Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a memory block coupled to word lines and configured to a memory cell including a floating gate, an inter-poly dielectric and a control gate and a peripheral circuit configured to perform an erase loop operation, a program loop operation an electron injection operation of the memory cell, the electron injection operation trapping electrons in the inter-poly dielectric.
Claims18
A method of operating a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- performing an erase loop operation of a memory cell in a memory block, the memory cell comprising a floating gate, an inter-poly dielectric and a control gate;
- performing an electron injection operation of trapping electrons in the inter-poly dielectric of the memory cell;
- and
- performing a program loop operation of memory cells coupled to a word line selected from the memory block.
