Abstract

The invention provides a disposable programmable memory as well as a programming method and a reading method of the memory. The disposable programmable memory at least comprises a phase-change storage unit for storing data to be written, a writing unit for writing the data to be written into the phase-change storage unit, a reading unit for reading data stored in the phase-change storage unit, a read reference unit for providing a comparing object when the data are read by the reading unit, an offset unit for providing clamp voltage for the phase-change storage unit when the reading unit reads. The disposable programmable memory has the beneficial effects that the disposable non-reversible operation to the phase-change storage unit is achieved through a simple periphery circuit, so that the disposable programmable property is achieved, the area occupied by the memory is reduced to the maximum extent, and the application cost is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of design and manufacture of a non-volatile memory, in particular to a one-time programmable memory composed of a phase-change memory unit and a programming method and a reading method thereof. Background technique [0002] One-time programmable memory (OTP) is a non-volatile memory device that retains information even when power is removed. One-time programmable memory can provide flexible and low-cost solutions for circuits, so it has been widely used in various circuits. At present, there are various structures and methods to realize the OTP function, among which the OTP memory adopting the transistor structure and changing the threshold voltage of the transistor by means of voltage coupling is the mainstream OTP memory. Due to the technical node scaling problem of OTP memory based on floating gate structure to store charges, such as NAND flash memory and NOR flash memory, the limited life cycle will bec...
