Abstract

See full text

A flash memory cell comprises a gate, a drain, a source, a floating gate, and a control gate. The flash memory cell is capable of being programmed by inducing a voltage drop of between about four volts and six volts across a deep-depletion region by applying a first voltage to the gate, a second voltage to the drain, and a third voltage to the source. During a programming operation, the channel current is approximately zero, and the first voltage is ramped at a rate proportional to the injection current.
