Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a design method of a radiation-resistant EEPROM storage array. It belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits. Background technique
[0002] As a non-volatile storage device, EEPROM is widely used in the field of aviation and aerospace. However, due to the complexity of the space application environment, storage arrays are often affected by radiation, resulting in key data loss or device failure. How to meet the needs of space applications and improve the radiation resistance of EEPROM has been a research hotspot for many years.
[0003] In the prior art, no additional isolation structure is added between memory cells formed by NMOS transistors, and the cells are isolated by field oxygen in the process. Such as figure 1 As shown, 2 is the active region, 3 is the gate oxide layer, 4 is the gate, and 1 is the field oxygen region between the left and right NMOS transistors. In a normal environment, there is no condu...
