    摘要: A circuit structure for a matrix of EEPROM memory cells, being of a type which comprises a matrix of cells including plural rows and columns, with each row being provided with a word line and a control gate line and each column having a bit line; the bit lines, moreover, are gathered into groups or bytes of simultaneously addressable adjacent lines. Each cell in the matrix incorporates a floating gate transistor which is coupled to a control gate, connected to the control gate line, and is connected serially to a selection transistor; also, the cells of each individual byte share their respective source areas, which areas are structurally independent for each byte and are led to a corresponding source addressing line extending along a matrix column.

    摘要: A method for programming a two-level polysilicon EEPROM memory cell, which cell is implemented in MOS technology on a semiconductor substrate and comprises a floating gate transistor and a further control gate overlying the floating gate with a dielectric layer therebetween, provides for the application of a negative voltage to the control gate during the cell write phase. This enables the voltages being applied across the thin tunnel oxide layer to be distributed so as to reduce the maximum amount of energy of the "holes" and improve the oxide reliability. In addition, by controlling the rise speed of the impulse to the drain region during the write phase, and of the impulse to the control gate during the erase phase, the maximum current flowing through the tunnel oxide can be set and the electric field being applied to the tunnel oxide kept constant, thereby the device life span can be extended.
