    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for electronic devices such as non-volatile memory devices are described. The memory devices include a multi-layer control dielectric, such as a double or triple layer. The multi-layer control dielectric includes a combination of high-k dielectric materials such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), hafnium oxide (HfO2), and/or hybrid films of hafnium aluminum oxide. The multi-layer control dielectric provides enhanced characteristics, including increased charge retention, enhanced memory program/erase window, improved reliability and stability, with feasibility for single or multistate (e.g., two, three or four bit) operation.

    摘要: A method for reading a non-volatile memory arranged in columns and rows which reduces adjacent cell coupling, sometimes referred to as the Yupin effect. The method includes the steps of: selecting a bit to be read in a word-line; reading an adjacent word line written after the word line; and reading the selected bit in the word line by selectively adjusting at least one read parameter. In one embodiment, the read parameter is the sense voltage. In another embodiment, the read parameter is the pre-charge voltage. In yet another embodiment, both the sense and the pre-charge voltage are adjusted.

    摘要: Shifts in the apparent charge stored on a floating gate (or other charge storing element) of a non-volatile memory cell can occur because of the coupling of an electric field based on the charge stored in adjacent floating gates (or other adjacent charge storing elements). The problem occurs most pronouncedly between sets of adjacent memory cells that have been programmed at different times. To compensate for this coupling, the read process for a given memory cell will take into account the programmed state of an adjacent memory cell.

    摘要: Shifts in the apparent charge stored on a floating gate (or other charge storing element) of a non-volatile memory cell can occur because of the coupling of an electric field based on the charge stored in neighboring floating gates (or other neighboring charge storing elements). The problem occurs most pronouncedly between sets of adjacent memory cells that have been programmed at different times. To compensate for this coupling, the read process for a given memory cell will take into account the programmed state of a neighbor memory cell if the neighbor memory cell was programmed subsequent to the given memory cell. Techniques for determining whether the neighbor memory cell was programmed before or after the given memory cell are disclosed.

    摘要: A semiconductor device has trenches for defining active regions. After a thin diffusion barrier is deposited in the trenches, some of the trenches are selectively etched to leave different areas in the trench. One of the areas has the diffusion barrier completely removed so that the underlying layer is exposed. Another area has the diffusion barrier remaining. An oxidation step follows so that oxidation occurs at a corner where the diffusion barrier was removed whereas the oxidation is blocked by the diffusion barrier, which functions as a barrier to oxygen. The corners for oxidation are those in which compressive stress is desirable, such as along a portion of the border of a P channel transistor. The corners where the diffusion barrier is left are those in which a compressive stress is undesirable such as the border of an N channel transistor.

    摘要: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments can provide for reduced program disturb in non-volatile semiconductor memory. In one embodiment, select memory cells such as those connected to a last word line of a NAND string are programmed using one or more program verify levels or voltages that are different than a corresponding level used to program other cells or word lines. One exemplary embodiment includes using a lower threshold voltage verify level for select physical states when programming the last word line to be programmed for a string during a program operation. Another embodiment includes applying a lower program voltage to program memory cells of the last word line to select physical states. Additional read levels are established for reading the states programmed using lower verify levels in some exemplary implementations. A second program voltage step size that is larger than a nominal step size is used in one embodiment when programming select memory cells or word lines, such as the last word line to be programmed for a NAND string.
