Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microelectronics technology, and in particular to an isolated SONOS pFLASH switch unit structure. Background Technology

[0002] With major projects in aerospace, electronic warfare, and communications requiring electronic systems to develop towards multi-functionality, high speed, miniaturization, and low power consumption, the demand for highly reliable and radiation-resistant programmable logic devices is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] FLASH switching units are the basic building blocks for reconfigurable FLASH programmable logic devices and their cores. Compared to SRAM and antifuse switching units, FLASH switching units offer advantages such as power-on operation, strong single-event immunity, and reconfigurability. FLASH switching units include floating-gate (FG) FLASH switching units and charge-trapping (CP) FLASH switching units. Floating-gate FLASH switching units store charge through a floating gate, resulting in poor charge retention. Furthermore, the feature size of floating-gate devices is difficult to shrink, limiting their development towards process nodes below 65nm. Summary of the Invention

[0016] This invention provides an isolated SONOS pFLASH switch unit structure, employing an indirect coupling structure. The SONOS pFLASH programming / erasing transistor uses a band-to-band tunneling programming method and a Fowler-Nordheim erasing method to achieve its potential transfer and potential blocking functions, respectively. This reduces tunnel oxide layer damage, avoids abnormal phenomena such as device failure due to over-erasure, and improves its durability. The isolated SONOS pFLASH switch unit structure of this invention transfers potential to the gate terminal of the signal transmission transistor through the SONOS pFLASH programming / erasing transistor, controlling the on / off state of the signal transmission transistor. Simultaneously, the isolation transistor effectively isolates the signal transmission transistor from the SONOS pFLASH programming / erasing transistor, enhancing its anti-interference capability. The SONOS pFLASH transistor, as the programming / erasing transistor, has a long charge retention life, further enhancing the reliability of the switch unit. Furthermore, its signal transmission transistor can be a low-voltage MOSFET, effectively improving its driving capability and increasing the speed of control signal transmission. The feature size of SONOS pFLASH switch units can be further reduced, thereby enabling the fabrication of low-power, high-speed, high-reliability, and highly integrated FLASH programmable logic devices.
