Abstract:
Each memory cell of a plurality of memory cells of a memory has a well, source and drain regions, a storage layer, and a gate. The memory cells are in a matrix. Same column drain regions connect to the same bit line, same row gates connect to the same word line, and same column source regions connect to the same source line. The memory is programmed by applying a first voltage to a word line electrically connected to a memory cell of the plurality of memory cells, applying a second voltage different from the first voltage by at least a programming threshold to a bit line electrically connected to the memory cell, applying a third voltage different from the first voltage by at least the programming threshold to a source line electrically connected to the memory cell, and applying a substrate voltage to the plurality of memory cells.
