The floating gate 32 is formed on the tunneling oxide layer 31; the polysilicon dielectric layer 33 is formed on the floating gate 32; the control gate 34 is formed on the tunneling oxide layer 31 and is connected to an area word line. As can be seen from Fig. 3, the drain 3 〇〇 and the source 3 各 of each memory cell 2 〇 4 can be shared with adjacent memory cells. The memory cell 2〇4 can be formed by a self-aligned process of the floating gate with respect to the source and the drain. It can also be further advanced by a self-aligned process of a source relative to the control gate. In the memory array described in the first embodiment, the programming, erasing, and reading of each memory unit are performed by selecting a memory area to be operated via a global bit line and a global word line, and then further The area bit line and the area word line select the memory unit to be operated. With such a selection method, the interference of the memory cells in different areas can be avoided, and the operation time can be greatly reduced. The burning mode is programmed by a closed state hot electron injection (〇ff_state h〇t 10 200921681 electron injectlon), and the closed state hot electron injection mode is collapsed by a gate auxiliary junction ((10) heart... (4) The finer (10) breakdown) mechanism is completed. The word line of the selected plurality of memory cells is applied with a positive voltage, the word line of the unselected plurality of memory cells is applied with a -first negative voltage, and the source is applied with a second negative voltage. The absolute value of the second negative voltage is greater than the first negative voltage, so that the isolation between the selected and unselected suffix units is true. When the burning operation is completed, the reading process is performed at least once to confirm whether the threshold voltage value of the unit is greater than or equal to a specific voltage value. If the critical voltage value is not greater than or equal to the specific voltage value, the control voltage or the no-pole voltage will be changed to be burned again until the threshold voltage value of the memory cell is greater than or equal to the specific voltage value, and the programming is completed. The erase mode of each e-memory unit is erased by an electronic follow-up method. The gates of the selected plurality of memory cells are applied with the removed voltage, the floating lines are floated, the voltage of the source is applied with uv, and the voltage of the n well region is applied with a voltage of 11V, and the plurality of memories are not selected. The cell is applied with a voltage of 6V, the bit line is floated, the source is applied with a voltage of ι1ν, and the well area is applied with a voltage of 11V for the erase step. During the erasing process, at least one reading process is performed to confirm whether the threshold voltage value of the memory cell is less than or equal to a specific voltage value, which is usually _41¥. If the threshold voltage value is not less than or equal to the specific voltage value, the control voltage or the gate voltage will be changed to be erased again until the threshold voltage value of the memory cell is greater than or equal to the specific voltage value, and the erasing is completed.
