Abstract(in English) The boost type sensing scheme and the new block erase verify method for the ACT type flash memory using a virtual ground array are proposed in order to decrease the erase and program verify time. The boost type sensing and the new block erase verify operation are confirmed by using circuit simulations. The simulation results have shown that the discharge time is decreased by this method in compared with the conventional sensing scheme. The erase verify time and power consumption are improved by using the new block erase verify method.
