摘要： Providing for a new combination of non-volatile memory architecture and memory processing technology is described herein. By way of example, disclosed is a parallel bitline semiconductor architecture coupled with a channel-based processing technology. The channel based processing technology provides fast program/erase times, relatively high density and good scalability. Furthermore, the parallel bitline architecture enables very fast read times comparable with drain-based tunneling processes, achieving a combination of fast program, erase and read times far better than conventional non-volatile memories.

摘要： A method of erasing a flash electrically-erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device is provided which includes a plurality of memory cells. An erase pulse is applied to the plurality of memory cells. The plurality of memory cells is overerase verified and an overerase correction pulse is applied to the bitline to which the overerased memory cell is attached. This cycle is repeated until all cells verify as not being overerased. The plurality of memory cells is erase verified and another erase pulse is applied to the memory cells if there are undererased memory cells and the memory cells are again erase verified. This cycle is repeated until all cells verify as not being undererased. After erase verify is completed, the plurality of memory cells is soft program verified and a soft programming pulse is applied to the those memory cells in the plurality of memory cells which have a threshold voltage below a pre-defined minimum value. This cycle is repeated until all of those memory cells in the plurality of memory cells which have a threshold voltage below the pre-defined minimum value are brought above the pre-defined minimum value. The erase method is considered to be finished when there are no memory cells in the plurality of memory cells which have a threshold voltage below the pre-defined minimum value.

摘要： Providing for a serial array memory transistor architecture that achieves high read speeds compared with conventional serial array memory is described herein. By way of example, the serial array memory can be connected to and can drive a gate voltage of a small capacitance pass transistor, to facilitate sensing memory transistors of the serial array. The pass transistor modulates current flow or voltage at an adjacent metal bitline, which can be utilized to sense a program or erase state(s) of the memory transistors. Due to the small capacitance of the pass transistor, read latency for the serial array can be significantly lower than conventional serial array memory (e.g., NAND memory). Further, various mechanisms for forming an amplifier region of the serial array memory comprising discrete pass transistor are described to facilitate efficient fabrication of the serial array memory transistor architecture.

摘要： The present invention provides a method for determining program and erase states in flash memory devices. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for minimizing false detection of states in an array of non-volatile floating gate memory cells. A plurality of word lines are arranged in a plurality of rows. A plurality of bit lines are arranged in a plurality of columns. The method begins by determining a selected bit line that is associated with a column of memory cells. Then, the method continues by biasing a group of word lines at a negative voltage. The group of word lines are electrically coupled to the associated memory cells. The application of negative voltage to the group of word lines limits leakage current contributions from the associated memory cells in the column of memory cells when performing a verify operation.
