    摘要: A method for erasing an electrically programmable and erasable non-volatile memory cell having a control electrode, an electrically-insulated electrode and a first electrode. The method provides for coupling the control electrode to a first voltage supply and coupling the first electrode to a second voltage supply. The first voltage supply and the second voltage supply are suitable to cause tunneling of electric charges between the electrically-insulated electrode and the first electrode. The method also provides for a constant current to flow between the second voltage supply and the first electrode of the memory cell for at least part of an erasing time of the memory cell, the constant current having a prescribed value.

    摘要: A process for simultaneously fabricating a flash-EEPROM memory and circuit transistors using a DPCC process. A first polysilicon layer is not removed from the circuit area, and the gate regions of a circuit transistors are formed by shorting first and second polysilicon layers. A thin tunnel oxide layer of the memory cells is formed using the same mask provided for implanting boron into the cell area of the substrate. Following implantation and without removing the mask, the gate oxide formed previously over the whole surface of the wafer is removed from the cell area; the boron implant mask is removed; and tunnel oxidation is performed to increase the thickness of the tunnel oxide by a desired amount, and to slightly increase the thickness of the oxide in the transistor area.
