    Abstract: Method for refreshing data stored in an electrically erasable and programmable non-volatile semiconductor memory comprising at least one two-dimensional array (1) of memory cells (MC) containing a plurality of individually erasable and programmable memory pages (R). Each time a request to modify a content of a memory page is received by the memory, the method provides for modifying (201;502;602) the content of said memory page and submitting a portion (S1-SZ;R) of the two-dimensional array to a refresh procedure (202-208;501,503-509;601,603-612). The refresh procedure comprises detecting (203;505;606) memory cells of that memory portion that have partially lost a respective datum stored therein and reprogramming the datum in the detected memory cells.

    Abstract: During critical plasma etching steps, the wafer's surface is illuminated with electromagnetic radiation in the visible and/or in UV spectrum of energy and power density sufficient to enhance the reverse current through protective junctions that are commonly realized for providing electrical discharge paths for electrical charges picked up by exposed conductive parts to limit the level of induced voltages to values compatible with the preservation of the integrity of functional dielectric layers coupled to the exposed conductors parts and to the semiconductor substrate or to another conductive part.
