Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of new method of operating on the basis of traditional structure, utilize the characteristic of nanocrystalline separation storage, has realized many-valued storage, has improved operating efficiency.
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of storage means of the many-valued non-volatility memorizer based on nanocrystalline floating gate structure, this method can realize the four kinds of store statuss in " 00 " " 01 " " 10 " " 11 ", thereby under same area, realize many-valued storage, make memory space increase twice.
Separation storage characteristics based on the many-valued non-volatility memorizer applying nano crystalline substance of nanocrystalline floating gate structure realizes many-valued storage.Many-valued non-volatility memorizer source end and drain terminal based on nanocrystalline floating gate structure are programmed respectively, based on nanocrystalline separation storage to electronics, and realize reading of different conditions.Nanocrystal can be the nano heterogeneous crystal grain that forms of metal nano-crystalline particle (as W, Ti, Ni, Au, Co or Pt etc.), semiconductor nano crystal grain (as silicon, germanium or cadmium sulfide etc.) and different materials (as the nano heterogeneous crystal grain of germanium/silicon etc.).Many-valued non-volatility memorizer based on nanocrystalline floating gate structure has the array processing structure, realizes many-valued storage in array.
Describe the storage means of the non-volatile floating-gate multivalued storage of the brilliant floating gate structure of embodiment of the invention multi-layer nano below with reference to accompanying drawings in detail.
Because nanocrystalline separation storage characteristics makes hot electron programming can only inject electronics to drain terminal, thereby causes the asymmetric of read operation.As shown in Figure 1, when carrying out the thermoelectron injection programming, electronics quickens to become thermoelectron through raceway groove, stride across the oxide layer potential well at drain terminal and enter nanocrystalline zone, because nanocrystalline separation storage characteristics, electronics can't flow to other zones of floating boom at drain terminal as Flash, and just gathers drain terminal.When reading, because the voltage that adds of drain terminal can make PN junction towards the expansion of source end, some nanocrystallinely just is not included in channel part when reading like this, so read current is less relatively, the programming mode of " 10 " is arrived in " 11 " promptly shown in Figure 3.Adopt this moment the grid end to add high pressure 6V to produce longitudinal electric field, drain terminal adds 3.5V with the generation transverse electric field and for thermionic generation provides energy, and this operates in the time frame of 10us, and the read current of this moment is " 10 " state as shown in Figure 7.The FN tunnelling is the Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling, when voltage is added in silicon dioxide layer, gets band curvature during owing to effect of electric field, thereby realization electronics direct Tunneling is crossed silicon dioxide layer.
Similarly, if the source end of changing into adds 3.5V voltage, as shown in Figure 4, thermoelectron injects and will accumulate in the source end so, and at this moment when the voltage that drain terminal adds 0.8V carries out read operation, because the expansion of PN junction can not comprise nanocrystalline injection zone, so be not subjected to the influence of effect discussed above this moment.Effect herein as previously mentioned because nanocrystalline separation storage characteristics, electronics can't flow to other zones of floating boom at drain terminal as Flash, and just gathers drain terminal.When reading, because the voltage that adds of drain terminal can make PN junction towards the expansion of source end, some nanocrystallinely just is not included in channel part when reading like this, so read current is less relatively.But in such cases, because the voltage that reads is added in the source end, not disconnected in leakage, so all nanocrystalline being included in the raceway groove, read current is unaffected.The electric current that read this moment will be littler than the electric current under " 10 " state, and threshold voltage also is improved, " 01 " promptly shown in Figure 7 state.Dui Ying operation as shown in Figure 4 adopts the grid end to add high pressure 6V producing longitudinal electric field, and the source end adds 3.5V producing transverse electric field and for thermionic generation provides energy, and such operation is exactly that " 10 " arrive the programming mode of " 01 ".
And the process of repetition Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, just add high pressure 6V to produce longitudinal electric field at the grid end, successively adding 3.5V at source end and drain terminal (adds the 3.5V drain terminal with the source end and adds 0V promptly earlier, add 0V with the source end again, the disconnected 3.5V that adds of leakage) voltage is implemented in these two ends thermoelectron successively and injects, and the injected electrons number will further improve so, and threshold voltage will be higher, the mode of operation that Here it is " 00 ", the read current of this moment is " 00 " state as shown in Figure 7.Transverse axis is a grid voltage among Fig. 7, and the longitudinal axis is the drain terminal electric current, the variation of ID-VG curve representation device inside store electrons number when operation.
Erase operation as shown in Figure 5, add negative pressure at the grid end, mode by F N tunnelling is tunneling to electronics in the raceway groove from nanocrystalline, this process probably needs the 10ms magnitude, and be implemented in conversion between " 01 " " 10 " " 11 " by regulating Verase, the grid voltage Verase that is used for wiping that adds on the grid end increases gradually, also " 11 " state during this is nanocrystalline from being programmed, warp-10V and-12V is erased to " 01 " " 10 " state gradually, after-14V is erased to last " 11 " state.
Reading state adds 3.5V voltage at the grid end as shown in Figure 6, adds the bias voltage of 0.8V at drain terminal, when device during at " 00 " state, as shown in Figure 8, because the threshold voltage of nano-crystal memory is greater than 3.5V, this moment, device was in off state, and read current is very little, in the pA magnitude; And if when the state of " 01 " " 10 " " 11 ", device is opened, electric current is in the uA rank, but because noted earlier, size of current can be variant, as shown in Figure 8, when grid voltage is 3.5V, the electric current difference is very big, and read circuit by the periphery and distinguish " 00 " " 01 " " 10 " " 11 " one of four states this moment, successfully realizes many-valued storage
As shown in Figure 8, be 00 " the threshold voltage distribution curve synoptic diagram that reads respectively under the one of four states of " 01 " " 10 " " 11 ", transverse axis is a threshold voltage, the longitudinal axis is the statistics probability that this threshold voltage distributes down.This curve is to sweep grid voltage from 0V to 6V, and adds 0.8V voltage at drain terminal, as can be seen, by the operation of Fig. 3, can successfully realize moving to right of curve, just the increase of threshold voltage to Fig. 5, and the erase operation by Fig. 6 can realize that curve moves to left, and threshold voltage reduces.Thereby realize threshold voltage distribution as shown in Figure 8, threshold voltage is distinguished from each other well and comes as can be seen, thereby realizes the many-valued storage of nanocrystalline floating gate memory.
This novel multivalued storage is compatible with traditional handicraft fully based on traditional logic technology.This structure is separated storage characteristics based on nanocrystalline electronics and is realized many-valued storage.Storer adopts thermoelectron to be injected to programming mode, is erase mode with the FN tunnelling, distinguishes the four kinds of store statuss in " 00 " " 01 " " 10 " " 11 " with the read current size, thereby can realize many-valued storage under same area, makes memory space increase twice.It is minimum to have a chip area based on the many-valued non-volatility memorizer of nanocrystalline floating gate structure, and the technology simple and flexible, read-write voltage is low, the programming time is short, memory window is big, storage time is long and plurality of advantages such as integration density height.Many-valued structure substitutes the nano-crystal memory of traditional monodrome storage, under the condition of fixed-area technique for fixing, realizes many-valued storage by adjusting mode of operation, thereby under same area, memory space is doubled, and has saved cost greatly.
Those skilled in the art can also carry out various modifications to above content under the condition that does not break away from the definite the spirit and scope of the present invention of claims.Therefore scope of the present invention is not limited in above explanation, but determine by the scope of claims.
