Abstract:
A memory device and a memory device heat treatment method are provided. The memory device may include: a non-volatile memory device; one or more heating devices configured to contact with the non-volatile memory device and heat the non-volatile memory device; and a controller configured to control an operation of the one or more heating devices based on operational information of the non-volatile memory device. Through this, it may be possible to improve an available period of the non-volatile memory device.
Abstract:
A memory device and a memory data reading method are provided. The memory device may include: a multi-bit cell array; a programming unit that stores N data pages in a memory page in the multi-bit cell array; and a control unit that divides the N data pages into a first group and second group, reads data of the first group from the memory page, and determines a scheme of reading data of the second group from the memory page based on the read data of the first group.
Abstract:
A memory programming apparatuses and/or methods are provided. The memory programming apparatus may include a data storage unit, a first counting unit, an index storage unit and/or a programming unit. The data storage unit may be configured to store a data page. The first counting unit may be configured to generate index information by counting a number of cells included in at least one reference threshold voltage state based on the data page. The index storage unit may be configured to store the generated index information. The programming unit may be configured to store the data page in the data storage unit and store the generated index information in the index storage unit. The first counting unit may send the generated index information to the programming unit. The memory programming apparatus can monitor distribution states of threshold voltages in memory cells.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a flash memory device. According to a method of fabricating a flash memory device in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor substrate over which a tunnel insulating layer and a first conductive layer are formed is provided. A first oxide layer is formed on the first conductive layer using a plasma oxidization process in a state where a back bias voltage is applied. A nitride layer is formed on the first oxide layer. A second oxide layer is formed on the nitride layer. A second conductive layer is formed on the second oxide layer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a method of fabricating a flash memory device. The method includes forming a tunnel dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate using a plasma oxidization process. The tunnel dielectric layer is formed using the plasma oxidation process employing Ar and O2 gases, therefore, defect charges can be prevented from being created due to dangling bonds such as Si—H. Accordingly, the shift of the threshold voltage (Vth) of a device can be reduced and cycling and charge retention characteristics can be improved.
Abstract:
An apparatus for easing an impact on a boom of an excavator and a method of controlling the same are disclosed, which can minimize the vibration occurring in the boom due to the impact on a boom cylinder by actively controlling an amount of hydraulic fluid being supplied to the boom cylinder when the operation of the boom cylinder is suddenly stopped due to an operator's sudden manipulation of an operation lever for a working device. The apparatus includes first and second hydraulic pumps; a boom cylinder; a main control valve; an operation lever for supplying pilot signal pressure to a spool of the main control valve when an operator manipulates the operation lever; operation lever detection means for detecting boom up and boom down signal pressures according to an amount of manipulation of the operation lever; boom cylinder pressure detection means for detecting pressures generated in a large chamber and a small chamber of the boom cylinder; a controller for calculating and outputting a control signal of the main control valve if the boom cylinder has been suddenly stopped; and boom vibration preventing means for controlling the pilot signal pressure being supplied from the second hydraulic pump to the main control valve.
