摘要
In this paper, a new methodology is developed, and applied thereafter, to predict the disturb characteristics of an arbitrary Flash (EPROM)-P-2 device which are related to steady-state stress induced leakage current (SILC) [1], This prediction methodology is based on a quantitative model for steady-state SILC, which has been developed on capacitors and nFET's as was reported earlier in Part I, Here, this model is shown to be also valid for tunnel oxide Flash (EPROM)-P-2 devices, and used thereafter in a consistent and well-understood cell optimization procedure. The model requires as only input basic cell parameters and an oxide qualification obtained at the capacitor and transistor level.
