    摘要: A non-volatile SRAM memory cell and a non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of programming SRAM data in a SRAM (15) to a non-volatile memory unit (16) through fast operation of the SRAM (15) are disclosed. A non-volatile semiconductor memory device (1) can achieve reduction in a voltage necessary for a programming operation to program SRAM data to the non-volatile memory unit (16). Thus, a first access transistor (21 a), a second access transistor (21 b), a first load transistor (22a), a second load transistor (22b), a first drive transistor (23a), and a second drive transistor (23b) included in the SRAM (15) connected with the non-volatile memory unit (16) can each include a gate insulating film having a thickness less than or equal to 4 nm, which achieves fast operation of the SRAM (15) at a lower power supply voltage.

    摘要: A voltage applied to a bit line (BL1) or a voltage applied to a source line (SL) is reduced to a value that allows a first select gate structure (5) or a second select gate structure (6) to block electrical connection between the bit line (BL1) and a channel layer (CH) or between the source line (SL) and the channel layer (CH), irrespective of a charge storage gate voltage needed to inject charge into a charge storage layer (EC) by a quantum tunneling effect. In accordance with the reduction in voltage(s) applied to the bit line (BL1) and the source line (SL), thickness of a first select gate insulating film (30) of the first select gate structure (5) and thickness of a second select gate insulating film (33) of the second select gate structure (6) are reduced. High-speed operation is achieved correspondingly. In accordance with the reduction in voltage(s) applied to the bit line (BL1) and the source line (SL), thickness of a gate insulating film of a field effect transistor in a peripheral circuit that controls a memory cell is reduced. The area of the peripheral circuit is reduced correspondingly.
