Embodiment
For increasing the capacity of internal memory, the invention provides a P channel SONOS memory element method of operating, make can store two bits in the mnemon.The data that are stored in each mnemon can single bit be that unit erases, and therefore can reach the operation that single bit is erased.
See also Fig. 3, be generalized section according to the P channel NROM structure that has two bit memory functions in one embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 3, P channel SONOS memory element comprises a substrate 200, at the ONO layer 210 in the substrate 200, grid 212 on ONO layer 210.ONO layer 210 is structures of silicon monoxide/nitrogenize silicon/oxidative silicon, includes one silica layer 204, a silicon nitride layer 206 and one silica layer 208.In addition, two P are arranged
+Doped region 202a and 202b are arranged in ONO layer 210 substrate on two sides 200.Grid 212 for example is a P
+Doped polycrystalline silicon layer.The drain region be two doped region 202a and 202b one of them, and among two doped region 202a and the 202b another is just as source area.For instance, if a bit 214a is operated, the drain region is exactly doped region 202a so, and source area is exactly doped region 202b.When operating another bit 214b, on the contrary, the drain region is exactly doped region 202b, and source area is exactly doped region 202a.
P channel SONOS memory element of the present invention can be operated by a specific bias voltage, but two bit 214a and 214b to have storage data, and each bit can other erase.Fig. 4 is according to the grid current-voltage curve (Ig-Vg curve) of its operation of P channel SONOS memory element of one embodiment of the invention among Fig. 3.Can produce hot electron and hot hole in the P channel SONOS memory element of the present invention, these hot electrons produce down in different bias voltage configurations (biasconfiguration) with hot hole, and these bias voltage kenels are Vg, Vs, Vd and V
B, be meant the bias voltage that is applied to grid 212, source area, drain region and substrate 200 respectively.In Fig. 4, for example be-9V so just to have hot hole to produce, and for example be-1V so just to have hot electron to produce when grid 212 is applied in a bias voltage when grid 212 is applied in a bias voltage.That is to say that the absolute value that produces the required operating voltage (working voltage) of hot hole is higher than the absolute value that produces the required operating voltage of hot electron.
According to the characteristic of I-V curve among Fig. 4, hot hole can be stored in the silicon nitride layer 206 of ONO layer 210 near the place of the drain region of selecting, and this drain region for example is doped region 202a.If deposit bit 214a in, then doped region 202a is set to the drain region, and doped region 202b then is set to source area.Table 2 is can be in order to carry out the bias voltage configuration (bias configuration) of the sequencing action and the action of erasing.

????Vg | ????Vd | ????Vs | ????V B | |
Sequencing | ????-9V | ????-9V | ????0V | ????0V |
Erase | ????-1V | ????-9V | (floating) floats | ????0V |
In the time will carrying out the sequencing action, grid bias Vg and drain bias Vd are set at the first high back bias voltage equally, for example are-9V.In this way, hot hole will be driven into and be accumulated in the part of close drain region 202a in the silicon nitride layer 206, promptly deposit bit 214a in, as shown in Figure 3.As the bit 214a that desires to erase, the hot hole that is accumulated in bit 214a position must be eliminated.The mechanism of erasing is hot electron to be driven in bit 214a position and data are erased.For this purpose, bias voltage for example is set to: Vg=-1V, and Vd=-9V, and Vs is set at and floats V
B=0V (ground connection).Therefore produce hot electron and import bit 214a position and general's hot hole elimination wherein.After cancelling out each other in electronics and electric hole, therefore data are erased.
If carry out sequencing to deposit another bit 214b in, then doped region 202b is selected as a drain region, and doped region 202a is promptly as source area.The configuration of bias voltage (configuration) is as described in Table 2 equally.
The mechanism that deposits another bit 214b in is identical with bit 214a, because the bias voltage that applies can produce a strong electric field in the place near the drain region, therefore can produce hot hole in the channel herein, it is attracted by the grid 212 of high back bias voltage simultaneously and passes silicon oxide layer 204, and insulated silicon nitride layer 206 is caught in wherein.So hot hole can be deposited to silicon nitride layer 206 partly, and stores precedent 1 data in this way.Same, when erasing action, hot hole can locally produce and flow to the silicon nitride layer 206 near the place, drain region.Other bit near source area can not be affected.Therefore, can single bit be the unit action of erasing, and do not influence another adjacent bit.In the present invention, this kind operation is called single bit operating.Known method in order to the data of erasing is to be that unit erases with a whole block, because it is to utilize the FN tunnelling mechanism data of erasing.Owing to utilize FN tunnelling mechanism can not produce electronics partly, therefore will inevitably have influence on contiguous bit and mnemon.
In the SONOS memory element, utilize the ONO layer with record data, make hot hole can be limited in the place near the drain region, therefore write or when erasing data, can store two bits in the mnemon according to aforesaid method of operation.On the other hand, data can be read by known mode.
In summary, the present invention uses a SONOS memory element that can store two bits of data in a mnemon, be data to be write in the silicon nitride layer near the position of drain region storing a bit, and will erase near a bit of drain region with hot electron with hot hole.
