Flash memory cell erase scheme using both source and channel regions

A method of erasing a non-volatile memory includes applying a first potential of first polarity to a control gate; applying a second potential of second polarity to a bulk region, the second potential being an N magnitude; and applying a third potential of second polarity to a source region, the thi...

Zusammenfassung:A method of erasing a non-volatile memory includes applying a first potential of first polarity to a control gate; applying a second potential of second polarity to a bulk region, the second potential being an N magnitude; and applying a third potential of second polarity to a source region, the third potential being an M magnitude, wherein the N and M are substantially the same.
