Method of improving read current stability in analog non-volatile memory by program adjustment for memory cells exhibiting random telegraph noise
Abstract:
A method and device for programming a non-volatile memory cell, where the non-volatile memory cell includes a first gate. The non-volatile memory cell is programmed to an initial program state that corresponds to meeting or exceeding a target threshold voltage for the first gate of the non-volatile memory cell. The target threshold voltage corresponds to a target read current. The non-volatile memory cell is read in a first read operation using a read voltage applied to the first gate of the non-volatile memory cell that is less than the target threshold voltage to generate a first read current. The non-volatile memory cell is subjected to additional programming in response to determining that the first read current is greater than the target read current.
