摘要: There is provided a method of programming a non-volatile memory which can solve the problem of the data write system of the existing flash memory that a load capacitance of bit lines becomes large, the time required by the bit lines to reach the predetermined potential becomes longer, thereby the time required for data write operation becomes longer and power consumption also becomes large because the more the memory capacitance of memory array increases, the longer the length of bit lines becomes and the more the number of bit lines increases. In the non-volatile memory of the invention comprising the AND type memory array in which a plurality of memory cells are connected in parallel between the local bit lines and local drain lines, the local drain lines are precharged by supplying thereto a comparatively higher voltage from the common drain line side (opposite side of the main bit lines), the main bit lines are selectively precharged by applying thereto the voltage of 0V or a comparatively small voltage depending on the write data and thereafter a drain current is applied only to the selected memory cells to which data is written by applying the write voltage to the word lines in order to implant the hot electrons to the floating gate.

摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of realizing optimized erasing operation in a memory array configuration in which a plurality of pages correspond to and are connected to each of a plurality of word lines and higher speed of the erasing operation. In a flash memory, the erasing operation is performed by an erasing method of erasing a plurality of pages arbitrarily selected in a lump. In a two-page erasing mode, page erasure, page pre-erasure verification, page rewriting process, page pre-rewriting verification, and page upper end determining process are performed in order. The method realizes, particularly, (1) suppression of the number of erase verification times to the minimum by performing erase verification only on arbitrary one even-numbered or odd-numbered page in the pages to be erased in consideration of variations in the erasing characteristic, and (2) prevention of erroneous determination of the upper end of erasure since it is unnecessary to set a memory cell to be rewritten every rewrite verification by continuously executing the rewriting process page by page.

摘要: This is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of raising the speed of write operation of Y access circuits in a 1×sense latch circuit+2×SRAM configuration. In a multi-value flash memory, in a mode of writing from the lower voltage side, writing and erratic determination are performed after data are transferred from SRAMs to a sense latch circuit for “10” and “00” distributions; after the data transfer for “01” distribution, writing is done; after the data transfer for “11” distribution word disturb determination is done; and simplified upper limit determination is done in this sequence. In particular by (1) writing from the lower voltage side of the threshold voltage distribution in the multi-value memory and (2) consecutive application of “write processing” and “upper limit determination processing” to each threshold voltage distribution, after the end of write processing for “10” and “00” distribution, since the threshold voltages of all the memory cells are lower than the upper limit determination voltages of the “10” and “00” distributions, no transfer of write data is needed in upper limit determination processing because other threshold voltage distributions are not masked.
摘要翻译: 这是一种非易失性半导体存储器件,其能够以1倍锁存电路+ 2xSRAM配置提高Y个存取电路的写入操作速度。 在多值闪速存储器中,在从低电压侧进行写入的情况下,在数据从SRAM向“10”,“00”分布的感测锁存电路进行数据的写入和不稳定判定之后, 在“01”分发数据传输之后,写入完成; 在数据传输“11”分配字干扰确定完成后; 并且在该顺序中进行简化的上限确定。 特别是通过(1)从多值存储器中的阈值电压分布的低电压侧写入,以及(2)在每个阈值电压分布之后连续施加“写入处理”和“上限确定处理” 对于“10”和“00”分配的写入处理,由于所有存储单元的阈值电压都低于“10”和“00”分布的上限确定电压,所以上层不需要写入数据传输 因为其他阈值电压分布未被屏蔽,所以限制确定处理。
