摘要:
A semiconductor memory array and methods therefor is provided herein comprising a substrate; a plurality of memory cell field effect transistors formed on said substrate and being arranged thereon into rows and columns of transistors, each transistor includes a channel region interposed between drain and source regions, and overlaid by a control gate region; a plurality of first diffused elongated regions formed within said substrate that electrically connect in common the drain regions of transistors in respective columns; a plurality of second diffused elongated regions formed within said substrate that electrically connect in common the source regions of transistors in respective columns; and a plurality of elongated conductive line formed over said substrate that electrically connect in common the control gate regions of transistors in respective rows.
摘要:
Disclosed is a flash EEPROM cell needing only a 5 volt external source using an on-chip voltage multiplier circuit to provide high voltages necessary to effect Fowler-Nordheim tunneling during both the program and erase modes. Properties of dielectric layers between a floating gate and a control gate and between the floating gate and a drain region differ to facilitate programming and erasing of the floating gate. Also disclosed is a method for producing a flash EEPROM cell by forming the insulative layer between a floating gate and a control gate to have a capacitance lower than the capacitance of the insulating layer between the floating gate and a drain region.
