摘要： A programming method for a PMOS multi-time programmable (MTP) flash memory device biases the select gate transistor to a constant drain current level and sweeps the control gate bias voltage from a low voltage level to a high voltage level while maintaining the cell current around a predetermined cell current limit level. In this manner, the PMOS MTP flash memory device can achieve low power and high speed program using hot carrier injection (HCI). The programming method of the present invention enables multi-bit programming of the PMOS MTP flash memory cells, thereby increasing the programming speed while preserving low power consumption.

摘要： A method includes an erase of a plurality of blocks of memory cells in which the memory cells within a block are simultaneously erased. The erase of each block of the plurality of blocks is performed using an erase pulse applied multiple times. The erase pulse is applied to the plurality of blocks in parallel. An erase verify is performed after each application of the erase pulse. After a number applications of the erase pulse, it is determined if a condition comprising one of a group consisting of any memory cell has been more erased than a first predetermined amount and any memory cell has been erased less than a second predetermined amount has been met. If the condition has been met, erasing is continued by applying the erase pulse to the block having the memory cell with the condition independently of the other blocks of the plurality of blocks.

摘要： A programming process evaluates NAND strings of a block to detect a defective NAND string, e.g., a NAND string with a defective storage element. Status bits can be stored which identify the defective NAND string. Original data which is to be written in the NAND string is modified so that programming of the defective NAND string does not occur. For example, a bit of write data which requires a storage element in the defective NAND string to be programmed to a higher data state is modified (e.g., flipped) so that no programming of the storage element is required. Subsequently, when a read operation is performed, the flipped bits are flipped back to their original value, such as by using error correction code decoding. In an erase process, a count of defective NAND strings is made and used to adjust a pass condition of a verify test.

摘要： Various aspects of a nonvolatile memory have an improved erase suspend procedure. A bias arrangement is applied to word lines of an erase sector undergoing an erase procedure interrupted by an erase suspend procedure. As a result, another operation performed during erase suspend, such as a read operation or program operation, has more accurate results due to decreased leakage current from any over-erased nonvolatile memory cells of the erase sector.

摘要： A NAND cell unit includes memory cells which are connected in series. An erase operation is effected on all memory cells. Then, a soft-program voltage, which is opposite in polarity to the erase voltage applied in an erase operation, is applied to all memory cells, thereby setting all memory cells out of an over-erased state. Thereafter, a program voltage of 20V is applied to the control gate of a selected memory cell, 0V is applied to the control gates of the two memory cells provided adjacent to the selected memory cell, and 11V is applied to the control gates of the remaining memory cells. Data is thereby programmed into the selected memory cell. The time for which the program voltage is applied to the selected memory cell is adjusted in accordance with the data to be programmed into the selected memory cell. Hence, data “0” can be correctly programmed into the selected memory cell, multi-value data can be read from any selected memory cell at high speed.
