摘要:
According to the present invention, there is provided a non-volatile semiconductor memory device including a memory cell array in which a plurality of memory cells are arranged, wherein the memory cells contain two or more types of memory cells, which differs in gate couple ratio. Each memory cell includes source-drain regions provided apart from each other in a semiconductor substrate having a conductivity type, the source-drain regions having a conductivity type opposite to that of the semiconductor substrate, a floating gate provided above a channel region formed between the source-drain regions, and a control gate provided above a surface of the floating gate, and the memory cells contain two or more types of memory cells, which differ in relation to an area of a region in which the floating gate and the control gate overlap. The memory cells having a low gate couple ratio exhibit characteristics similar to those of a mask ROM, which gives priority to reading, whereas the memory cells having a high gate couple ratio, exhibit excellent programming and erasing characteristics.

A non-volatile semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of memory cells each including a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type having a main surface region, a control gate portion formed in said main surface region of the semiconductor substrate and consisting of an impurity diffusion region of a second conductivity type opposite to said first conductivity type, a reading transistor portion formed on the main surface region of the substrate and consisting of a MOS type transistor structure, and a floating gate portion formed over the control gate portion and the reading transistor portion. These memory cells differ from each other in an overlapping area ratio Ap/An, where An denotes an area of an over-lapping portion between the floating gate and the impurity diffusion region of the control gate portion, Ap represents an area of an overlapping portion between the floating gate and an active region of the reading transistor portion.

One verify cell is connected to one word line, together with a plurality of array cells, and has a threshold value almost the same as the array cells. A write voltage or an erase voltage is applied to the array cells, setting the voltage applied to the verify cell at a small value, thereby electrically changing the threshold value of the verify cell. Alternatively, the sense ratio of a sense amplifier is changed with respect to the output of the verify cell and the output of a reference cell, thereby electrically changing the apparent threshold value of the verify cell. Data is thereby written into or erased from the array cells earlier than into or from the verify cell. Hence, the verification of the memory cells is accomplished by when the verify cell is verified.

A tunnel oxide film is formed on the surface of a p-type silicon substrate, and a floating gate electrode made from a polysilicon film is formed on the surface of the tunnel oxide film. On the surface of the floating gate electrode, a control gate electrode is formed via an NON film formed by sequentially stacking a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film, and a silicon nitride film. A side oxide film is formed on the side surfaces of the floating gate electrode and the control gate electrode. Source and drain regions made from an n-type diffused layer are formed on the surfaces of element regions of the silicon substrate on the two sides of the floating gate electrodes.

An information reading method includes the steps of irradiating a phosphor activated by neodymium and ytterbium ions with exciting light of a wavelength between 500 nm and 780 nm that can excite the neodymium ions, and reading the information by receiving the light emitted from the phosphor with a photodetector designed to detect light with wavelengths between 840 m and 1100 nm. Consequently, the information recorded using the phosphor activated by neodymium and ytterbium ions can be read with a high performance without using a filter for cutting the exciting light.
