    摘要: Methods of erasing flash memory cells are provided that improve erase cycling speed and reliability. One embodiment comprises interactively applying a stepped or ramped drain voltage pattern to a drain of the memory cells and a pulsed gate voltage pattern to a gate of the memory cells for a predetermined number of gate pulses or until all the memory cells are erased. In another embodiment, an erase bias circuit is provided for erasing a sector of flash memory cells, the circuit comprising row and column decoders that selects wordline rows and columns of cells, respectively, a supply bias arrangement that provides source and drain supply voltages for the sector, and a patterned pulse bias arrangement configured to provide a pulsed gate voltage pattern to gates of the cells selected by the row decoder and a drain voltage pattern to the drains of the cells selected by the column decoder.

    摘要: A process is described for fabricating an integrated circuit memory in a semiconductor substrate. In the substrate, a first well is formed by introduction of dopant opposite to conductivity of the substrate. Within the first well a second well is formed of conductivity type matching the substrate. The memory cells are fabricated in the second well and have source and drain regions opposite the conductivity type substrate. Each of the first and second wells also includes a region of corresponding conductivity type to enable separate electrical connections to be made to each of the wells.

    摘要: Novel fabrication methods implement the use of dummy tiles to avoid the effects of in-line charging, ESD events, and such charge effects in the formation of a memory device region region. One method involves forming at least a portion of a memory core array upon a semiconductor substrate that involves forming STI structures in the substrate substantially surrounding a memory device region region within the array. An oxide layer is formed over the substrate in the memory device region region and over the STI's, wherein an inner section of the oxide layer formed over the memory device region region is thicker than an outer section of the oxide layer formed over the STI's. A first polysilicon layer is then formed over the inner and outer sections comprising one or more dummy tiles formed over one or more outer sections and electrically connected to at least one inner section.
