Patent abstract
An operation to erase a nitride read only memory (NROM) memory block starts by erasing the memory block. An erase verify operation can then be performed to determine the success of the erase. If a read operation is performed and column current is detected, a high-efficiency recovery operation is performed. If the read operation is performed and column current is not detected, the erase operation has been successfully completed.
