Flash memory devices represented a breakthrough in the storage industry since their inception in the mid-1980s, and innovation is still ongoing after more than 35 years [...

However, the paradigm change represented by the 3D memory integration concept has complicated the randomization task due to the increased dimensions of the memory array, especially along the bitlines. In this work, we propose an easy to implement, cost effective, and fully scalable with memory dimensions, randomization scheme that guarantees optimal randomization along the wordline and the bitline dimensions.
