    摘要: A memory array is characterized by a threshold definition, which includes threshold voltage ranges representing data values stored by a part of the memory array, and a set of sense windows separating the threshold voltage ranges. The threshold definition is varied, responsive to at least one of program operations and erase operations. Such operations change a distribution of the data values stored in the memory group.

    摘要: The storage layer such as a nitride layer of a nonvolatile memory cell has two storage parts storing separately addressable data, typically respectively proximate to the source terminal and the drain terminal. The applied drain voltage while sensing the data of one of the storage parts depends on the data stored at the other storage part. If the data stored at the other storage part is represented by a threshold voltage exceeding a minimum threshold voltage, then the applied drain voltage is raised. This technology is useful in read operations and program verify operations to widen the threshold voltage window.

    摘要: A memory and an operating method thereof are provided therein. When searching a boundary of a threshold voltage distribution of the memory, data errors resulted from tail bits of the memory would be corrected. Therefore, a sensing window could be broader, and the boundary of the threshold voltage distribution could be determined precisely.
