An fast program, ultra-high density, dual-bit, multi-level flash memory process, which can be applied to a ballistic step split gate side wall transistor, or to a ballistic planar split gate side wall transistor, which enables program operation by low voltage requirement on the floating gate during program is described. Two side wall floating gates are paired with a single word line select gate, and word lines are arranged to be perpendicular both the bit lines and control gate lines. Two adjacent memory cells on the same word line do not require an isolation region. Also, the isolation region between adjacent memory cells sharing the same bitline is defined by the minimum lithography feature, utilizing a self align fill technique. Adjacent memory cells on the same word line share bitline diffusion as well as a third poly control gate. Control gates allow program and read access to the individual floating gate. In addition to the dual-bit nature of the cell, density can be even further improved by multi-level storage. In one embodiment, the dual multi-level structure is applied to the ballistic step split gate side wall transistor. In a second embodiment, the dual multi-level structure is applied to the ballistic planar split gate side wall transistor. Both types of ballistic transistors provide fast, low voltage programming. The control gates are used to override or suppress the various threshold voltages on associated floating gates, in order to program to and read from individual floating gates. The targets for this non-volatile memory array are to provide the capabilities of high speed, low voltage programming (band width) and high density storage.

Meeting todays requirement in power supply technology demands significant technological advancement in optimizing circuit topology, components and materials, thermal and packaging designs. These requirements are being pushed mainly by continuously increasing power density and efficiency requirements. Ultimately, these trends will come to a point whereby limitations from the above mentioned technological advancements is dependent on one of the above, which is the packaging design. To realize this dependence, we need to look at the growing power systems for modern equipment out there. Let us enumerate some of the available AC adapters in terms of power densities of a 45 W adapter. Firstly, square type architecture introduced by Apple is about 7 W/in3, considering the packaging has a profile limitation whereby its AC plug is removable thus occupying relatively bigger chunk of the volume. The next one is by Asus of similar profile to Apple incorporating the AC Plug eliminating the socket assembly in the packaging; which packs about 9 W/in3. Lastly, the typical rectangular profile by Eos which is about 7 W/in3. As for this particular embodiment it is about 40% smaller in profile, in contrast to the 45 W Apple packaging, with increase power density of about 12 W/in3. Packaging design method plays a great role in achieving the above requirements for a very high density converters.
