Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As described in the background art, since the NAND type flash memory has all the memory cells constituting the nonvolatile memory cell array with their ground terminals connected together by the common source line, the influence of the common source line noise is increased and the read operation is even wrong when the read operation is performed by the all bit line read method as the memory cell array is enlarged, and therefore, it becomes more important to reduce the common source line noise when the read operation is performed.
Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a reading method and a flash memory device, which includes performing a first sensing operation on all memory cells, performing a second sensing operation on the memory cells determined to be in an off state, and reading the flash memory device through the two sensing operations, so that noise of a common source line is reduced, and the accuracy of the reading operation is high. In order to achieve the above object, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, specifically with reference to fig. 1 to 4.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a reading method provided in the present application is shown, where the reading method is applied to a flash memory device including a nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array, and the reading method includes:
s1, determining whether to read all the memory cells of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array;
s2, if yes, applying voltage to the corresponding word lines of all the memory cells to perform a first sensing operation;
and S3, performing a second sensing operation on the memory cell determined to be in the off state after the first sensing operation, wherein a difference between a voltage applied to the word line during the first sensing operation and a voltage applied to the word line during the second sensing operation is within a preset range, and a sensing time corresponding to the second sensing operation is not less than a sensing time corresponding to the first sensing operation.
As can be seen from the above, in the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, two sensing operations are performed on the nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array, first sensing operation is performed on all memory cells, and then second sensing operation is performed on the memory cell determined to be in the off state, where the first sensing operation time is shorter than the second sensing operation time. Because the first sensing time is short, only the memory cell with larger on-state current is judged to be in an on state, the other memory cells with smaller on-state current are judged to be in an off state, and then the memory cell judged to be in the off state is subjected to second sensing operation. The second sensing time is longer than the first sensing time and is within a specified range, so that the rest of the on-state storage units can be sensed to complete the whole reading operation. Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can read the flash memory device through two times of induction operation, so that the noise of the common source line is reduced, and the high accuracy of the reading operation is ensured.
In an embodiment of the present application, the voltage applied to the word line in the first sensing operation is the same as the voltage applied to the word line in the second sensing operation.
And preferably, the induction time corresponding to the first induction operation is shorter than the induction time corresponding to the second induction operation, so that the final induction is more accurate.
The following describes the reading method provided by the embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to fig. 2a and fig. 2 b. It should be noted that, one read operation includes three parts of bit line precharge, sensing and latching on the bit line, and the corresponding times correspond to Tpre, Tdev and Tsense, respectively, which is the same as the prior art, and therefore, redundant description is not repeated.
Referring to fig. 2a, for an LSB read operation provided in this embodiment of the present application, the times for the first sensing operation corresponding to bit line precharging, sensing and latching are Tpre1, Tdev1 and Tsense1, respectively, and the times for the second sensing operation corresponding to bit line precharging, sensing and latching are Tpre2, Tdev2 and Tsense2, respectively. In which Vrd2 is applied to the word line WL of the memory cell, a full LSB read operation includes two sense operations, a first sense operation and a second sense operation. The sensing time Tdev1 of the first sensing operation is less than the sensing time Tdev2 of the second sensing operation. Since the first sensing time is shorter than the second sensing time, only the memory cell with a large on-state current is determined to be in an on-state. And the second sensing will read out the remaining memory states as on-state memory cells on the basis of the first sensing. Also, since the number of bit lines that need to be precharged at the time of the second sensing operation is reduced, the bit line precharge time Tpre2 of the second sensing operation is less than the bit line precharge time Tpre1 of the first sensing operation.
Referring to fig. 2b, a schematic diagram of an MSB read operation provided in this embodiment of the present application includes two reads for the MSB read operation, and each read includes two sense operations, that is, the first read includes a first sense operation and a second sense operation, where the times of bit line precharge, sense and latch for the first sense operation in the first read correspond to Tpre3, Tdev3 and Tsense3, respectively, and the times of bit line precharge, sense and latch for the second sense operation correspond to Tpre4, Tdev4 and Tsense4, respectively; in the second reading, the times of the first sensing operation corresponding to the bit line precharging, sensing and latching are Tpre3 ', Tdev 3' and Tsense3 ', respectively, and the times of the second sensing operation corresponding to the bit line precharging, sensing and latching are Tpre 4', Tdev4 'and Tsense 4', respectively. In the method, a voltage Vrd1 is applied to the word line WL in the first reading, and a voltage Vrd3 is applied to the word line WL in the second reading, wherein the sensing time of the first sensing operation in each reading is shorter than that of the second sensing operation, and only the memory cell with larger on-state current is determined to be in the on-state because the first sensing time is short. And the second sensing is to read out the rest storage state as an on-state storage unit on the basis of the first sensing. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of another reading method provided in this embodiment of the present application is shown, where when it is determined that the nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array is not read from all the memory cells and it is determined that a preset number of the memory cells are read, S4 applies a voltage to a word line corresponding to the memory cell, and performs a preset sensing operation on the preset number of the memory cells (where the preset number of the memory cells are sensed by controlling a bit line), where a voltage applied to the word line during the preset sensing operation is the same as a voltage applied to the word line during the first sensing operation and the second sensing operation, and a sensing time corresponding to the preset sensing operation is not shorter than a sensing time corresponding to the second sensing operation.
The number of the partial memory cells may be 1/2, that is, the preset number of the memory cells is half of the total memory cells, and the sensing time corresponding to the preset sensing operation is the same as the sensing time corresponding to the second sensing operation.
In addition, the number of the partial memory cells may also be 1/4, that is, the preset number of memory cells is one fourth of the total memory cells, wherein the preset sensing time corresponding to the sensing operation is not less than the second sensing time corresponding to the sensing operation.
It should be noted that, some memory cells may also be other numbers of memory cells, and this application is not specifically limited, and needs to be specifically designed according to practical applications, and the sensing time corresponding to the preset sensing operation is set to be not less than the sensing time corresponding to the second sensing operation, so as to ensure that the noise of the common source line is low, and ensure that the reading accuracy is high.
Accordingly, an embodiment of the present application further provides a flash memory device, and referring to fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of the flash memory device provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, where the flash memory device includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array, and further includes:

Specifically, when it is determined that the nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell array is not read from all the memory cells and a preset number of memory cells are read, the processing unit 200 is configured to apply a voltage to the corresponding word lines of the memory cells and perform a preset sensing operation on the preset number of memory cells, where the voltage applied to the word lines during the preset sensing operation is the same as the voltage applied to the word lines during the first sensing operation and the second sensing operation, and the sensing time corresponding to the preset sensing operation is not less than the sensing time corresponding to the second sensing operation.
