    摘要: A nonvolatile memory apparatus which includes plural memories one of which is a nonvolatile memory such as a Flash EEPROM capable of being specified a plurality of operations from a processing unit of the apparatus including an erase operation, the erase operation in the nonvolatile memory performs a threshold voltage moving operation and a verify operation, and the nonvolatile memory is capable of releasing the I/O bus during the erase operation to thereby allow accessing of other memories and/or system components. For example, during this erase operation, the Flash EEPROM is able to free the I/O data terminal such that the EEPROM becomes electrically isolated from the CPU. The CPU is then able to perform data processing by the system bus where information can then be transferred/received such as between other memories, e.g., ROM and RAM, and otherwise with the I/O port.

    摘要: An EEPROM having an erasing control circuit that performs at least the read out operation one time on the corresponding memory cells after an erasing operation is performed in connection therewith. The erasing operation is automatically performed by the internal erasing control circuit while the EEPROM is electrically isolated from the microprocessor in response to instructions from the microprocessor. The control by the microprocessor requires only a slightly short period of time during which the erasing commencement is instructed while the EEPROM remains in the system during the erasing operation. In one aspect of the disclosure, a Vcc power source is applied to a source region or a drain region of each nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell, and an erasure voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the Vcc power source is applied to a control gate electrode.

    摘要: Within an EEPROM having a memory array in which the electrically erasable nonvolatile storage elements are arranged in a matrix form, an erasing control circuit is included, which performs at least the read out operation one time on the corresponding memory cells after an erasing operation is performed in connection therewith in accordance with externally supplied erasing operation instructions. The erasing operation is automatically performed by the internal erasing control circuit while the EEPROM is electrically isolated from the microprocessor in response to instructions from the microprocessor. The control by the microprocessor requires only a slightly short period of time during which the erasing commencement is instructed while the EEPROM remains in the system during the erasing operation. In one aspect of the present invention, a Vcc power source is applied to a source region or a drain region of each nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell, and an erasure voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the Vcc power source is applied to a control gate electrode. The erasure voltage is supplied to a voltage conversion circuit provided within the nonvolatile memory device. Accordingly, erasure operation can be realized by the Vcc single power source. Further, substantial terminals of the collective erasure operation are individually controlled for every memory element or every collective memory element in response to the individual erasure speed of each memory element.

    摘要: An electrically erasable semiconductor nonvolatile memory device has an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns and one or more information erasure signal generating circuits. Each of the memory cells of the memory cell array includes a field-effect transistor element having a control gate connected with a word line conductor extending in a direction of the rows, a floating gate where carriers may be accumulated, a drain connected with a data line conductor extending in the direction of the columns and a source connected with a source conductor. The memory cell array may be divided into a plurality of memory blocks so as to have boundaries in the row direction or in the column direction, with the source conductors arranged in the row direction or in the column direction. Information erasure signals may be supplied to the source conductors or data line conductors with a time delay therebetween.

    摘要: A metallic material containing both a second constituent and a third constituent having positive and negative heats of mixing relative to a first constituent, respectively, and including a compound, an alloy or a nonequilibrium alloy having a melting point that is higher than the solidifying point of a metal bath made of the first constituent is placed in the metal bath. The metal bath is controlled to a temperature lower than a minimum value of a liquidus temperature within a range of compositional variations in which the amount of the third constituent in the metallic material decreases down to a point where the metallic material becomes substantially the second constituent so that the third constituent is selectively dissolved into the metal bath.
