    摘要: On a channel region enclosed by a pair of diffusion layers 13A, 13B, a first insulating layer 15, a charge accumulative layer 17, and a second insulating layer 19 are stacked up in this order, and on the second insulating layer 19, two control gate layers 21A, 21B spaced across a gap G1 are disposed in the middle of the channel width direction. The charge accumulative layer 17 has discrete charge traps, and, accordingly, movement of charge in the layer is limited. In the charge accumulative layer 17, the charges injected depend on the writing voltage applied in control gate layers 21A, 21B and can be localized beneath the control gate layers 21A, 21B through which a writing voltage is applied. The presence or absence of charges can be controlled in every charge accumulative region beneath the control gate layers 21A, 21B, so that multi-value storage in the memory cell can be realized.

    摘要: A process for a memory transistor (e.g. flash-EEPROM cell), which includes forming an isolation-spacer between a control gate and an erase line of over a floating gate by first growing a thin thermal oxide to be in contact with the first sidewall of control gate and thereafter depositing fluorinated-TEOS or tetramethylsilane (TMS) based LPCVD oxide a low temperature of about 250 degrees centigrade. The choice of deposited have lower dielectric constant than that of thermal silicon dioxide which lowers the parasitic capacitance between word lines and erase lines and thereby increases speed performances. The process prevents the formation of a poly-oxide beak under the control gate, thereby the first insulator between the control gate and the floating gate has a uniform thickness. The transistor programs efficiently, is reliable, has low manufacture cost and is physically and electrically down scalable.

    摘要: The invention enables random read and write operations into cells in an array that contains connections from the memory cells that include at least one field effect transistor (FET transistor) to embedded bit line segments which are selectively isolatable and selectively expandable to achieve compactness of number of cell per unit area. In a given segment of the array a first select transistor is connected between a given embedded bit line segment and a first access bit line which functions as a path from a first reference voltage to the drain of a first FET memory transistor set when the first select transistor is turned off, and wherein the first access bit line functions as a path from the source of a second FET memory transistor set to a second reference voltage when the first select transistor is turned on. A second select transistor connected between the embedded bit line segment and a second bit line which functions as a path from said first reference voltage to the drain of a second Memory FET set when the second select transistor is turned off, and wherein said second bit line functions as a path from the source of the first Memory FET set to a second reference voltage when said first select transistor is turned on. The invention also reduces the diffusion isolation spacing between bit-lines by using shield transistors.
