Charge Trap Flash (CTF) is a new technology for the fabrication of NAND flash devices. It was invented by Samsung Electronics in 2006. The technology depends on a SONOS (semiconductor-oxide-nitride-oxide-semiconductor) or MONOS (metal-ONOS) capacitor structure, storing the information in charge traps in the nitride layer.
