    摘要: A data storage system, which includes a plurality of pages, each of which includes a plurality of first memory cells, from which at least binary data can be read-out a plurality of times without destruction; a circuit which receives data-output of at least one first page, detects an error in at least one bit of data, and outputs information of the error position; another circuit which determines whether data of an error bit is “1” or “0”. When the determination is “1” or “0”, the first memory cell of the first page is erased, and error-corrected data is written.

    摘要: A cell array is configured by arranging a plurality of electrically writable erasable nonvolatile memory cells on a semiconductor substrate. Each of the memory cells has a charge accumulation layer formed via a first gate insulating film and a gate electrode formed on the charge accumulation layer via a second gate insulating film. A control circuit controls the sequence of writing and erasing the data into and from a memory cell selected in the memory cell. In writing the data into the memory cell, a first write operation is to apply a write pulse voltage with a first step-up voltage between the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate. A second write operation is to apply a write pulse voltage with a second step-up voltage lower than the first step-up voltage.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device having a memory cell region and a peripheral circuit region, and a method of manufacturing such a semiconductor memory device, are proposed, in which trench grooves are formed to be shallow in the memory cell region in order to improve the yield, and trench grooves are formed to be deep in the high voltage transistor region of the peripheral circuit region, in particular in a high voltage transistor region thereof, in order to improve the element isolation withstand voltage. A plurality of memory cell transistors having an ONO layer 15 serving as a charge accumulating insulating layer are provided in the memory cell region, where element isolation grooves 6 for these memory cell transistors are narrow and shallow. Two types of transistors, one for high voltage and the other for low voltage, having gate insulating layers 16 or 17, which are different from the ONO layer 15 in the memory cell region, are provided in the peripheral circuit region, where at least element isolation grooves 23 for high voltage transistors are wide and deep. In this way, it is possible to improve the degree of integration and yield in the memory cell region, and secure withstand voltage in the peripheral circuit region.
