Abstract

A pseudo-dynamic operating method and a flash memory cell capable of performing this operating method are disclosed. A parasitic capacitor near the drain terminal of the flash memory can be charged in few microseconds during operation. Interference generated between the floating gate and the source is avoided by using a first oxide layer which is thicker at the interface between floating gate and source and thinner near central part under stacked gate.
