摘要: A novel electron injection scheme for flash memory is proposed, where band-to-band tunneling induced hot electrons (BBHE) are employed in a P-channel cell. This proposed method ensures the realization of high program efficiency, scalability and hot-hole-injection-free operation. We also demonstrate an application to DINOR (DIvided bit-line NOR) An ultra-high-speed programming 60 nsec/Byte can be achieved with leakage current less than 1 mA by utilizing 512 Byte parallel programming. new shown most promising low-voltage, high-performance high-reliability 64 Mbits beyond.
