A biasing configuration is applied to a variety of different terminals to bend the bands sufficiently to cause current between the strips in the non-volatile memory cell structure while maintaining the potential difference between the non-volatile memory cell nodes Be low enough so that stylization or erasure does not occur. ^ In the bias configuration example, the non-volatile memory cell structure is reverse biased relative to the active source region or the drain region and the body region to create a junction of the reverse bias. In addition, the voltage of the gate structure causes these bands to bend to φ sufficient to cause interband tunneling through the non-volatile memory cell structure. The high doping concentration in one of the non-volatile memory cell structure nodes (in the majority of the embodiments, the source or drain regions). The structural node has a high charge density in the space charge region generated, and the voltage change of the space charge region in a short distance is helpful for generating an acute band bend. The electrons of the valence band on one side of the junction of the reverse bias are punctured to the conduction band on the other side of the junction of the reverse bias via the forbidden gap and drift down to the potential energy hill (potential) Hill), deeper to the N-type node of the junction of the reverse bias φ pressure. Similarly, the hole drifts over the potential energy hill away from the N-junction of the junction of the reverse bias and faces the P-type junction of the junction of the reverse bias. The voltage in the gate region controls the voltage at the junction of the reverse bias voltages near the charge storage structure. When the voltage of the gate structure becomes more negative, the voltage at the portion of the junction of the reverse bias located near the charge storage structure becomes more negative, resulting in a deeper band bend in the diode structure. As a result of at least some of the following combinations of (1) and (2), more current between the bands will flow: (1) occupied electron energy levels and bending energy bands on one side of the bending energy band 17 1360201

The net negative or net positive charge stored on the charge storage structure further affects the band curvature. According to Gauss's law, when the junction of the negative voltage and the reverse bias is applied to the gate region, the stronger electric field is connected by the reverse bias of the portion of the charge storage structure having a relatively high net negative charge. Partial experience. Similarly, when a positive voltage is applied to the gate region with respect to the reverse bias, the stronger electric field is the portion of the junction of the reverse bias that is close to the portion of the charge storage structure having a relatively high net positive charge. Experienced. The different bias configurations for reading and the biasing configuration for stylization and erasing show a careful balance. With respect to reading, the potential difference between the junction nodes of the reverse bias should not cause a substantial number of charge carriers to pass through a dielectric material to the charge storage structure and affect the charge storage state (ie, the programmed logic level). . In contrast, with respect to stylization and erasing, the potential difference between the junction nodes of the reverse bias is sufficient to cause a substantial number of carriers to pass through a dielectric material and affect the charge by inter-band hot carrier injection.
