    摘要: There is achieved a high-integrated and high-speed nonvolatile memory which can stabilize an operation of a phase-change memory for a short operation cycle time. A latch is provided in a write driver. A change to a high-resistance state of a phase-change element is performed per column cycle by a write-enable signal, and a change to a low-resistance state thereof is performed after a pre-charge command is inputted and concurrently with deactivation of a pre-charge signal. Thereby, a write time to a memory cell in which phase-change resistance is changed to a low-resistance state, and a period from a write operation for changing the phase-change resistance to a high-resistance state to a read operation to the above memory cell can be lengthened without extending the column cycle time, so that the stable write operation is achieved.

    摘要: A semiconductor non volatile memory device capable of multiple write operations with high reliability includes memory cells. Each memory cell of the device has a first electrode, a second electrode, and an information storage section between the two electrodes. A segregation of composing elements of the information storage section caused by applying a first current pulse from the first electrode to the second electrode is corrected by applying a second current pulse from the second electrode to the first electrode such that the composition of the storage section recovers to its original state.

    摘要: There is provided a technique capable of improving speed of a set operation, which controls writing rate in a semiconductor device including a memory cell using a phase-change material. The technique uses means for setting a set-pulse voltage to be applied to the phase-change material to have two steps: the first-step voltage sets a temperature of the phase-change memory to a temperature at which the fastest nucleation is obtained; and the second pulse sets the temperature to a temperature at which the fastest crystal growth is obtained, thereby obtaining solid-phase growth of the phase-change material without melting. Moreover, the technique uses means for controlling the two-step voltage applied to the phase-change memory by a two-step voltage applied to a word line capable of reducing the drain current variation.
