Reply to Happy birthday to actor and Bergen County legend Alan Alda. Long-time resident of Leonia; commuted from LA to his New Jersey home every weekend for 11 years while starring in M*A*S*H; 6x Emmy/Golden Globe winner by rollotomasi07071

Met him in person while working at an event in Washington Square in the city. Nicest dude ever. Declined being in a photo but offered a short conversation and a firm handshake. Class act, lovely to talk with!

It's not 1000 etch cycles like you think of. It will be 1000 layers of the (if I remember correctly) word lines/bit lines stacked up. The cells are vertical columns that run through the whole staircase. They etch the columns for the NAND cells and the staircase for landing contacts differently. It'll be a lot of etching, but not one per layer like you're picturing. It'll more likely be multiple decks of etching.

I'm a little rusty at this, though. I was mainly a DRAM guy.
