Abstract

This chapter introduces the model-based quantitative performance indicator methodology applicable for performance, cost and reliability optimization of non-volatile memories. The complex example of NAND flash memories is used to develop the methodology based on a benchmarking of NAND flash product innovations along the CMOS shrink roadmap. A performance and array model is introduced and a set of performance indicators characterizing architecture, cost and durability is defined.
