    摘要: A sense circuit for use in a semiconductor memory senses an input signal by comparing the input signal with a reference voltage. The sense circuit comprises a sense amplifier having first and second nodes, and first and second transfer gates. The first transfer gate couples the input signal to the first node of the sense amplifier. The second transfer gate couples the reference voltage to the second node of the sense amplifier. A level-shift circuit is provided between the second node of the sense amplifier and the second transfer gate. In response to the voltage level of the input signal latched in the first node, the level-shift circuit shifts the level of the reference voltage latched in the second node of the sense amplifier to a lower level when the input signal is high in voltage level, and shifts it to a higher level when the input signal is low in voltage level.

    摘要: When a data erase operation is performed in one memory cell block, a first voltage is applied to one source line selected from m source lines in the one memory cell block. A second voltage equal to a voltage of the source lines before the data erase operation begins is applied to the other source lines. Then, after a certain time delay from application of the first voltage, a third voltage smaller than the first voltage is applied to a third conductive layer of a source-side selection transistor connected to a selected source line. Then, a hole current is produced near a third gate insulation layer due to a potential difference between the first and third voltage. A fourth voltage is applied to one of first conductive layers connected to one of the memory transistor to be erased. The other first conductive layers are brought into a floating state.
