Embodiment Construction

[0019] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific examples will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] figure 1 It is a diagram illustrating an implementation manner of a memory cell array (corresponding to a sector) in a NOR type stack flash memory (NOR type stack flash), and the reference number is 100 . During an erase operation, over-erased problems may occur. For example, take the memory cells in the first row (the memory cells connected to the data line BL1) as an example, if some memory cells in the first row are found to be difficult to erase during the erasing process, the memory cells in the first row will be continuously erased. All memory cells in the first row are erased until all memory cells in the first row are indeed erased. However, such an operation may cause over-erasing of other memory cells in the first row even though th...

Abstract

The invention discloses an NOR type stack flash and an over-erased verification and restoration method thereof. A sector of the NOR type stack flash is applied with over-erased column verification by the method for each column, and columns which cannot pass through the over-erased column verification undergo over-erased column restoration. Additionally, the columns which cannot pass through the over-erased column restoration and pass through the over-erased column verification are applied with over-erased bit verification for each bit, and bits which cannot pass through the over-erased bit verification undergo over-erased bit restoration. The NOR type stack flash and the over-erased verification and restoration method in the embodiment of the invention can solve a current leakage problem generated by over erase.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a NOR type stack flash and its over-erased verification and repair method. Background technique [0002] The design of the NOR-type cache memory includes an erase operation to clear the contents of all memory cells to the same value. However, in the erasing operation, some memory cells may be over-erased, causing the threshold voltage of transistors (such as MOS) in these memory cells to be too low, and leakage current may easily occur. (leakage). [0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned leakage current problem, it is necessary to deal with the above-mentioned over-erase problem accordingly. Contents of the invention [0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a NOR gate type cache memory and its over-erased verification and repair method. In the method, an over-erased row verification is performed row by row on a sector of the NOR-type cache memory, and an over-erased row repair is performed on the rows...
