple-level cell NAND memorycells. The high-quality optical images and high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are extracted to give physicaldetails of the package and die cross-sections, including material identification. Also included are process details to better understand themajor fabrication steps. Additionally, this report provides a cost estimation for producing the memory wafer with multiple wordlines, thedie cost, and the packaging cost.
Finally, this report features a comparison of Samsung’s previous-generation memories: this includes Gen 4 with 64 layers, Gen 5 with 92layers, and Gen 6 with 128 layers. This comparison summary comprises the package and die physical comparison, die density, wafer cost,and die cost. It also identifies the similar physical features and the evolution of Samsung’s V-NAND with each generation.
