    摘要: A resistance variable memory reduces the nonuniformity of resistance values after programming, so that a rewrite operation can be performed on a memory cell at high speed. A reference resistor is connected in series with the resistance variable memory cell, and a sensor amplifier detects whether the potential at an intermediate node between the memory cell and the reference resistor exceeds a given threshold voltage, so as to stop the write operation based on a detection result.

    摘要: A technique for increasing rewriting current without increasing a power supply voltage and also reducing location dependency inside a memory array of a resistive state after the rewriting is provided in a resistance change memory in which the resistance value of a memory cell changes between logical values “1” and “0”. In the resistance change memory, bit lines are formed into a layered structure, the bit line select switches for connecting to the global bit line are provided at both ends of the local bit line, and a control method of the bit line select switches is changed in the writing and the reading, thereby realizing the optimum array configurations for each of them. More specifically, in the writing and the reading, two current paths are provided in parallel by turning ON the bit line select switches simultaneously.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device, a memory cell is connected with a local sense amplifier and a global sense amplifier via a local bit line and a global bit line. The local sense amplifier is a single-ended sense amplifier including a single MOS transistor, which detects a potential of the local bit line which varies when reading and writing data with the memory cell. The threshold voltage of the MOS transistor is monitored so as to produce a high-level write voltage and a low-level write voltage, which are corrected and shifted based on the monitoring result so as to properly perform a reload operation on the memory cell by the global local sense amplifier. Thus, it is possible to cancel out temperature-dependent variations of the threshold voltage and shifting of the threshold voltage due to dispersions of manufacturing processes.
