Method to prevent disturbances during the erasing phase in a non-volatile memory device

摘要

The invention concerns a method of avoiding disturbance during an erasing steps of an electrically programmable and erasable, semiconductor integrated non-volatile memory device, which comprises a matrix of memory cells divided into sectors. An operation of parallel erasing several sectors of the matrix as well as an operation of verifying the erasing of each sector in the matrix are carried out. <IMAGE>
