摘要: For data erase from an electrically erasable and programmable non-volatile memory cell, the following operations are performed: an erase operation to apply an erase pulse voltage to a memory cell for data erase, an erase verify operation to verify whether data erase is completed, and a step-up operation to increase the erase pulse voltage by a certain step-up voltage if data erase is not completed. A control unit controls voltages so that at least a first erase pulse voltage initially generated in the erase operation has a longer rise time than that of a second erase pulse voltage generated subsequent to the first erase pulse voltage.

摘要: According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises a first memory cell, a second memory cell, and a control circuit. The first memory cell is connected to a first word line. The second memory cell is connected to a second word line which is adjacent to the first word line and has a width different from a width of the first word line. The control circuit applies a first voltage to the first word line and a second voltage different from the first voltage to the second word line. At least one of the first voltage and the second voltage is corrected by the control circuit based on write loop counts of the first memory cell and the second memory cell when the first memory cell and the second memory cell are write target cells in a write operation.

摘要: A control circuit executes an erase operation that includes an erase pulse application operation and an erase verify operation. The erase pulse application operation applies an erase pulse voltage to a memory cell to change the memory cell from a write state to an erase state. The erase verify operation applies an erase verify voltage to the memory cell to judge whether the memory cell is in the erase state or not. The control circuit changes conditions of execution of the erase verify operation when the number of times of executions of the erase pulse application operation in one erase operation reaches a first number.

摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a control circuit configured to control a soft program operation of setting nonvolatile memory cells to a first threshold voltage distribution state of the nonvolatile memory cells. When a characteristic of the nonvolatile memory cells is in a first state, the control circuit executes the soft program operation by applying a first voltage for setting the nonvolatile memory cells to the first threshold voltage distribution state to first word lines, and applying a second voltage higher than the first voltage to a second word line. When the characteristic of the nonvolatile memory cells is in a second state, the control circuit executes the soft program operation by applying a third voltage equal to or lower than the first voltage to the first word lines and applying a fourth voltage lower than the second voltage to the second word line.

摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device in accordance with an embodiment includes a memory cell array. A control unit performs control of repeating a write operation, a write verify operation, and a step-up operation, the write operation being an operation to apply a write pulse voltage to a selected memory cell and an intermediate voltage to an unselected memory cell. The control unit controls the step-up operation such that, in a first period, the intermediate voltage is maintained at a constant value, and, in a second period, the intermediate voltage is raised by a certain value. The control unit controls the step-up operation such that the first period includes an operation to raise the write pulse voltage by a first step-up value, and the second period includes an operation to raise the write pulse voltage by a second step-up value smaller than the first step-up value.
