摘要: Memory devices, methods for programming sense flags, methods for sensing flags, and memory systems are disclosed. In one such memory device, the odd bit lines of a flag memory cell array are connected with a short circuit to a dynamic data cache. The even bit lines of the flag memory cell array are disconnected from the dynamic data cache. When an even page of a main memory cell array is read, the odd flag memory cells, comprising flag data, are read at the same time so that it can be determined whether the odd page of the main memory cell array has been programmed. If the flag data indicates that the odd page has not been programmed, threshold voltage windows can be adjusted to determine the states of the sensed even memory cell page.

摘要: A metal oxide semiconductor varactor may be formed with HALO implants regions having an opposite polarity from the polarity of the well of the varactor. The HALO implant regions can be angled away from the source and drain. The HALO implant regions can stop the depletion from continuing as the bias voltage applied to the gate continues to increase. Stopping that depletion can create a constant capacitance when the varactor is in a depletion bias.

摘要: A memory device and a method to prevent or reduce program disturb by isolating P-wells of strings in a non-volatile memory array. During a program operation, the isolated P-wells may be coupled to corresponding bitlines, which may be selected or inhibited, and may be at different voltages.

摘要: An improvement to a process for manufacturing complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices on a monolithic substrate, where the improved process forms nonvolatile memory devices and programmable logic devices. The improvement includes exposing gate electrodes of a selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices at a point in the process where the gate electrodes have been previously covered by a protective material layer. A capacitive material layer is deposited on the monolithic substrate, such that it contacts the exposed gate electrodes of the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices. A top electrode material layer is deposited on the monolithic substrate, such that the top electrode material layer contacts the capacitive material layer in a region overlying the exposed gate electrodes of the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices. The top electrode material layer and the capacitive material layer are removed to substantially the level of the upper surface of the protective material layer, thereby leaving the top electrode layer and the capacitive material layer overlying the gate electrodes for the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices. In this manner, capacitors are formed from the top electrode material layer, the capacitive material layer, and the gate electrodes of the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices. The improved process further includes forming nonvolatile memory devices from the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices, and forming logic devices of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices that are not included in the selected portion of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices. Fuses are formed in associated with a portion of the nonvolatile memory devices to form read only memory devices of the fused portion of the nonvolatile memory devices.
