Abstract:
A method for detecting a flash memory array includes a plurality of word lines, a plurality of bit lines, and a source line, includes executing a first detection process. The first detection process includes: applying a first positive voltage to a P-type well of the flash memory array; applying a ground to all the word lines; floating the bit lines and the source line; determining whether a leakage current flowing through the P-type well exceeds a leakage threshold; and when the leakage current exceeds the leakage threshold, determining that at least one of the word lines is short-circuited with at least one of the bit lines or the source line.

Claim (Index 16):
The device of  claim 14 , wherein after the step of executing the third detection process, the method further comprises executing a fourth detection process, wherein the fourth detection process comprises:\n applying a fourth positive voltage to the selected word line, such that memory cells on the selected word line are not turned ON; sequentially selecting one of the bit lines as a selected bit line, wherein the rest of the bit lines are unselected bit lines; discharging the selected bit line to the ground with a fourth constant current; floating the source line and the unselected bit lines; determining whether the selected bit line is in the high logic level or the low logic level; and when the selected bit line is in the high logic level, determining that the selected bit line is short-circuited with the selected word line.
