Method for programming a memory device suitable to minimize the lateral coupling effects between memory cells

摘要

A method programs a memory device that includes at least one memory cell matrix. The programming method the steps of: erasing the memory cells; soft programming the memory cells; and complete programming of a group of such memory cells each of them storing its own logic value. Advantageously, the first complete programming step of a group of such memory cells involves cells belonging to a block (A) of the matrix being electrically insulated from the rest of the matrix. A memory device suitable to implement the proposed method is also described.
