    摘要: A method for performing an erase operation is disclosed in a non-volatile memory having a plurality of memory cells. At least one memory cell is programmed having a threshold voltage level in a first region before programming, and after programming the memory cell has a threshold voltage level in a second region, wherein the second region is higher in threshold voltage than the fist region. The erasing operation implements a programming of memory bits that can inject negative charge carriers or electrons into a memory cell instead of using the conventional technique of injecting hot holes into the memory cell. This can avoid room temperature drift and charge loss caused by hot hole injection.

    摘要: The present invention provides a novel method in altering the sequence of multi-level-cell programming in a multi-bit-cell of a nitride trapping memory cell that reduces or eliminates voltage threshold shifts between program steps while avoiding the suppression in the duration of a read window caused by a complementary bit disturbance. In a first embodiment, the present invention programs the multi-level cell in a multi-bit-cell having four bits in the following order: programming a third program level (level3), programming a first program level (level1) and a second program level (level2) to level 1, and programming the second program level from the first program level. In a second embodiment, the present invention programs the multi-level cell in the multi-bit-cell having four bits in the following order: programming a third program level (level3), programming a second program level (level2), and programming a first program level (level1).

    摘要: A memory and a method applied in one program command for the memory are provided. The memory includes a buffer and at least one program unit. The method includes the following steps. First, enter the program command to the memory. Next, enter user data to the buffer. Read the data of the program unit. Determine whether the user data fill the buffer. Fill the part of the buffer unoccupied by the user data with the data of the program unit if the user data do not fill the buffer. Erase the program unit if the program unit is not empty. Finally, program the data of the buffer into the program unit.
