Description

The memory device of memory device method for refreshing and adjustable refresh operation frequency
Technical field
The invention relates to memory device method for refreshing and the memory devices of adjustable refresh operation frequency, especially Relate to a kind of method for refreshing of the memory device of adjustable refresh operation frequency.
Background technique
In general, flash memory (such as NOR flash memory) includes multiple storage members, these storage members are divided into multiple sectors (sectors).By sequence instead or for type flash memory (SPI NOR flash), a sector can have 4096 bytes (4Kbyte) Storage member.In order to reduce the area of flash memory, multiple sectors can share a semiconductor well region.Flash memory can receive erasing instruction with Programming instruction.Erasing instruction is so that the storage member selected is in lower critical voltage to wipe the storage selected member State;Programming instruction is so that the storage member selected is in higher threshold voltage state to program the storage selected member. Wherein, erasing instruction includes pre-programmed (pre-program), erasing and rear programming (post-program) operation, and is wiped Minimum unit be sector.In practice, according to the unit of erasing, erasing instruction can be divided into sector erasing instruction, memory block erasing Instruction and chip erasing instruction, respectively to wipe a sector, a memory block (block) and entire chip (chip).For example, when flash memory receives sector erasing instruction, one of sector can be selected for erasing behaviour Make.At this point, a negative voltage those of can be applied in the sector selected the control grid of the transistor of storage member, and a positive electricity Pressure is then applied to shared semiconductor well region.Whereby, the electronics for being stored in floating gate (floating gate) is driven to shift to semiconductor Well region those of makes in the sector selected storage member in lower critical voltage shape to reduce the critical voltage of transistor State.
The manufacturer of flash memory must assure that the erase-write cycle characteristics of flash memory, also that is, even if executing repeatedly to memory Problem such as changing electrical characteristic will not occur for erasing and write instruction.Wherein, an erase-write circulation is to quilt The storage member of selection executes primary erasing instruction and primary programming instruction.However, with the increasing of erase-write cycle-index Add, trap area will be generated in the oxide layer of channel, electronics will be easier to be trapped in the oxide layer of channel, cause to reach set by storage member Fixed critical voltage becomes more difficult, needs to increase erasing pulse and the time needed for completing erasing is made to become longer, this A phenomenon is known as storing the aging of member.It, can be by the time required to increasing erasing voltage to reduce erasing in order to up to specification.
However, the semiconductor well region due to being applied positive voltage includes the fan selected when executing multiple erasing operation Area and non-selected sector are stored up so that those of non-selected sector programming stores first (programmed cell) The electronics deposited is influenced by the positive voltage applied and is lost, and leads to those of non-selected sector programming storage member The critical voltage of transistor declines.In this way, be the storage member for being programmed (storage " 0 ") originally in non-selected sector It will be identified that the storage member for being wiped free of (storage " 1 ").In addition, these are non-selected in during executing erasing instruction Storage member may also suffer from executing Drain Disturbance caused by pre-programmed and rear programming.
Therefore, flash memory needs execute refresh operation after erasing instruction is finished, by non-selected sector Central Plains This critical voltage value for being disturbed storage member in programming state, which is drawn high, is restored back to original higher critical voltage value.So And it executes refresh operation and then increases the sector erasing time of flash memory, and will cause Drain Disturbance.
For example, non-selected all memory blocks are divided into multiple groups by a kind of existing refresh operation, and are wrapped Include following steps.In step 1, sector erasing instruction at least once is executed.In step 2, refresh first group not by The memory block of selection, and return to step 1.In step 3, refresh second group of non-selected memory block, and returns to Step 1.And so on, the non-selected memory block until refreshing last group.In another existing refresh operation In, it is to refresh all non-selected memory blocks after executing sector erasing instruction at least once.
However, existing method for refreshing bulk is all to refresh operating frequency operation with fixed, refresh operation frequency is defined as The inverse of primary corresponding erasing instruction number is refreshed in all sectors, can be represented mathematically as: 1/ (X*N/N '), In it is every to execute X erasing instruction be refresh operation of implementation, N is the number of sectors of common semiconductor well region, and N ' is to select every time Do the number of sectors refreshed.This fixes refreshing operating frequency and must take into account with depositing after erase-write cycle-index increase The aging phenomenon of Chu Yuan, thus using high refresh operation frequency, such as one erasing instruction of every execution it is necessary to refresh it is all not The sector selected, to smoothly complete the erasing of aging storage member.However, higher refresh operation frequency may cause more seriously Drain Disturbance, and required time will be more.Furthermore for not aged storage member, it will make to brush using high refreshing frequency It is new less efficient.Control needs to propose the new memory device of one kind in the range of setting the time required in order to wipe Method for refreshing.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention provides a kind of method for refreshing of memory device, can be according to the storage member of memory device Degree of aging executes the frequency of refresh operation to adjust.Whereby, the present invention can improve refresh operation efficiency, and it is dry to reduce drain electrode It disturbs.
