    摘要: Erasure methods for a nonvolatile memory cell that includes a gate electrode on a substrate, source and drain regions in the substrate at respective sides of the gate electrode, and a charge storage layer interposed between the gate electrode and the substrate. A nonzero first voltage is applied to the source region starting at a first time. While continuing to apply the first nonzero voltage to the source region, a second voltage having an opposite polarity to the first voltage is applied to the gate electrode starting at a second time later than the first time. The second voltage may increase in magnitude, e.g., stepwise, linearly and/or along a curve, after the second time.

    摘要: A word line driving circuit, which may include a read voltage generator and a word line driver. The read voltage generator may precharge a clamp capacitor with a power supply voltage to stably generate a read voltage in response to a read command. A capacitance of the clamp capacitor may be varied to compensate for a fluctuation of a power supply voltage level. The word line driver may distribute electric charges precharged in the clamp capacitor to a word line in response to a word line selecting signal. Therefore, the word line driving circuit may reduce unnecessary power consumption in a standby mode by operating the word line rapidly with charge sharing in a read mode.

    摘要: Provided are a program control circuit for flash memory devices and a control method utilizing such a circuit for controlling the bit line voltage level during programming operations for flash memory devices that include memory cells arranged in the form of a matrix, in which each of the memory cells is connected to a word line, a bit line, and a source line and which provides a program current to the bit line. The program control circuit includes a voltage level sensing control portion, a switching control portion, a current sink and a switching circuit. The voltage level sensing control portion is enabled or disabled in response to a first program control signal and compares the voltage of a bit line connected to a memory cell being programmed with a reference voltage and outputs a voltage control signal corresponding to the result of the comparison. The switching control portion outputs a switching bias signal in response to the voltage control signal and a second program control signal. The current sink provides a predetermined current to a ground voltage in response to a reference bias signal. The switching circuit, which is connected between the bit line and the current sink, is turned on or off in response to the switching bias signal.
