摘要: In a non-volatile phase change memory, information is recorded by utilizing a change in resistance of a phase change portion. When the phase change portion is allowed to generate Joule's heat and is held at a specific temperature, it goes into a state of a low resistance. When the gate voltage of a memory cell selection transistor QM is controlled to afford a low resistance state, the maximum amount of current applied to the phase change portion is limited by the application of a medium-state voltage to the control gate, thereby avoiding overheating of the phase change portion.

摘要: With a high-speed nonvolatile phase change memory, reliability in respect of the number of refresh times is enhanced. In a memory cell forming area of a phase change memory using a MISFET as a transistor for selection of memory cells, a phase change material layer of a memory cell comprising a resistor element, using a phase change material, is formed for common use.

摘要: In a non-volatile phase change memory, information is recorded by utilizing a change in resistance of a phase change portion. When the phase change portion is allowed to generate Joule's heat and is held at a specific temperature, it goes into a state of a low resistance. At this time, if a constant voltage source is used, not only the phase change portion assumes a state of a low resistance, but also a large current flows, so that a sample concerned is overheated and goes into a state of a high resistance. Thus, it is difficult to make the phase change portion low in resistance stably. When the gate voltage of a memory cell selection transistor QM is controlled with MISFET to afford a low resistance state, the maximum amount of current applied to the sample is limited by the application of a medium-state voltage.
