In addition, 'terminal 61 is used to provide the source voltage Vs and the source region 52, terminal ⑸ is used to provide the gate voltage Vg to control the gate 68', terminal 65 is used to provide the drain voltage VDT drain region 54, and terminal 67 is provided through A p + -type doped region provides a substrate voltage VP-Sub to the substrate 50. 'Tu Ming see Figure 1b' shows a stylized step implemented according to floating gate memory unit 5 of Figure 1a_, and provides different voltages to source region one, drain region 54, stacked gate Waveform timing diagrams of 60 and substrate 50. When the floating gate memory cell 5 is programmed, a higher voltage is applied to the control gate 68 and the drain region 54 than the source region 52. For example, _ by The terminal 63 provides a relatively high gate voltage pulse Vg = 10.5V to the control gate 68, and the terminal 65 provides a relatively high-drain voltage pulse Vd = 6v to the drain region 54, and the terminal 6 1 provides Ground to provide a relatively low source voltage Vs = 0v to the source region 5 2 'terminal 6 7-Generally, it is grounded to provide a relatively low, bottom voltage VP_Sub = 0v to the substrate 5 〇 . As mentioned earlier, the high electric field formed by the high gate voltage pulse VG = 10.5V will cause the ambivalent hot electrons to be generated in the channel region 56 close to the drain region 54 and further accelerate the hot electrons across the tunneling oxidation described above. The object layer 62 is injected to the floating gate 64. Because the floating gate 64 is surrounded by an insulating layer such as 62 and 66, after the hot electrons are injected into the floating gate 64, they will fall into it and cannot be separated. In the case where the floating gate 64 is stored, The threshold value ahres ^ mldj is increased by about 3 to ⑼. As a result, when the floating gate memory unit 5 is to read the shell material and the control gate 68 is pressurized to 5V, the channel is not turned on.

The period is about -5 to 100 msec, preferably 50 msec. It is a source erasing method, that is, the source is first The region 52 applies a higher voltage than the control gate 68, for example, a relatively higher source voltage pulse Vs = 5v is provided to the source region 52 through the terminal 61, and a relatively lower gate voltage vG = _1 is provided through the terminal 63. v to control the gate 68, and the terminal 67 is grounded to provide a base voltage Vp sub = 0 v to the base 50 ′. The drain voltage VD of the drain region 54 is brought to a floating state f (floating) by the terminal 65. In this way, a high electric field will be formed between the floating gate 64 and the source region 52 across the oxide layer 62, so that the negative charge trapped in the floating gate 64 (1) will be located opposite the source region 5 2 Gather, and then by

Description of the invention (4) The flow of hot electrons in the floating gate electrode 6 4 is accelerated, but with the continuous attraction of the holes trapped in the penetrating compound layer 6 2, more and more The negative charge is drawn out and trapped in the tunneling oxide layer 62, blocking the outflow of hot electrons and slowing down the erasing speed. However, during the second erasing stage E2 of this embodiment, the foregoing phenomenon will eliminate the holes trapped in the tunnel oxide layer 62, so more and more negative charges will not be attracted and trapped in the tunnel. The phenomenon of the oxide layer 62 is as described below. Please refer to the second erasing stage E2 in FIG. 1e and FIG. 1c. The period is about 5 ~ 100msec, preferably 50msec. It is a channel erasing method, that is, the substrate 5 is firstly used. -0 is applied to control the gate 68 to a high voltage, for example, a relatively high base voltage pulse Vp_Sub = 5V is provided to the base 50 through the terminal 67, and a relatively low gate voltage pulse% = 0v is provided to the terminal 63 to control Gate 6 8 ′ As for the drain voltage vD of the drain region 5 4 and the source voltage Vs of the source region 5 2, they are brought into a floating state by terminals 65 and 61 f (f ioating) ^ This is the floating gate 64 A high electric field across the tunnel oxide layer 62 will be formed between the channel region 56 and the negative electric charge (-) trapped in the floating gate 64 to collect toward the channel region 56 and further, by Fowler_Nórdheim (F_N ) Tunneling effect, the remaining negative charges (a) in the floating gate 64 are extracted to the channel area 56 ° ^ At the same time, the negative charges trapped in the tunnel oxide layer 62 during the programming period will also be caused by the above The high electric field formed between the floating gate 64 and the channel region 56 is sucked out, eliminating blocking hot electrons The phenomenon. In addition, in the first erasing stage E1., The positive charges (holes) trapped in the tunneling oxide layer 62 are also sucked into the float by the negative voltage (Vg = -10 volts) of the control gate 68.
