摘要:
Methods for sensing and memory devices are disclosed. One such method for sensing determines a threshold voltage of an n-bit memory cell that is adjacent to an m-bit memory cell to be sensed. A control gate of the m-bit memory cell to be sensed is biased with a sense voltage adjusted responsive to the determined threshold voltage of the n-bit memory cell.

Methods for programming and memory devices are disclosed. One such method for programming includes initially biasing a subset of a plurality of control gates of a string of memory cells with a negative voltage, wherein the subset is less than all of the plurality of control gates of the string. The control gate of a selected memory cell is subsequently biased with a programming voltage during a programming phase.

Devices and methods facilitate memory device operation in all bit line architecture memory devices. In at least one embodiment, memory cells comprising alternating rows are concurrently programmed by row and concurrently sensed by row at a first density whereas memory cells comprising different alternating rows are concurrently programmed by row and concurrently sensed by row at a second density. In at least one additional embodiment, memory cells comprising alternating tiers of memory cells are programmed and sensed by tier at a first density and memory cells comprising different alternating tiers of memory cells are programmed and sensed by tier at a second density.

This disclosure concerns memory cell sensing. One or more methods include determining a data state of a first memory cell coupled to a first data line, determining a data state of a third memory cell coupled to a third data line, transferring determined data of at least one of the first and the third memory cells to a data line control unit corresponding to a second data line to which a second memory cell is coupled, the second data line being adjacent to the first data line and the third data line, and determining a data state of the second memory cell based, at least partially, on the transferred determined data.
摘要:
Thermal oxidation of a peripheral area of a semiconductor substrate is globally restricted with an overlying oxidation resistant layer that is not globally received within the array during formation of a sacrificial oxide layer prior to forming any transistor gate dielectric layer within the array. At least some FLASH field effect transistor gates having floating gate dielectric of a first thickness are formed within the array and at least some non-FLASH field effect transistor gates having gate dielectric of a second thickness are formed within the periphery, with the first and second thicknesses being different. Other aspects and implementations are disclosed.

An efficient method for fabricating dual well type structures uses the same number of masks used in single well type structure fabrication. In a preferred embodiment, the current invention allows low voltage and high voltage n-channel transistors and low voltage and high voltage p-channel transistors to be formed in a single substrate. One mask is used for forming a diffusion well, a second mask for both forming a retrograde well and doping the well to achieve an intermediate threshold voltage in that well, and a third mask for both differentiating the gate oxides for the low voltage devices and doping the threshold voltages to achieve the final threshold voltages.
