Nonvolatile memory cell, operating method of the same and nonvolatile memory array

摘要

The present invention relates to a nonvolatile memory cell and/or array and a method of operating the same high integrated density nonvolatile memory cell enabling high integration density, low voltage programming and/or high speed programming, a method of programming same and a nonvolatile memory array. A p-well 101 is formed in a surface of a substrate 10 and a channel forming semiconductor region 110 is defined in a surface of the p-well 101 and separated by a first n+ region 121 and a second n+ region 122. A carrier-supplying portion (CS: carrier supply) 111 is formed coming into contact with the first n+ region 121 and a carrier-acceleration-injection portion 112 (AI: acceleration and injection) is in contact with the second n+ region 122 in the channel forming semiconductor region 110 wherein the carrier-supplying portion 111 and carrier-acceleration-injection portion 112 are in contact with each other.
