Abstract: A reference cell for reading EEPROM memory devices, capable of discharging any charges present in its own floating gate (3) without varying the geometry of the cell with respect to that of the associated memory cells and without requiring specific manufacturing steps. For this purpose, a switch element, for example a diode (D1), is provided between the floating gate (3) and the substrate (11) of the device and discharges any charges present in the floating gate toward the substrate during the cell idle state (in the absence of read signals)

Abstract: A circuit structure for a matrix of EEPROM memory cells, being of a type which comprises a matrix of cells (2) including plural rows (3) and columns (4), with each row (3) being provided with a word line (WL) and a control gate line (CG) and each column (4) having a bit line (BL); the bit lines (BL), moreover, are gathered into groups or bytes (9) of simultaneously addressable adjacent lines. Each cell (2) in the matrix incorporates a floating gate transistor (12) which is coupled to a control gate (8), connected to the control gate line (CG), and is connected serially to a selection transistor (5); also, the cells (2) of each individual byte (9) share their respective source areas (6), which areas are structurally independent for each byte (9) and are led to a corresponding source addressing line (SL) extending along a matrix column (7).

Abstract: The manufacturing process comprises a first step of formation of an N type sink (2) on a single-crystal silicon substrate (1), a second step of formation of an active area (14) on the surface of said sink (2), a third step of implantation of N- dopant in a surface region (4) of the sink (2) inside said active area (14), a fourth step of growth of a layer (5) of gate oxide over said region with N- dopant, a fifth step of N+ implantation (6; 9) inside said N- region, a sixth step of P+ implantation (7; 12) in a laterally displaced position with respect to said N+ region and a seventh step of formation of external contacts (8, 18; 13, 23, 33) for said N+ and P+ regions. There is thus obtained a zener diode limiter, having a cut-off voltage which is stable over time and not much dependent on temperature and which does not require the addition of process steps with respect to those usually necessary for the accomplishment of EEPROM memory cells.

Abstract: The EEPROM memory cell with 100% redundancy includes two tunnel storage elements (10, 18; 26, 30) which are connected in parallel between a common source voltage (16) and an enabling transistor (22) which is controlled by a transfer terminal (24) and leads to a bit line (14), with respective sensing transistors (12, 28) arranged in series with respect to the storage elements. According to the invention, the cell furthermore includes an auxiliary enabling transistor (40) which is arranged in series on the source and is controlled by the transfer terminal.
