TOSHIBA MOS DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT SILICON GATE CMOS
Reliability Note for 15nm MLC (Multi-Level-Cell) NAND Flash Memory of JEDEC
Ver.5.1 e•MMC
DESCRIPTION
This reliability note is intended to provide some guidance related to using 15nm MLC NAND flash. The following reliability data
are experimental results to be used for reference, and are based on using built in ECC and a read retry sequence(s).
Although random bit errors may occur during use, it does not necessarily mean that a block is bad. Generally, a block should be
marked as bad when a program status failure or erase status failure is detected. The other failure modes may be recovered by a block
erase.
ECC treatment for read data is mandatory due to the following Data Retention and Read Disturb failures.
RELIABILITY NOTE
Write/Erase Endurance
Write/Erase endurance failures may occur in a cell, page, or block, and are detected by doing a status read after either an auto
program or auto block erase operation. The cumulative bad block count will increase along with the number of write/erase
cycles.
Write/Erase Cumulative Block
Cycle Failure Rate
[%]
3,000 Less than 0.04
Data Retention
The data in memory may change after a certain amount of storage time. This is due to charge loss or charge gain. After block
erasure and reprogramming, the block may become usable again.
Here are the combined characteristics of Write/Erase Endurance and Data Retention.

- The 1,000 ppm above is the device failure rate
when one or more 1 KB areas become uncorrectable.
Read Disturb
A read operation may disturb the data in memory. The data may change due to charge gain. Usually, bit errors occur on other
pages in the block, not the page being read. After a large number of read cycles (between block erases), a tiny charge may build
up and can cause a cell to be soft programmed to another state. After block erasure and reprogramming, the block may become
usable again.
