    摘要: Steering and bit lines (of a flash EEPROM system, for example) are segmented along columns of a memory cell array. In one embodiment, the steering and bit lines of one of their segments are connected at a time to respective global steering and bit lines. The number of rows of memory cells included in individual steering gate segments is a multiple of the number of rows included in individual bit line segments in order to have fewer steering gate segments. This saves considerable circuit area by reducing the number of segment selecting transistors necessary for the steering gates, since these transistors must be larger than those used to select bit line segments in order to handle higher voltages. In another embodiment, local steering gate line segments are combined in order to reduce their number, and the reduced number of each segment is then connected directly with an address decoder, without the necessity of a multiplicity of large switching transistors outside of the decoder to select the segment.
