  • Patent number: 11699479
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory apparatus may include a control circuit, a sense amplifier, and a reference generator. The control circuit may apply a read voltage across a target memory cell through a selected global bit line and a selected global word line. The sense amplifier may generate an output signal by comparing voltage levels of the selected global word line and a reference line. The reference generator may change the voltage level of the reference line by charging and discharging a capacitor that is coupled to the reference line.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11551752
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory apparatus performs a plurality of read operations by using a plurality of read voltages. A first read operation is performed by applying a first read voltage to a memory cell. A second read operation is selectively performed based on whether a snap-back of the memory cell occurs during the first read operation. The second read operation is performed by applying a second read voltage having a higher voltage level than the first read voltage to the memory cell.

  • Publication number: 20210407593
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory apparatus may include a memory cell, a bit line control circuit, and a word line control circuit. The memory cell may be coupled between a global bit line and a global word line. During a read operation, the bit line control circuit may provide a first high voltage to the global bit line and provide a second high voltage to the global bit line when snapback of the memory cell occurs. During the read operation, the word line control circuit may provide a second read supply voltage to the global word line and provide an anneal supply voltage to the global word line when snapback of the memory cell occurs.
