Before method of the present invention is described in detail in detail, earlier with the physical characteristic explanation relevant that non-volatile memory cells had with method of the present invention as after.Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the generalized section of non-volatile memory cells 40 of the present invention.Non-volatile memory cells 40 comprises that a P type semiconductor substrate 42, a trap 44 are formed on the P type semiconductor substrate 42, one first doped region 46, one second doped region 48, one the 3rd doped region 50, a control grid 52, an and floating grid 54.Trap 44, first doped region 46, second doped region 48 and control grid 52 common formation one first MOS transistor 56, and trap 44, second doped region 48, the 3rd doped region 50 and floating grid 54 common one second MOS transistor 58 that form.Because the data Writing condition of non-volatile memory cells 40 of the present invention and the data Writing condition and the process of process and known non-volatile memory cells 10 are identical, so repeat no more in this.
Trap 44 can be a P type trap or a N type trap, if trap 44 is a N type trap, then first doped region 46, second doped region 48 and the 3rd doped region 50 are all a p +Doped region, and N type trap 44, first doped region 46, second doped region 48 and the control grid 52 common PMOS transistors that form, then common another PMOS transistor that forms of N type trap 44, second doped region 48, the 3rd doped region 50 and floating grid 54; Otherwise if trap 44 is a P type trap, then first doped region 46, second doped region 48 and the 3rd doped region are all a n +Doped region, and P type trap 44, first doped region 46, second doped region 48 and the control grid 52 common nmos pass transistors that form, then common another nmos pass transistor that forms of P type trap 44, second doped region 48, the 3rd doped region 50 and floating grid 54.
When floating grid 54 belows of first MOS transistor, 56 conductings of non-volatile memory cells 40 and second MOS transistor 58 because of channel hot electron effect (channel hot electron effect) when producing a grid current I, the floating grid 54 of second MOS transistor 58 can produce a coupled voltages V f, coupled voltages V fSize be relevant to the voltage of trap 44, second doped region 48, the 3rd doped region 50 and control grid 52 that is V fFwV w+ α FsV s+ α FdV d+ α FcV c, V wherein wBe the voltage of trap 44, voltage, the V that vs is second doped region 48 dBe voltage, the V of the 3rd doped region 50 cThen be the voltage of control grid 52, and α Fw, α Fs, α Fd, and α FcBe all coupling coefficient (couplingratio).As its name suggests, coupling coefficient is exactly V w, V s, V d, and V cRespectively to V fThe degree of coupling, just V w, V s, V d, and V cRespectively to V fThe magnitude of voltage that is provided.
