    摘要: A refresh method for a semiconductor memory device features high noise resistance, lower power consumption, and lower cost. All word lines of one or more memory cell blocks that have not been selected in a self refresh mode are controlled to have a floating potential substantially at ground level. Even when a word line and a bit line are short-circuited, this control prevents destruction of memory cell information, which may be caused by noise, and also prevents generation of leakage current. A fuse, etc., for preventing generation of leakage current is unnecessary, so that lower cost is realized.

    摘要: The step of forming an opening in an insulating layer to expose a carbon nanotube layer is performed using two types of dry etching different from each other in conditions. In the first-stage dry etching step, a hole is formed in the insulating layer to such a depth as not exposing the carbon nanotube layer. Thereafter, in the second-stage dry etching step, a bottom surface portion of the hole is removed, thus exposing an upper surface of the carbon nanotube layer. A method of manufacturing an electron emission source capable of improving performance of an electron emission portion is thus obtained.

    摘要: It is an object to provide a semiconductor memory device that can conduct the equalizing operation of bit lines with a low current consumption while maintaining a normal accessing speed and the chip area, and a control method thereof. In a semiconductor memory device of the shared sense amplification system, in a predetermined number of times which is (k−1) times or less among k-times of continuous word line selections of a selected memory block, the bit line separation gate of the unselected memory block is rendered conductive in the active period of the equalizing unit after the word line selection. Also, a circuit that equalizes a wiring higher in the capacity component is driven by a higher voltage level according to the wiring capacity component of the sense amplification power supply line and the bit lines, to thereby equalize the power supply line and the bit line in the equal time, thereby being capable of preventing the short-circuiting within the sense amplifier.

    摘要: During an erasing sequence, after a preprogram operation (S1), an erasing operation (S3), and an APDE operation (S5) are executed and confirmation by an APDE verify operation (S6: P) and confirmation by an erase-verify operation (S7: P) are completed, step A is executed prior to a soft-program operation (S10) of a plurality of memory cells. A dummy memory cell program operation (S8) is continuously executed until a completion of a program operation is confirmed by a dummy memory cell program verify operation (S9). By execution of the program operation on the dummy memory cells, a voltage stress similar to that of a program operation is applied to memory cells in an over-erased state via bit lines. Thereby, the over-erased state is reduced thereby lowering a column leak current. Erroneous recognition during a soft-program verify operation (S11) can be prevented, and excessive soft-programming can be avoided.

    摘要: An input current flowing into a current-voltage conversion circuit (1) is converted to a voltage value at an output terminal SAIN and, then, a differential amplification circuit (5) amplifies and outputs a differential voltage between the voltage value and the reference voltage Vref. PMOS and NMOS transistors T1, T2 are connected between the output terminal SAIN and the power-supply voltage VCC. After the output terminal SAIN is precharged to the power-supply voltage VCC by making the transistors conductive, the current-voltage conversion operation is performed by making a voltage drop corresponding to the input current. The precharge operation precharges the output terminal SAIN up to the power-supply voltage VCC and supplies precharge to a common data line N3 and bit lines.
