Abstract
A memory storage device including a flash memory and a controller circuit is provided. The flash memory includes a plurality of memory cells. Each of the memory cells includes a substrate, a drain terminal, a source terminal, and a gate terminal. The controller circuit is coupled to the flash memory. The controller circuit is configured to perform a first erase operation on the memory cells to obtain a first erase threshold voltage distribution, and perform a program operation on the memory cells to obtain a program threshold voltage distribution. The first erase threshold voltage distribution is larger than a first target voltage. The program threshold voltage distribution is smaller than a second target voltage. The first target voltage is larger than the second target voltage. A writing method of a flash memory is also provided.
