Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a semiconductor integrated circuit device, and in particular relates to an EEPROM storage array structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Electrically erasable programmable non-volatile memory (EEPROM) is a type of non-volatile memory, which is often used in integrated circuits. Its advantage is that it can save data even when the power supply is stopped. [0003] Such as figure 1 , The existing EEPROM uses polysilicon floating gate to store charge, 1 is the substrate, 2 is the tunnel oxide layer, 3 is the floating gate, 4 is the drain, 4'is the source, 5 is the interlayer insulating layer, and 6 is the control The gate, 7 is the field oxygen region between the left and right transistors. The structure of the EEPROM is to arrange the floating gate 3 on which the charge is accumulated between the control gate 6 and the tunnel oxide layer 2. If a high voltage is applied in the positive direction betwe...

Problems solved by technology

For example, when there is more data to be erased and written at one time or the load current is large, more memory cells are selected, and when the current in each selected memory cell is output through this metal layer at the same time, a large voltage drop will occur, resulting in a read operation. The current is reduced, which affects the speed of the read operation, and even causes the read operation to be inaccurate
