ABSTRACT:
A nonvolatile memory cell with a charge trapping structure coupled in series is read, by measuring current that flows between the body region of the nonvolatile memory cell and the contact region of the nonvolatile memory cell. The charge storage state of the charge trapping structure affects the measured current.
