Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 5 It is a schematic circuit diagram of post-erasing processing of a flash memory array according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the storage array 20 has a plurality of storage units 22A, 22B, 22C, and 22D, where a flash memory unit is taken as an example. The structure and structure represented by each part of the flash memory unit 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D in the circuit symbol figure 2 are the same and will not be repeated here. The flash memory cell 22A has a control gate 122 , a floating gate 124 , a drain 126 and a source 128 .

[0023] The drain voltage range of the drain power supply device 24 supplied to the flash memory units 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D is 2.5V-5V, and the source is coupled to a constant current supplier 26 for receiving a current of about 100uA-2mA , the current intensity depends on different post-erase processing requirements. In addition, the control gate of the flash memory unit according to the embodiment of the present i...

Abstract

The regulator suitable for memory array with several flash memory units, each of which includes one control grid, one floating grid, one source and one drain. The regulator includes one drain power source, constant current source and control grid source. The drain power source provides one positive voltage to the drain of the flash memory unit, the constant current source provides a source current to the source of the flash memory unit, and the control grid source provides a gradually raised grid voltage to the control grid of the flash memory unit to control the source current to the flashmemory unit and gradually change the critical voltage value of the flash memory unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flash memory array post-erasing adjustment device and method, in particular to a flash memory array post-erasing adjustment device and method for gradually increasing the control gate voltage for post-erasing processing. Background technique [0002] The programming and erasing processing methods of traditional flash memory cells are mainly realized by using the channel hot electron effect (channel hot electron effect) in programming, that is, using the positive voltage coupled to the floating gate and the current between the channel below it. The voltage difference establishes an electric field of sufficient strength to allow electrons to obtain sufficient kinetic energy (that is, hot electrons) to penetrate the oxide layer and to be trapped in the floating gate. Specifically, since the presence or absence of electrons in the floating gate can affect whether the channel below it is turned on or not, each memory cell can be p...
