    摘要: A plurality of nonvolatile memory cells having gates connected to a same word line, respectively, are connected in series, and connected to adjacent bit lines, respectively. When data is sequentially written to the plurality of nonvolatile memory cells, a bit line select circuit sequentially supplies a write potential outputted from a predetermined potential generation circuit to a plurality of bit lines. The bit line to which the write potential has been supplied once is kept to have the potential. Due to this, this nonvolatile semiconductor memory device can reduce an area occupied by a memory cell array.

    摘要: A plurality of sense amplifiers are connected to a selected bit line. Each sense amplifier is supplied with a residual current corresponding to a current flowing in a memory cell and a reference current serving as a reference for a threshold voltage of the memory cell to sense the currents. Operations of the sense amplifiers are controlled such that different sense margins are provided to different sense amplifiers and a margin failure is detected according to coincidence/non-coincidence in logical level between output signals of the sense amplifiers. The address of a memory cell with the margin failure is registered. With such a construction, a threshold voltage defect of a non-volatile memory cell is compensated for to enable internal reading of memory cell data with correctness.

    摘要: In an SDRAM, a column decoder is split into four blocks, and a specific predecode signal is allocated to each block. A sub power supply line is provided in correspondence to each block, and a P-channel MOS transistor, having a relatively high threshold voltage, rendered conductive in response to the corresponding predecode signal is connected between the sub power supply line and a main power supply line. A power supply potential is supplied to only a selected block, for reducing a leakage current.

    摘要: When a non-volatile memory cell which can store two bits per one memory cell and pass current bidirectionally is used, a bias power source potential is provided also to a bit line BL4 adjacent to two bit lines (BL2 and BL2) passing a sense current BL2 and BL3. Switch units are provided corresponding to each bit line for selectively connect to any one of a ground power source line, read power source line or bias power source line. The current flowing from a sense amplifier circuit to the adjacent bit line BL4 via adjacent memory cell can be reduced, and thus the current in the sense amplifier circuit is stabilized quickly. Accordingly, a non-volatile semiconductor memory device allows high-speed data reading operation.

    摘要: Shape dummy cells that are designed to have the same dimensions and structures as MTJ memory cells are additionally provided in the peripheral portion of an MTJ memory cell array in which normal MTJ memory cells for storing data are arranged in a matrix. The MTJ memory cells and the shape dummy cells are sequentially arranged so as to have a uniform pitch throughout the entirety. Accordingly, non-uniformity between MTJ memory cells in the center portion and in border portions of the MTJ memory cell array, respectively, after manufacture due to high and low densities of the surrounding memory cells can be eliminated.
