The array uses rectangular-diffusion cell (RD-cell) and delta-boosted-array-voltage scheme (DBA-scheme). In the RD-cell, the cell ratio is 1.0, and it reduces the imbalance of the cell ratio. A low supply voltage deteriorates the static noise margin, however, the DBA-scheme compensates it. Using the combination of RD-cell and DBA-scheme, a 32-kB test chip achieves 0.4-V operation at 4.5-MHz frequency and 140-/spl mu/W power dissipation and 0.9-/spl mu/A standby current.","PeriodicalId":162493,"journal":{"name":"2002 Symposium on VLSI Circuits.

A multilevel technique is one of the most effective approaches for improving memory density. But long cell programming time and precise control of the memory cell's threshold voltage (Vth) degrade its programming performance. To realize fast cell programming, we have developed a so-called assist-gate (AG)-AND-type flash cell, in which programming is performed by source side channel hot electron injection (SSI). In this paper, we developed a constant-charge-injection programming, which realizes fast precise control of Vth by suppressing the characteristic deviation. By utilizing proposed scheme, we achieved. 10.3-MB/s programming throughput in multilevel AG-AND flash memories.","PeriodicalId":162493,"journal":{"name":"2002 Symposium on VLSI Circuits.
