  • Patent number: 7948035
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flash memory array. The flash memory array includes at least two word lines of gate electrode material. At least one of the word lines is connected through a first metal level to a discharge circuit, while other word line(s) may connect to a discharge circuit through a first and second metal level. The memory array further includes a shorting path between the word lines of the memory array. The shorting path is a high resistance layer of undoped gate electrode material. The resistance value of the gate electrode material is such that the word lines can be used to read, write, or erase without effecting each other, but that during the formation of a first metal level, as charges will build up on a first word line which requires a second metal level to connect to its discharge junction circuit, it will short the first word line to an adjacent second word line that has a connection to its junction circuit on the first metal level.

  • Patent number: 7808827
    Abstract: Systems and/or methods that facilitate discharging bit lines (BL) associated with memory arrays in nonvolatile memory at a controlled rate are presented. A discharge component facilitates discharging the BL at a desired rate thus preventing the “hot switching” phenomenon from occurring within a y-decoder component(s) associated with the nonvolatile memory. The discharge component can be comprised of, in part, a discharge transistor component that controls the rate of BL discharge wherein the gate voltage of the discharge transistor component can be controlled by a discharge controller component. The rate of BL discharge can be determined by the size of discharge transistor component used in the design, the strength and/or size of the y-decoder component, the number of erase errors that occur for a particular memory device, and/or other factors in order to facilitate preventing hot switching from occurring.

  • Patent number: 7613042
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for erasing memory cells in a virtual ground memory core, wherein a row decoder apparatus employs a protective voltage to wordlines of a sector of cells while concurrently providing an erase voltage to selected wordlines of the same physical sector. Decoder circuitry and methods are disclosed for selecting a memory cell sector to be erased and adjacent sectors to be protected, which may be used in single bit and dual bit memory devices, and which enable column decoder circuitry to reduce the number of sector select circuits.
