    摘要: Integrated circuit memory devices having reduced susceptibility to inadvertent programming and erasure include an array of memory cells arranged as a plurality of NAND strings of EEPROM cells which share common control lines (e.g., SSL1, SSL2) and word lines (e.g., WL1-WLn). These NAND strings preferably comprise a linear array or chain of EEPROM cells having first and second ends and first and second select transistors (ST1, ST2) coupled (directly or indirectly) to (he first and second ends, respectively. To provide improved program and erase capability, a pair of NAND strings are provided in antiparallel and share a common bit line. However, the pair of NAND strings are formed in respective nonoverlapping well regions in a substrate so that the channel regions of the EEPROM cells in respective NAND strings can be individually controlled (e.g., raised) to prevent inadvertent programming or erasing when cells in adjacent strings are being programmed or erased, respectively.

    摘要: A method of forming a capacitor of a semiconductor device is provided. In the method, a capacitor lower electrode is deposited on a semiconductor substrate and then a dielectric layer is deposited on the lower electrode. A dielectric barrier layer is deposited on an upper part of the dielectric layer. The dielectric barrier layer comprises a material for preventing degradation of a leakage current characteristic of the dielectric layer. The method further comprises depositing a capacitor upper electrode on an upper part of the dielectric barrier layer.

    摘要: Disclosed is a nonvolatile electrically-erasable semiconductor memory having an array of storage cells divided into sub-arrays, where the memory is formed on a semiconductor substrate doped with a first type of conductive impurity having a first well doped with a second type of conductive impurity. The storage cells for each sub-array are formed in a pocket well formed in the first well and doped with the first type of conductive impurity. A programming operation is performed by applying a programming voltage, such as 18 V, to the control gates of only those storage cells that are selected to be programmed, applying a ground level voltage to the pocket well corresponding to the selected storage cells, and applying an anti-programming voltage, such as 7 V, to the pocket wells corresponding to the storage cells that are not selected for programming. An erasing operation is performed by applying a ground level voltage to the control gates of the storage cells selected for erasure, applying an erasing voltage, such as 20 V, to the pocket well corresponding to the selected storage cells, and applying a prescribed voltage, such as from 4 V to 14 V, to the pocket wells corresponding to the storage cells that are not selected for erasure.

    摘要: An integrated circuit fuse circuit includes a plurality of fuses each connected to an output terminal, and a plurality of fuse programming circuits, a respective one of which is connected between a respective fuse and a reference voltage. Each of the fuse programming circuits includes a pair of complementary bipolar transistors and a field effect transistor. The pair of complementary bipolar transistors produce a large current through the associated fuse in response to a fuse programming signal which is applied to the field effect transistor. The fuse programming circuit may be fabricated in an integrated circuit by providing first and second spaced apart regions of second conductivity type in a well of first conductivity type, and a third region of the first conductivity type in the first region. An insulated gate is provided on the face between the first and second spaced apart regions. An insulated fuse is also provided on the face, electrically connected to the third region.
