Abstract: Disclosed is an operating method of a flash memory device, which includes normal memory cells and dummy memory cells. The operating method includes programming the normal memory cells and programming the dummy memory cells. A dummy pass voltage used for programming the dummy memory cells is different from a normal pass voltage used for programming the normal memory cells.

Abstract: A method for forming a precursor solution for metal organic deposition includes dissolving an additive-free first precursor composed of a rare earth element, a second precursor comprising barium, and a third precursor composed of copper into an acid to form a compound solution; dissolving the compound solution into a solvent to form a pre-precursor solution; and evaporating the solvent from the pre-precursor solution to form a precursor solution having an increased viscosity; wherein at least one of the first precursor, the second precursor, and the third precursor is dissolved into a fluorine-free acid. A method for forming a superconducting thick film from the above precursor solution includes forming a thick film by a one-time coating of the precursor solution having an increased viscosity onto a biaxially-textured base followed by heat treating to form the superconducting thick film having a thickness of about 0.2 ?m or more and having no cracking.

Abstract: Operation methods of charge-trap flash memory devices having an unused memory cell for data storage and a normal memory cell used for data storage are discussed. The operation method may include selecting the unused memory cell, and programming the unused memory cell to have a predetermined threshold voltage. The charge-trap flash memory device may thus be provided with improved reliability by interrupting erasure stress to unused memory cells.

Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a nonvolatile memory device to perform an erase operation. The method includes applying a composite pulse including a direct current (DC) pulse and a DC perturbation pulse to the nonvolatile memory device to perform the erase operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a precursor solution for metal organic deposition and a method of forming a superconducting thick film using the same. A first precursor comprising one rare earth element, a second precursor comprising barium, and a third precursor comprising copper are dissolved into acid to form a compound solution, the compound solution is dissolved into solvent to form a pre-precursor solution, and the solvent of the pre-precursor solution is evaporated to form a precursor solution with the increased viscosity. A sufficiently thick film can be formed without any cracking through only one-time coating.

Abstract: A lock-out circuit is adapted to selectively perform a lock-out function in an integrated circuit device. The lock-out function cuts off the supply of an operating voltage to the integrated circuit device whenever a power supply voltage for the device falls below a predetermined detection voltage. However, the lock-out function is disabled whenever the integrated circuit device performs an operation requiring a power supply voltage lower than the predetermined detection voltage.
