Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to program and erase memory structures and methods of manufacture. The semiconductor memory includes: a charge trap transistor; and a self-heating circuit which selectively applies voltages to terminals of the charge trap transistor to assist in erase operations of the charge trap transistor.
