Touch removal to reduce the counting unit sing. · Read the capture layer nitride read-only memory device is relatively thick For example, greater than 3 nanometers and usually about 5 to 9 nanometers to prevent electricity. 13013⁄4 replaces direct wear with 5 16402twf.doc/006, with hot hole injection (btbthh) = two: Said unit. However, 'hot hole injection causes oxide damage, , and the charge in the south start unit is difficult and the increase in the low start unit. In addition, 'attributable to the charge trapped in the charge trapping structure ^ ^ The erasing time must be gradually increased during the stylization and erasing of the loop.) Since the two injection points do not coincide with each other and the two electrons are repelled after the erasing pulse, this charge accumulation occurs. In addition, the magnetic area of the memory-only flash memory device = change (for example, channel length variation), and the erase speed of each cell = 2. This difference in wipe speed results in a large vt distribution of the erased state, i - some early read hard to erase and some cells are over erased. So after many stylization and erase loops, the target starts v t window _, . As the technology continues to scale down, this phenomenon will become more of a nitride-only read-only memory. (IV) The memory cell structure places the material-nitride-oxide layer on the conductive polycrystalline stone and the crystal stone. Between the half bottom. The substrate is a source region that is separated by a base channel region. The flash recording can be performed by bungee sensing or source sensing. For source side sensing, one or more poles face the source area of the unit, to read the specific unit in the 2 columns. Each unit of the conventional floating gate device of the u-body array only stores the 丨 bit, but now a nitride-only memory unit, in which each flash unit of each woven material read-only unit provides 2 bits. The flash cell has an electrical phase 16402 twf.doc/006 ΐΓΐ ΓΓ ΓΓ structure in which the nitride layer is used as a capture material disposed between the top two: moving layers. (10) A closed-pole dielectric in which the 0-layer structure is effectively placed. Can be used in nitride read-only memory.

The nitride-only (5) 5-body unit has a lateral electric field effect on the side different from the erased side. It is estimated that the durability and retention of the nitride read-only array, the lack of wiping ability, leads to the loss of the ring and baking. The side of the nitride-reading memory unit is floating (or connected to the ground), which can be folded to an indeterminate voltage level of 2 cases: 1 volt or 4 volts) 'This leads to the erasing of the array unit ^ This results in a wider Vt distribution after the erase operation. Uncertain changes in the voltage level ^ can result in excessive erasure. On the other hand, if the other side is connected to the "face, then when the bit line bias exceeds the punch-through voltage, the punch-through can cause the pump circuit to collapse. Therefore, during the erase operation of the block, the nitride is read only. Memory cells (some of which are left floating) can result in a lack of uniformity in the voltage level used to erase the nitride-reading cells in the nitride read-only memory array. 3 Technological advances in flash memory devices Need to design a charge trapping flash memory that provides higher packing density and better device scalability. The invention is described for manufacturing a plurality of two-element charges. A method of capturing a charge of a snap cell of a flash memory, wherein each memory cell is formed with a Si-FIN layer, the & side layer having an inverted source and a non-polar region. - each adjacent polylithic gate of the selected polycrystalline silicon in the row memory cell is used to generate an inversion region, acting as a source region or a non-polar region 'for transmitting a required voltage, In each memory The density of the memory cell is preserved in the case where the source region and the drain region of the cell are undoped. The flash memory includes a plurality of multiple 曰 矽 layers crossing a plurality of Si_Fm layers: when in-line memory Selecting a memory unit in the body unit for performing the second type, the first group of memory on the left side of the unit during the erasing, erasing operation or reading operation, and the first unit of the unit Electricity_transfer_,; = right second group of memory cells acts as the transfer gate of the voltage-transfer with the body-body. ~ wear-follow (FN) erase P-pole Fule Noltheim style And in the thermoelectric hole (HH) process for the closed gate of the selected gate=selection, the side> includes including each of the ones in the operating method domain, the unloaded_charge trapping memory array= The source and the immersion region are selected to open the channel for the hot electrons (c: for the privateization, for the selected 8 1301, the 16402twf.doc/006 gate for the hot hole erase and for each In terms of the operation steps, select the pendulum; select, the pole performs the reading operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to Figure 1A, there is shown a block diagram showing a structure (10) having a facet flash cell structure. The junction == 15 16402 twf.doc / 006 polycrystalline germanium (or polysilicon gate) layer no, which covers the oxide-nitride-oxide (germanium) film 120, with the source region 130 on the left side and the drain region 140 on the right side . The tantalum film 120 provides a charge trapping structure for a two bit operation in which the first bit is on the left side and the second bit is on the right side. The Si-FIN layer 150 extends in a direction perpendicular to the polycrystalline layer 110. The source region 130 and the gate region 140 are not interchanged, that is, there are no implants in the source region 130 and the gate region 140. Specifically, structure 100 uses adjacent polysilicon gates 11A to create an inversion region to serve as a source/drain region ® domain for delivering the desired voltage. The source/drain regions are limited to smaller regions for inversion, which results in smaller cell sizes and higher scalability.

