Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates a three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache (3DNANDflashmemory) 100.Three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100 can be energy gap engineering silicon-oxygen-nitrogen-oxygen-silicon (BE-SONOS) storer.Three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100 comprises several bit line (bitlines) BL, several serial selection line (stringselectline) SSL, several ground connection selects line (groundselectline) GSL, several common source line (commonsourceline) CSL and several wordline (wordlines) WL.Each bit line BL is in order to select a certain layer.Each serial selection line SSL is in order to select a particular serial.
In Fig. 1, voltage (selectvoltage) can be selected in one of them of bit line BL by applying one first, select two layers wherein one.In one deck, voltage can be selected in one of them of serial selection line SSL by applying one second, select wherein one of four serials.In a serial, several storage unit (memorycell) can by applying one forward voltage and conducting, and a storage unit can read voltage by applying one and write voltage (programvoltage) to write to carry out reading or applies one.
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates the schematic diagram of four kinds of states of multistage (multi-levelcell, MLC) Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache.In multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory, four kinds of states can represent in low paging (l0wpage) and high paging (highpage).For example, if low paging position is " 0 " and high paging position is " 1 ", be then state " 10 ".If low paging position is " 1 " and high paging position is " 0 ", then it is state " 01 ".In write-in program, if multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory is positioned at state " 11 " and for being written to state " 10 ", then needs low paging position to be changed into " 0 " by " 1 ".If multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory is positioned at state " 11 " and for being written to state " 01 ", then needs high paging position to be changed into " 0 " by " 1 ".If multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory is positioned at state " 10 " and for being written to state " 00 ", then needs high paging position to be changed into " 0 " by " 1 ".That is, when writing multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory to NextState, the current state of multistage Sheffer stroke gate flash memory first correctly must be read.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it illustrates three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100 and to be interfered the situation of (interference).In order to the gap reducing three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100, first storage unit MC1 and two the second storage unit MC2 become less.The first storage unit MC1 between two the second storage unit MC2 may be subject to the interference of the second storage unit MC2.Therefore, the current state of the first storage unit MC1 possibly cannot correctly read.Thus, the first storage unit MC1 possibly correctly cannot write to NextState.
Therefore, before the write-in program carrying out three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100, first must perform and pre-read (pre-reading) program accurately.Please refer to Fig. 4, it illustrates the process flow diagram of the wiring method of three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100.Step S410 is a pre-head method.Step S410 and S420 is then a wiring method.Before step S410 is executed in step S420, correctly to read the current state for each storage unit of write in three-dimensional Sheffer stroke gate high-speed cache 100.
Step S410 comprises step S411, S412 and S413.In step S411, please refer to Fig. 1, apply first and select voltage in one of them of bit line BL, to select one of them of several layers.For example, first voltage is selected can be 3 volts (V).
In step S412, please refer to Fig. 1, apply one second and select voltage in one of them of several serial selection line SSL, to select one of them of several serial in this layer selected.For example, second voltage is selected can be 3 volts.
Please refer to Fig. 5, it illustrates the serial selected.The serial selected comprises the first storage unit MC1, two the second storage unit MC2 and several 3rd storage unit MC3.Second storage unit MC2 is adjacent to the first storage unit MC1, and the 3rd storage unit MC3 is non-conterminous in the first storage unit MC1.First storage unit MC1 may be subject to the interference of the second storage unit MC2.
In step S413, by wordline WL apply the first forward voltage (passvoltage) in the second storage unit MC2, apply the second forward voltage in the 3rd storage unit MC3 and apply read voltage in the first storage unit MC1, to read the data of the first storage unit MC1.First forward voltage is higher than the second forward voltage.
Please refer to Fig. 6, its two of illustrating the first storage unit MC1 be interfered read voltage curve C1, C2.In reading voltage curve C1, the first storage unit MC1 is positioned at state " 0 ", and in reading voltage curve C2, the first storage unit MC1 is positioned at state " 1 ".The second forward voltage putting on the 3rd storage unit MC3 is 6 volts.As shown in Figure 6, when the first forward voltage putting on the second storage unit MC2 brings up to 7 volts by 6 volts, read voltage curve C1 and will reduce by 133 millivolts (mV), and reading voltage curve C2 will reduce by 266 millivolts (mV).Read voltage curve C1 not identical with the reduction amplitude reading voltage curve C2.
That is, when the first forward voltage is greater than the second forward voltage, reads between voltage curve C1 and reading voltage curve C2 and form a window (window) W1.Window W1 can be positioned at state " 0 " or state " 1 " in order to identification first storage unit MC1.
Moreover, when the first forward voltage putting on the second storage unit MC2 is increased to 9 volts by 6 volts, reads voltage curve C1 and will reduce by 355 millivolts, and reading voltage curve C2 will reduce by 755 millivolts.That is, when the first forward voltage be greater than the second forward voltage more time, that reads that voltage curve C1 and the window W2 read between voltage curve C2 becomes is larger.Therefore the first storage unit MC1 is positioned at state " 0 " or state " 1 " and is more easily identified.
According to the explanation of Fig. 6, if the first forward voltage for be greater than the second forward voltage and be 7 ~ 9 volts time, even if the first storage unit MC1 is interfered, the current state of the first storage unit MC1 still can read exactly.
In one embodiment, step S410 can perform twice, to read the low paging position of the first storage unit MC1 and high paging position.
Then, in the step s 420, the write-in program of the first storage unit MC1 is carried out.Because pre-reader (i.e. step S410) first performs, the first storage unit MC1 can carry out write-in program exactly.
In sum, although the present invention with preferred embodiment disclose as above, so itself and be not used to limit the present invention.Persond having ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, when being used for a variety of modifications and variations.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention is when being as the criterion of defining depending on the right of enclosing.
