Method for programming a charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell by raised-Vs channel initialed secondary electron injection (CHISEL)

摘要

A raised-Vs Channel Initialed Secondary Electron Injection is disclosed to program a charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell. The source of the charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell is applied with a positive source voltage, and the drain of the charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell is applied with a positive drain voltage, wherein the positive drain voltage is greater than the positive source voltage. The substrate of the charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell is grounded. A positive gate voltage is applied to the polysilicon gate of the charge-trapping nonvolatile memory cell.
