    摘要: A memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells each of which has a control gate and a floating gate. A programming circuit operates in a first programming mode followed by a second programming mode. In the first programming mode, the programming circuit applies a first program pulse to first memory cells while progressively increasing a programming capability of the first program pulse until threshold voltages of the first memory cells become higher than or equal to a first reference voltage. In the second programming mode, the programming circuit applies a second program pulse to second memory cells included in the first memory cells and having threshold voltages lower than a second reference voltage that is higher than the first reference voltage until the threshold voltages of the second memory cells become higher than or equal to the second reference voltage.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory is provided with a memory cell region and a peripheral circuit region. The memory cell region includes semiconductor memory cells arranged in an array and element separating shield electrodes. The element separating shield electrodes extend in a column direction and separate semiconductor memory cells being adjacent to each other in a row direction. Further, a peripheral circuit sending and receiving data to and from the semiconductor memory cell is provided in the peripheral circuit region. Elements in the peripheral circuit are separated by an element separation insulating film. The element separating shield electrodes extend onto the element separation insulating film at a boundary between the memory cell region and the peripheral circuit region.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device with a contactless array structure has bit-lines formed in a semiconductor substrate by diffusion of an impurity. Word-lines (control gates) are formed on the substrate so as to intersect the bit-lines. Floating gates are disposed in intersecting regions between the bit- and word-lines. Regions of higher resistance extend in parallel to the bit-lines located on both sides of a floating gates and located in an offset manner relative to the floating gate. A thick dielectric film is formed between the regions of higher resistance and word-lines. In this semiconductor memory device, a source side injection method with higher efficiency can be utilized for electron injection to a floating gate (programming) and thereby a lower programming voltage, less power consumption, and higher degree of integration are achieved.

    摘要: A semiconductor device including memory cells isolated by a trench that may be self aligned with a stacked film pattern (7) has been disclosed. The memory cells may be flash memory cells having an active gate film (2) that may be thinner than a gate oxide film (30). The active gate film (2) may be located in a central portion under of a gate electrode (3). The gate oxide film (30) may be located under end portions of the gate electrode (3). In this way, a distance between a shoulder portion of a trench (11) and a gate electrode (3) may be increased. Thus, an electric field concentration in the shoulder portion of the trench (11) may be decreased and memory cell characteristics may be improved.
