[Prior Art] Before the economic value can be fully utilized, the memory capacity is improved—it is the goal pursued by the memory device'. In the process of the innovation of semiconductor technology, the progress of the process makes the high-capacity memory S Pieces - straight have a breakthrough development. In the current widely used flash memory, it is mainly divided into two layers of single layer materials and multi-layer units. The storage mode of the single-layer single-secret flash memory structure is that the paste applies a voltage to the charge of the floating gate, and the stored charge is removed through the source, thereby achieving the state of the Q state to store the data to reach the memory cell ( Coffee (10) 1 υ can bribe a data bit, and can mention (four) speed material woven wire reading. Axis _ stick will be affected by the secret efficiency (five) _ efficiency) resulting in higher cost, but its efficiency and reliability are relative Advantage. Another type of multi-layer single (four) flash memory stores two bits of read information in a floating _ pole. Through the control of the writing and sensing of the memory cell, a four-layer unit can be generated in a single crystal. However, due to the processing of the multi-cell flash memory, the charge of the memory cell is faster, so the power is more serious and the money is only about 10,000 times. Hangw should be flashing at the current _ price competition trend, there are many products to make such multi-level cell flash memory. In view of the above, the present invention effectively combines the above two types of flash memory in the same memory tree, and proposes a hybrid flash memory county and its operation method, so as to maximize the performance of flash memory. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a view-type, _ memory county and its operation method, which is a single-layer unit flash memory and a multi-layer single-read flash memory two different architecture flash memory At the same time, it is integrated into the pulping device towel, and the writing speed of the single-layer unit butterfly memory is fast, stable, high-reliability, high-reliability and long-life, and the price of the flash memory is low and the density of the product is high. Into (10) low production costs, and play the biggest performance of the Qingyi recall. Another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid flash memory device and an operation method thereof, which are capable of averaging a single layer unit flash flash memory layer and a flash memory of the body. The number of writes 'to achieve a wear level balance between the two to achieve better performance of _ memory. A further object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid flash memory device and an operation method thereof, which can be based on a product of a miscellaneous customer, a miscellaneous mixed memory, and a soap layer unit memory and return. The unit, _ _ _ _ age capacity _, and can adjust the number of erasing and writing of the single-layer unit flash memory and the multi-level unit flash memory. In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention is a silk-and-long type body device, which comprises at least one single-shore hidden early layer soap 7L flash memory and at least one multi-layer unit flash memory. 'Knife storage data: and there is - control unit, which is connected to the single-layer unit flash flash memory and multi-level cell flash memory, and control the access and storage addresses of both. Heart 200915065, the other method of the present invention is a method for operating the county. After receiving at least one piece of data, the system first selects the data to store the single layer unit flashing. a single-read flash memory; or a single-layer flash memory or a multi-level cell flash memory for storing the data of the data storage unit address; determining the data storage unit address Whether it is purely erasing the age of 'If the (four) silk writes this capital · County Yuan, if it is then succeeded to break the age of the unit to perform the erasing of the sewing shirt is greater than a limit of 'if no' then first wipe The data is directly stored in the data storage unit address after the instruction, and if so: the new resource location is re-searched. This meal is recorded in the number of erasures to adjust the exchange of money. The new layer of ___ unit flash memory uses the loss balance of the life. The details of the present invention, the capabilities, the versatility, and the effects achieved can be more readily understood by the detailed description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] Since the single-layer unit flash memory (SLC) system has the advantages of high writing speed, high stability, reliability, and long life, it is disadvantageous in that it is expensive and has a low density of trees; The flash theater (MLC) has the advantages of low price and high storage capacity density, but has the disadvantages of slow writing speed and shortness of life.
