    摘要: In a flash-EEPROM array, the cells in each row are grouped into pairs connected to the same diffused source line and to two different diffused bit lines, and the adjacent pairs of cells are spaced so that, in each row, only one cell is connected to a respective diffused bit line. The array presents global bit lines in the form of metal lines, and each connected to a plurality of diffused local bit lines, at least one for each sector. For each sector and each global bit line, there are provided two diffused local bit lines connected to the same respective global bit line by selection transistors so that only one local bit line is biased each time.

    摘要: A non-volatile integrated device having first and second dimensionally different polysilicon gate layers separated by an oxide layer for hot-carrier reliability. More specifically, the oxide and second polysilicon gate layer are selectively etched to form a second gate region over the first polysilicon gate layer that electrically contacts the first polysilicon gate in one direction and is isolated by the oxide in the other direction. Insulating sidewalls are formed over the first polysilicon gate layer regions that are not electrically contacted by the second gate layer to help isolate the second polysilicon gate and form an LDD structure within the substrate for the device.

    摘要: A method for writing cells in a memory which reduces errors caused by depleted memory array cells being turned on even when not selected. In the method, nonselected bit lines and nonselected word lines are biased so that the threshold voltage of the nonselected cells increases. In particular, the nonselected bit lines are left floating and the nonselected word lines are set to a zero voltage. Appropriate potentials are applied to the selected word line, selected bit line, and selected source line in order to program the selected cell.
