Abstract

See full text

A method and structure for preventing over erasure in non-volatile memory cells uses simultaneous erase and program current injections which offset one another. These currents come from two separate injection points within the non-volatile memory transistor and are dominant at different points during the erase operation. The first occurring current erases the non-volatile device and the second prevents over erasure.
