Description
本發明是有關於一種快閃記憶體、快閃記憶胞及其操作方法,且特別是有關於一種具雙端存取機制的快閃記憶體、快閃記憶胞及其操作方法。The present invention relates to a flash memory, a flash memory cell and an operation method thereof, and more particularly, to a flash memory with a double-ended access mechanism, a flash memory cell and an operation method thereof.
在習知的技術領域中,反或式快閃記憶體(NOR Flash Memory)透過一個電晶體(1T)的方式來建構單一快閃記憶胞。這樣形式的快閃記憶胞,無法提供過抹除(over erase)的動作,來使快閃記憶胞的臨界電壓可以為負電壓。在這樣的前提下,習知的技術領域中的反或式快閃記憶體,在進行讀取動作時,需要提供較高的字元線電壓來激活電晶體,並讀取所儲存的資料。因此,習知技術中,快閃記憶胞的讀取速度會受到限制,並需要較高的功率消耗。相對應的,在執行程式化動作時,因需要將快閃記憶胞的臨界電壓提升至相對高的電壓值,也需要更高的程式化電壓,同樣會造成高功率消耗。並且,在漏電電流以及資料可靠度的問題上,也產生了負面的影響。In the conventional technical field, NOR Flash Memory constructs a single flash memory cell by means of a transistor (1T). Such a form of flash memory cell cannot provide an over-erase action, so that the threshold voltage of the flash memory cell can be a negative voltage. Under such a premise, the conventional NAND flash memory in the technical field needs to provide a higher word line voltage to activate the transistor and read the stored data during the read operation. Therefore, in the prior art, the read speed of the flash memory cells is limited, and high power consumption is required. Correspondingly, when the programming operation is performed, since the threshold voltage of the flash memory cell needs to be raised to a relatively high voltage value, a higher programming voltage is also required, which also results in high power consumption. In addition, it also has a negative impact on leakage current and data reliability.
本發明提供一種快閃記憶體及其快閃記憶胞,可降低為選中記憶胞的漏電現象,並可支援過度抹除以及0字元線電壓讀取的功能。The present invention provides a flash memory and its flash memory cells, which can reduce the leakage phenomenon of selected memory cells, and can support the functions of over-erase and 0 word line voltage reading.

The transistor has a first end coupled to the output end of the rectifier element, the transistor has a second end coupled to the source line, and the control end of the transistor coupled to the word line.

The flash memory cells are arranged in a memory cell array, and the memory cell array has a plurality of memory cell rows and a plurality of memory cell columns. The bit lines are respectively coupled to the memory cell rows. The word lines are respectively coupled to the memory cell rows. The source lines are respectively coupled to the memory cell rows. Each of the flash memory cells includes a rectifying element and a transistor. The rectifying element has an input terminal coupled to the corresponding bit line. A transistor has a charge storage structure. The transistor has a first end coupled to the output end of the rectifying element. The transistor has a second end coupled to the corresponding source line. The control end of the transistor is coupled to the corresponding word line.
本發明的快閃記憶體的操作方法包括:提供整流元件以耦接在對應的位元線以及具有電荷儲存結構的電晶體間;在程式化動作中,使選中記憶胞對應的選中字元線接收第一電壓;使選中記憶胞對應的選中位元線接收第二電壓;使選中記憶胞對應的一選中源極線接收第三電壓,其中第一電壓大於第二電壓,第二電壓大於第三電壓。The operating method of the flash memory of the present invention includes: providing a rectifying element to be coupled between a corresponding bit line and a transistor having a charge storage structure; in the programming action, selecting a selected character corresponding to a selected memory cell The line receives the first voltage; the selected bit line corresponding to the selected memory cell receives the second voltage; the selected source line corresponding to the selected memory cell receives the third voltage, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage, The second voltage is greater than the third voltage.
基於上述,本發明提出的快閃記憶胞具有整流元件以耦接在電晶體與位元線間,並具有雙端存取的架構。這種雙端存取的架構可以避免未被選中的快閃記憶胞發生漏電的現象,並可提供過抹除(over erase)操作,以及0字元線電壓讀取的功能。另外,本發明的快閃記憶胞所建構的快閃記憶體的讀取速度可以被提升,且記憶胞陣列所需要的電路布局面積也可以有效的被減小。Based on the above, the flash memory cell proposed by the present invention has a rectifier element to be coupled between the transistor and the bit line, and has a double-terminal access structure.

In addition, the read speed of the flash memory constructed by the flash memory cells of the present invention can be improved, and the circuit layout area required by the memory cell array can also be effectively reduced.

