Definition

A NAND flash-memory architecture in which memory cells are built in vertical stacks of many layers, with vertical channel structures connecting cells through the stack.

Application

Used in solid-state drives, mobile storage and data-center storage to increase bit density by scaling upward in layers instead of relying only on smaller lateral features.
