Abstract

In a method of measuring a channel boosting voltage, a threshold voltage of a pass disturbance is measured in accordance with change of a pass voltage applied to a selected cell under the condition that the pass voltage having a certain level is provided to a cell not selected of erased cells. Subsequently, a threshold voltage of a program disturbance is measured in accordance with change of the pass voltage applied to the cell not selected under the condition that a program voltage having a certain level is provided to a cell selected of the erased cells. Then, the channel boosting voltage is measured by using a pass bias voltage applied when the threshold voltage of the pass disturbance is identical to that of the program disturbance. As a result, the channel boosting voltage is accurately monitored when a program operation is performed. Accordingly, a program disturbance characteristic may be easily detected, and also yield and fail may be easily analyzed.

In step S219, transmit bias voltage second and be not increased under second voltage condition, adjust the level of the second transmission bias voltage.Particularly, increase the level of the second transmission bias voltage with the step-length of the voltage between 0.1V and the 2.0V.Subsequently, execution in step S211 in step S213, will have the second transmission bias voltage that changes level and be applied to non-selected unit then.Then, in step S217, measure second threshold voltage that programming is disturbed, determine then whether the second transmission bias voltage has increased to second voltage.That is repeatedly execution in step S211 is to S219, till second bias voltage increases to second voltage (that is during the second transmission bias voltage is less than second voltage).
In brief, utilize the second transmission bias voltage that increases to measure second threshold voltage.Yet, can utilize the second transmission bias voltage that reduces to measure second threshold voltage.For example, can utilize and be reduced to second of 1.5V from 14.5V and transmit bias voltage and measure second threshold voltage.
In other words, second voltage as target voltage is 1.5V.In this case, repeatedly execution in step S211 is to S219, till the second transmission bias voltage has second voltage (that is during the second transmission bias voltage is higher than second voltage), so that measure second threshold voltage.
Under the situation that the measurement of second threshold voltage is finished, measure channel boosting voltage as described below.
The process that channel boosting voltage is measured
Fig. 5 is diagram and the view that disturbs the curve relevant with the variations in threshold voltage of programming interference according to transmission.
Referring to figs. 2 and 5, curve A is indicated the variations in threshold voltage by the selected cell of following measurement: the program bias that will have 21V is applied to grid interference so that measurement is programmed of the selected cell of erase unit, and is applied to the grid of non-selected unit with will transmitting bias-variable.In addition, curve B diagram is by the variations in threshold voltage of the selected cell of following measurement: the grid of selected cell that will be applied to erase unit is so that measurement transmission interference with will transmitting bias-variable, and the transmission bias voltage that will have a constant level is applied to the grid of non-selected unit.
In step S221, by with programming disturb relevant curve A detect when provide have with the actual program operation in threshold voltage during the transmission bias voltage of the identical level of the transmission bias voltage that applied, and by disturbing relevant curve B to detect with transmitting to have the transmission bias voltage that threshold voltage was applied of the level identical with the threshold voltage of detection.
Particularly, in C1, detect threshold voltage when the transmission bias voltage with level identical with the transmission bias voltage that applied in the actual program operation is provided by curve A.
For example, the transmission bias voltage in the actual program operation is under the situation of 8.5V, and the threshold voltage of detection is-1V.
In addition, when in the operation of the threshold voltage characteristic that threshold voltage detect to transmit is disturbing be-during 1V (in C2), the transmission bias voltage that detection applies in C3.Here, the transmission bias voltage that disturbs of the transmission that is applied during for-1V when threshold voltage has 12V.
In the step of S223,, measure channel boosting voltage by using the transmission bias voltage of measuring measuring under the situation of transmitting bias voltage by transmitting interference characteristic.In this case, channel boosting voltage equals the transmission bias voltage that program bias deducts detection.Here, program bias is meant the voltage that applies to selected cell for the threshold voltage characteristic that detects the programming interference.
In addition, second threshold voltage that disturbs of programming equals program bias and deducts channel boosting voltage.In this case,, the first threshold voltage that transmit to disturb deducts 0V, so under first threshold voltage had situation with the second threshold voltage same level, channel boosting voltage was poor corresponding to the transmission bias voltage of program voltage and detection because equaling to transmit bias voltage.
For example, when the transmission bias voltage that detects by curve B had about 12V, the program bias that channel boosting voltage has a 21V deducted the transmission bias voltage of 12V, that is 9V.
When threshold voltage be-during 1V, transmitting bias voltage by transmitting under the situation that interference characteristic detects, the scope of transmitting bias variations increases, and is increased to higher level so that transmit bias voltage.Then, once more execution in step S201 to S219.
