    摘要: A method and apparatus for testing semiconductors comprising stacked floating gate structures. A floating gate is programmed (710). An electrical stress or disturb voltage is applied to a control gate with a source and a drain in a specific set of conditions (720). Subsequent to the stressing, a drain current versus gate voltage relationship is measured (730). The sequence of programming, stressing and measuring may be repeated (740) with different conditions for source and drain. More particularly, positive and negative biases are applied to a source while a drain is held at ground, and similar biases are applied to a drain while a source is held at ground. Through inspection of the measurement information taken after this sequence of stress applications, a stack gate edge-defect may be identified (750) as associated with a source edge or a drain edge. In this novel manner, stack gate edge defects may be identified and localized via non-destructive means, and corrective actions to the semiconductor manufacturing process and/or the partially manufactured wafer may be taken.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to a method of determining a source/drain junction overlap and a channel length of a small device, such as a MOS transistor. A large reference device having a known channel length is provided, and a source, drain, and substrate on which the device has been formed are grounded. A predetermined gate voltage is applied to a gate of the large device, and a gate to channel current of the reference device is measured. A source, drain, and substrate on which the small device has been formed are grounded, and the predetermined voltage is applied to a gate of the small device, and a gate to channel current of the small device is measured. The substrate and one of the source or the drain of the small device is floated, and a predetermined drain voltage is applied to source or the drain which is not floating. A gate to drain current for the small device is measured, and a source/drain junction overlap length is calculated. The source/drain junction overlap length is then used to calculate the channel length of the small device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a flash memory array architecture comprising a plurality of flash memory cells arranged in a NOR type array configuration. Each of the plurality of flash memory cells have a source terminal coupled together to form a common source. The array architecture further comprises a common source selection component coupled between the common source of the array and a predetermined potential. The common source selection component is operable to couple the common source to the predetermined potential in a first state and electrically isolate or float the common source from the predetermined potential in a second state, thereby reducing leakage of non-selected cells associated with the activated bit line during a program mode of operation.
