METHOD OF FLASH MEMORY DESIGN WITH DIFFERENTIAL CELL FOR BETTER ENDURANCE

A flash memory system includes a first flash memory cell having a first floating gate, a first source region, and a first control gate. The first control gate is connected to a word line. The first flash memory cell includes a first oxide layer separating the first control gate from the first floating gate and a first drain region connecting to a first bit line. The flash memory system also includes a second flash memory cell having a second floating gate, a second source region, and a second control gate. The second control gate is connected to the word line. The second flash memory cell includes a second oxide layer separating the second control gate from the second floating gate and a second drain region connecting to a second bit line. A comparator processes a first and second input signals received from the respective first and second bit lines.
