Erase and Program Method of Flash Memory Device for Increasing Program Speed of Flash Memory Device
ActiveUS20070058446A1Fail occurrence ratioImproved Threshold Voltage DistributionRead-only memoriesDigital storageVoltage rangeThreshold voltage
The present invention relates to erase and program methods of a flash memory device including MLCs for increasing the program speed. In the erase method according to the present invention, MLCs are pre-programmed so that a voltage range in which threshold voltages of MLCs are distributed can be reduced. Therefore, a fail occurrence ratio can be reduced when erasing MLCs, the threshold voltage distribution of MLCs can be improved and an overall program time can be shortened in a subsequent program operation.

In a non-volatile memory device and methods of forming and operating the same, one memory transistor includes sidewall selection gates covering both sidewalls of a floating gate when the floating gate and a control gate are stacked. The sidewall selection gates are in a spacer form. Since the sidewall selection gates are in a spacer form on the sidewall of the floating gate, the degree of integration of cells can be improved. Additionally, since the side wall selection gates are disposed on both sidewalls of the floating gate, a voltage applied from a bit line and a common source line can be controlled and thus conventional writing / erasing errors can be prevented. Therefore, distribution of threshold voltage can be improved.
