    摘要: Suppressing a leakage current is required in a flash memory because the channel length is made shorter with a reduction in the memory cell size. In an AND type memory array having an assist electrode, although the memory cell area has been reduced by the field isolation using a MOS transistor, leakage current in the channel direction becomes greater with a reduction in the memory cell size, resulting in problems arising like deterioration of programming characteristics, an increase in the current consumption, and reading failure. To achieve the objective, in the present invention, electrical isolation is performed by controlling at least one assist electrode of the assist electrodes wired in parallel to be a negative voltage during program and read operations and by making the semiconductor substrate surface in the vicinity of the aforementioned assist electrode non-conductive.

    摘要: Reliability of a semiconductor device having a nonvolatile memory comprising first through third gate electrodes is enhanced. With a flash memory having first gate electrodes (floating gate electrodes), second gate electrodes (control gate electrodes) and third gate electrodes, isolation parts are formed in a self-aligned manner against patterns of a conductor film for forming the third gate electrodes by filling up the respective isolation grooves and a gate insulator film for select nMISes in a peripheral circuit region is formed prior to the formation of the isolation parts. By so doing, deficiency with the gate insulator film for the select nMISes, caused by stress occurring to the isolation parts, can be reduced. Further, with the semiconductor device including the case of stacked memory cells, the patterns of the conductor film for forming the third gate electrodes, serving as a mask for forming the isolation parts in the self-aligned manner, can be formed without misalignment against channels.

    摘要: A leakage current flowing between data lines of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory is reduced. In a memory array of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device having an AND type flash memory, a concave portion is formed in a junction isolation area between adjacent word limes and between adjacent assist gate wirings AGL, and the height of a main surface (first main surface) of a semiconductor substrate in the region where the concave portion is formed is made lower than that of the main surface (second main surface) of the semiconductor substrate to which an assist gate wiring is facing. As a result, it is possible to control the leakage current that flows between the drain line and source line in the aforementioned junction isolation region during operation of a flash memory.

In a semiconductor memory device, a gate insulating film, a channel extending in a direction X, and a resistance change element extending in the direction X are formed successively above multiple word lines extending in a direction Y, and a portion of the channel and a portion of the resistance change element are disposed above each of the plurality of the word lines. Such configuration can decrease the cell area and ensure the degree of design freedom.
