A NAND cell type EEPROM has bit lines, each of which is associated with a NAND cell unit including a series array of four memory cell transistors. Each transistor is a MOSFET with a control gate and a floating gate for data storage. The memory cell transistors are connected at their control gates to word lines, respectively. One end of the NAND cell unit is connected through a first select transistor to a corresponding bit line; the other end thereof is connected via a second select transistor to a source voltage. The memory cell transistors and the select transistors are arranged in a well region formed in a substrate. In an erase mode, the bit line voltage, the substrate voltage and the well voltage are held at a high voltage, whereas the word lines are at zero volts. The gate potential of the select transistors is held at the high voltage, whereby the internal electric field of these select transistors is weakened to improve the dielectric breakdown characteristic thereof.

An erasable programmable read-only memory with NAND cell structure is disclosed which has memory cells provided on a N type substrate. The memory cells are divided into NAND cell blocks each of which has a series array of memory cell transistors. Each of the transistors has a floating gate, a control gate connected to a word line and N type diffusion layers serving as its source and drain. These semiconductor layers are formed in a P type well layer formed in a surface area of a substrate. The well layer serves as a surface breakdown prevention layer. During a data erase mode data stored in all the memory cells are erased simultaneously. During the data write mode subsequent to the erase mode, when a certain NAND cell block is selected, memory cells in the NAND cell block are subjected to data writing in sequence. When data is written into a certain memory cell in the selected NAND cell block, a control gate of the certain memory cell is supplied with a voltage which is so high as to form a strong electric field to allow the tunneling of electrons between the floating gate of the memory cell and the well layer. Consequently, only the selected cell can be written into.
