摘要:
There is provided an improved method for eliminating hot-carrier disturb during a read operation in a NAND memory architecture in which a floating gate device is used as a select gate. A first positive pulse voltage having a ramp-rate characteristic on its leading edge is applied to the drain of the floating gate device during the read operation. Simultaneously, a second positive pulse voltage is applied to the control gate of the floating gate device during the read operation so as to overlap the first positive pulse voltage.
