    摘要: A phase change memory is provided with a write data register, an output data selector, a write address register, an address comparator and a flag register. Write data is not only written into a memory cell but also retained by the write data register until the next write cycle. If a read access occurs to that address before the next write cycle, data is read out from the register without reading the data from the memory cell array. Without elongating the cycle time, it is possible not only to use a long time to write data into a memory cell therein but also to make longer the interval between the time when a write operation is done and the time when the subsequent read operation is made from that memory cell. As a result, data can be written reliably.

    摘要: A semiconductor non volatile memory device capable of multiple write operations with high reliability is implemented. The memory device includes memory cells, each comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and an information storage section put between the two electrodes, wherein an operation to feed a first pulse current from the first electrode to the second, and another operation to feed a second pulse current from the second electrode to the first. A segregation of composing elements of the information storage section is caused by applying the first pulse, however, the segregation of elements is resolved by applying the second pulse, and the composition of the element recovers to the original state.

    摘要: To improve the reliability of the phase change element, unwanted current should not be flown into the element. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a memory cell that stores information depending on a change in its state caused by applied heat, as well as an input/output circuit, and to turn off the word line until the power supply circuit is activated. According to the present invention, unwanted current flow to the element can be prevented and thereby data destruction can be prevented.
