Abstract:
A method for setting voltages in a flash memory for high temperature operating life (HTOL) testing is provided. The flash memory includes a substrate, a source, and a control gate. The method includes adjusting the voltages that are applied to the source, the control gate, and the substrate, such that there is no voltage difference between the control gate and the source, and no voltage difference between the control gate and the substrate. Specifically, adjusting the voltages includes setting the voltage that is applied to the source to a ground voltage, setting the voltage that is applied to the control gate to the ground voltage, and setting the voltage that is applied to the substrate to a power supply voltage.
