Abstract

A dual-node split-gate silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon cell with a novel read scheme is proposed for 2-bit/cell operation. Using suitable gate screening bias in reverse read, bit coupling can be reduced, even when low read VD is used to keep read disturb under control. The proposed read scheme maintains the memory window for dual-bit/cell operation for deeply scaled cells. Two-dimensional process, device, and Monte Carlo simulations are extensively used to design and understand cell operation.
