In this work, we propose a dual-port cell design to address the pass disturbance in vertical NAND storage, which can pass signals through a dedicated and string-compatible pass gate. We demonstrate that (i) the pass disturb-free feature originates from weakening of the depolarization field by the pass bias at the high-VTH (HVT) state and the screening of the applied field by the channel at the low-VTH (LVT) state; (ii) combined simulations and experimental demonstrations of dual-port design verify the disturb-free operation in a NAND string, overcoming a key challenge in single-port designs; (iii) the proposed design can be incorporated into a highly scaled vertical NAND FeFET string, and the pass gate can be incorporated into the existing three-dimensional (3D) NAND with the negligible overhead of the pass gate interconnection through a global bottom pass gate contact in the substrate.
