Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We fabricated a 4Gb multilevel AG-AND flash memory using 90nm CMOS technology. By using an inversion-layer local-bitline technology, the bit-line pitch is reduced to 2 F, resulting in a 126 mm2 chip size and a 0.0162um2/bit cell size. To achieve 2-bits/cell, we have to precisely control the large resistance of the inversion-layer bit-line. In reading operations, two compensation methods, the address compensation and temperature compensation methods, were applied. In programming operations, charge-sharing scheme suppresses the difference in programming speeds along the string and self-boosting scheme reduces the time overhead of pre-charging bitlines. With these two schemes, a high programming throughput of 10 MB/s is achieved, even in multilevel flash memory. We have also provided a cache-read function to achieve a high access throughput of 22 MB/s.