The majority of the rows of polysilicon layers 170, 171, 172, and 173 are disposed substantially orthogonal to the plurality of columns of Si-FIN layers 180, 181, 182, 183, and 184. One of the mothers in the si_piN layer extends over a plurality of polycrystalline layers. For example, the 180 layers extend over the polysilicon layer 170, the polysilicon layer 171, the polysilicon layer 172, and the polycrystalline layer 173. The i-pole region 140 of Figure 1A is shown in Figure 1B, wherein a portion of the polycrystalline layer 170 intersects the Si_FlN^18. The charge trapping flash cell structure 100 is capable of performing a two bit operation, and the illustrative first type relates to FN erasing and thermoelectric hole staging, and illustrates the cavity erasing and channel hot electron stylization. There are two types: the method, the type of interpolation with FN erasure and thermoelectric hole stylization. In the brother-method, two bits on both sides of the charge trapping unit are I301U2 15 16402twf.doc/006 = status (FN wears, electrons are applied at the nitride thin cell voltage, the selected "capture" Will be about zero volts and about i 5 volts ==, with the high side of the high Vt. When the two sides of the charge trapping unit are respectively: in the method - the hole is injected into the nitride film (ie, using the hot line) Stylized. When the right side of the ~^= catching_) is respectively entered into the leftmost and rightmost of the selected unit, the volt: is applied to the side of the formula. When respectively, about zero volts = the one with the low Vt The leftmost and rightmost Japanese of the unit selected by the process, a voltage of Shida special is applied to the side of the formula. π σ is taken from the unprocessed line with Vt; heat =: and the channel hot electron element The two bits on both sides of the wiper (four) t;; square charge charge single and about zero volts voltage applied to the selected; a field ^ will be about 15 volts, read with low Vt ^ right eight, early 70 The voltage applied to the left end and the far right end is applied to the selected field knife and will be about zero volts and about 1.5 volts; there is ... left;:: the most r: r and r: Into the nitride film] If, for example, in the channel thermoelectric capture unit on one side of the unit: into: program: then, the charge is trapped and about zero volts to the return of the evil. When respectively At about the right end of the 1.5, when reading the leftmost & most significant _ of the cell selected by the & port, the leftmost >015 16402twf.doc/006 end and the rightmost end, the read has a low Vt The unprogrammed side. In Figures 2A-2C, circuit diagrams illustrating the first method of operation of the erase operation 200, the stylization operation 240, and the read operation 260 of the charge trapping flash memory array 160, respectively, are shown. In this first method of operation, the method is performed in the following manner: using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling to erase memory cells; using a hot hole to enter The memory unit is programmed; and the memory unit is read. As shown in FIG. 2A, if the gate 203 is to be erased, the remaining gate unit, that is, the gate 201 and the gate 202 , gate 204, gate 205, gate 206 and gate 207 all serve to transmit electricity The transfer gate of the voltage. The term "gate" in this specification is also referred to as "gate cell,", or "gate in charge trapping unit". The gate unit, ie the gate 2〇 1. Gate 202, gate 204, gate 2〇5, gate 2〇6, and gate 2〇7 charge f the second voltage level, for example 10 volts, and charge the gate 2〇3 unit to 咼A second voltage level, such as 20 volts, is used to erase the gate 203 cell using FN tunneling. The Si_FIN layer 21 一直 extends from the left side of the gate 2〇1 to the right side of the gate 207; extends through the gate 2 〇 1, gate pole, pole 203, gate 204, gate 205, pole 206 and gate 2〇7. The gate 2〇1, the gate 20j, the interpole 203, the interpole 2〇4, the interpole 2〇5, the closed electrode and the interpole 207 5 are again placed on the oxide layer 22〇±. Shi Xi 23〇 is deeply doped adjacent to the right side of the closed-pole technique and is disposed above the oxide layer 22〇. After the erase operation, the sequence proceeds to the stylization operation 240, using the 孰 财 财 人 电荷 电荷 电荷 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Memory single 12 1301319 P940015 16402twf.doc/006 yuan 'where the first position is on the left side and the second position is on the right side. The stylization of the gate 203 using thermowell injection is applied to the right side 203-r of the gate 203. With respect to the left side 2034 of the gate 203, it is set to about zero volts, and the right side 203-r of the gate 203 has a higher voltage potential, which is set to about 5 volts. A voltage difference of 5 volts between the right side 203-r and the left side 203-1 produces a hot hole condition on the right side, which results in storage in the nitride layer associated with the gate 2〇3.

或者,可將使用熱電洞注入對閘極2〇3進行的程式化 應用到閘極203的左側203-1。相對於閘極2〇3的右側 203-r ’其没疋為約零伏特,閘極203的左側203—1具有較 间電壓電位,其設定為約5伏特。左側203-1與右側2〇3-r 之間的5伏特的電壓差在左側上產生熱電洞,這導致與閘 極203單元相關的氮化物層中的電荷儲存。因此,可將使 用熱電洞注入對閘極203進行的程式化應用到閘極2〇3的 右側203-r或左側203-1。Alternatively, the stylization of the gate 2〇3 using the thermal hole injection can be applied to the left side 203-1 of the gate 203. The right side 203-r' of the gate 2〇3 is not about zero volts, and the left side 203-1 of the gate 203 has a relatively high voltage potential, which is set to about 5 volts. A voltage difference of 5 volts between the left side 203-1 and the right side 2〇3-r creates a thermoelectric hole on the left side, which results in charge storage in the nitride layer associated with the gate 203 cell. Therefore, the stylization of the gate 203 using the hot hole injection can be applied to the right side 203-r or the left side 203-1 of the gate 2〇3.
