AI model accelerates ferroelectric NAND retention analysis over 10000x faster than TCAD

Researchers have developed a novel Physics-Informed Neural Operator (PINO) model to accelerate the analysis of data retention in ferroelectric vertical NAND (Fe-VNAND) flash memory. This AI surrogate model integrates fundamental physical principles, achieving a speedup of over 10,000 times compared to traditional Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) simulations. The PINO framework accurately predicts threshold voltage shifts and retention behavior, offering a significant advancement for optimizing device designs and enabling reliability-aware simulations.