On the contrary, when the voltage on the input terminal of the rectifying element 110 is not greater than the critical value, the rectifying element 110 is equivalently turned off. At this time, the output end of the rectifier element 110 may be in a floating state.
依據上述,當快閃記憶胞100在程式化的動作中被設定為未選中快閃記憶胞時,可以透過拉低位元線BL上的電壓,及/或拉低字元線WL上的電壓,來使快閃記憶胞100有效被遮蔽(inhibited),進而降低發生漏電現象的可能。According to the above, when the

以下請參照圖5,圖5繪示本發明另一實施例的快閃記憶胞結構的剖面圖。快閃記憶胞500包括整流元件510以及電晶體520。整流元件510由分別為P型加強型(P+)摻雜區511以及N型加強型(N+)摻雜區512相疊而構成。P+摻雜區511耦接至位元線BL,N+摻雜區512則耦接至電晶體520。電晶體520包括基底525、摻雜區523、多晶矽結構524、記憶體閘極(memory gate, MG)521以及氧化矽-氮化矽-氧化矽(ONO)結構522。Please refer to FIG. 5 below.

在本實施例中,基底525的導電型態可以為P型,摻雜區523則可以為N型加強型(N+)的摻雜區。In this embodiment, the conductivity type of the
以下請參照圖6,圖6繪示本發明一實施例的快閃記憶體的示意圖。快閃記憶體600包括多個快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)、多條位元線BL1~BLM、多條字元線WL1~WLM以及多條源極線SL1~SLN。其中,每一快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)均可應用前述實施例的快閃記憶胞100、200、500中的任一來實施,其中圖示中的二極體為整流元件。快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)排列成一記憶胞陣列。記憶胞陣列中具有多個記憶胞行以及多個記憶胞列。位元線BL1~BLM則分別耦接至多個記憶胞列,字元線WL1~WLM分別耦接至多個記憶胞列,且源極線SL1~SLN則分別耦接至多個記憶胞行。快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)可應用前述多個實施例中的任一快閃記憶胞來實施,沒有特定的限制。Please refer to FIG. 6 below. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a flash memory according to an embodiment of the present invention. The
在布局上,字元線WL1~WLM以及位元線BL1~BLM可以沿相同的第一方向進行延伸,而源極線SL1~SLN則可以沿與第一方不同的第二方向延伸。其中第一方向可以與第二方向正交。In terms of layout, the word lines WL1 ˜WLM and the bit lines BL1 ˜BLM may extend in the same first direction, and the source lines SL1 ˜SLN may extend in a second direction different from the first direction. The first direction may be orthogonal to the second direction.
在本實施例中,快閃記憶體600並包括控制器610。控制器610耦接至快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M),並透過字元線WL1~WLM、位元線BL1~BLM以及源極線SL1~SLN以提供電壓至快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M),來對快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)的每一者執行程式化、抹除或讀取動作。控制器610並用以執行本發明實施例的操作方法,並執行快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)的每一者執行程式化、抹除或讀取動作。In this embodiment, the
在細節上,在程式化動作中,以快閃記憶胞MCA為選中記憶胞,快閃記憶胞MCB~MCD為非選中記憶胞為範例。控制器610可使快閃記憶胞MCA對應的字元線WLM為8伏特;位元線BLM為-8伏特;且源極線SL3為-8伏特。並使快閃記憶胞MCA透過FN穿隧的方式來執行程式化動作。同時,控制器610可使快閃記憶胞MCB對應的源極線SL2為0伏特,使快閃記憶胞MCC、MCD對應的字元線WLM-1以及位元線BLM-1均為0伏特。如此一來,非選中的快閃記憶胞MCB~MCD可以有效被遮蔽,而不會執行被程式化動作。In the details, in the programmed action, the flash memory cell MCA is used as the selected memory cell, and the flash memory cells MCB~MCD are used as the unselected memory cells as an example. The
值得一提的,在本實施例中,快閃記憶胞MCA~MCD設置在積體電路中的相同井區(例如為P型井區)中。在程式化動中,井區例如接收-8伏特的偏壓。It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the flash memory cells MCA to MCD are arranged in the same well region (eg, a P-type well region) in the integrated circuit. In programming, the well region receives a bias voltage of -8 volts, for example.
若以通道熱電子注入的方式執行程式化動作,控制器610可使快閃記憶胞MCA對應的字元線WLM為10伏特;位元線BLM為5伏特;且源極線SL3為0伏特。同時,控制器610使快閃記憶胞MCB對應的源極線SL2為5伏特,使快閃記憶胞MCC、MCD對應的字元線WLM-1以及位元線BLM-1均為0伏特。井區則例如接收0伏特的偏壓。如此一來,快閃記憶胞MCA可有效程式化,而快閃記憶胞MCB~MCD則可以有效被遮蔽。If the programming operation is performed by channel hot electron injection, the
在抹除動作中,控制器610可使位元線BLM、BLM-1、字元線WLM、WLM-1以及源極線SL2、SL3均為0伏特。控制器610並提供一抹除電壓(例如16伏特)至井區,以針對快閃記憶胞MCA~MCD,透過FN穿隧方式,執行區塊抹除動作。During the erase operation, the
在讀取動作中,控制器610則可使選中的快閃記憶胞MCA對應的字元線WLM為0伏特;位元線BLM為1.2伏特;且源極線SL3為0伏特。同時,控制器610可使快閃記憶胞MCB對應的源極線SL2為1.2伏特,使快閃記憶胞MCC、MCD對應的字元線WLM-1以及位元線BLM-1均為0伏特。如此,快閃記憶胞MCA的資料可被讀取,而快閃記憶胞MCB~MCD則可被遮蔽。During the read operation, the
在讀取動作中,快閃記憶胞MCA~MCD共用的井區接收0伏特的偏壓。During the read operation, the well area shared by the flash memory cells MCA~MCD receives a bias voltage of 0 volts.
在此請注意,在本實施例的架構中,快閃記憶胞MC1~MC(N*M)的每一者,可以允許被執行過抹除(over erase)動作。也就是使被抹除的快閃記憶胞的臨界電壓為負電壓值。在這樣的條件下,當執行讀取動作時,本發明實施例中,賦予快閃記憶胞的偏壓的電壓值可以減小,降低所需要的消耗功率。並且,在低電壓操作的前提下,本發明實施例的快閃記憶體裝置600中所可能產生的漏電流,可以有效被減低。Please note that in the architecture of this embodiment, each of the flash memory cells MC1 ˜MC(N*M) may be allowed to perform an over erase operation. That is, the threshold voltage of the erased flash memory cell is made a negative voltage value. Under such conditions, when the read operation is performed, in the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage value of the bias voltage imparted to the flash memory cell can be reduced, thereby reducing the required power consumption. Moreover, under the premise of low-voltage operation, the leakage current that may be generated in the
值得一提的,上述實施例中,字元線、位元線、源極線以及井區中所施加的電壓的數值,都只是說明用的範例,不用以限制本發明的範疇。在實際的使用上,字元線、位元線、源極線以及井區中所施加的電壓的數值,可依據積體電路的製程參數、操作電源的電壓值大小等多種因素來進行設定,並沒有固定的限制。It is worth mentioning that, in the above embodiments, the values of the voltages applied to the word line, the bit line, the source line and the well region are only examples for illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In actual use, the value of the voltage applied to the word line, bit line, source line and well area can be set according to various factors such as the process parameters of the integrated circuit and the voltage value of the operating power supply. There are no fixed limits.
此外,控制器610可應用任意形式的數位電路來建構。在實際使用上,控制器610可搭配類比形式的電壓產生器,來在合適的時間,提供對應程式化動作、抹除動作或讀取動作的各種電壓至快閃記憶胞中。在此,如何控制以提供對應程式化動作、抹除動作或讀取動作的各種電壓至快閃記憶胞,是為本領域具通常知識者所熟知,在此不多贅述。In addition, the
綜上所述,本發明的快閃記憶胞中,在電晶體以及位元線間設置一整流元件,並使快閃記憶胞可提供雙端存取的機制。如此,快閃記憶胞可執行過抹除動作,並使臨界電壓可以為負電壓值。在這樣的條件下,針對快閃記憶胞進行存取動作所需要的偏壓值可以減小,有效降低功率消耗,以及所可能產生的漏電流現象。同時,快閃記憶體的讀取速度也可以獲得提升。To sum up, in the flash memory cell of the present invention, a rectifying element is arranged between the transistor and the bit line, so that the flash memory cell can provide a mechanism of double-terminal access. In this way, the flash memory cell can perform an over-erase operation, and the threshold voltage can be a negative voltage value. Under such conditions, the bias voltage value required for the access operation of the flash memory cell can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption and the possible leakage current phenomenon. At the same time, the read speed of the flash memory can also be improved.
