摘要:
A memory cell array has a number of memory cells which are connected to word lines and bit lines and are arranged in a matrix form, each of the memory cells storing one of n levels (n is a natural number of 2 or more). A control circuit controls the potentials on the word lines and the bit lines in accordance with input data to write data to the memory cells. The control circuit is adapted to, at the write time, first apply a first potential to a well region or substrate in which the memory cells are formed, then set the well region or substrate to a second potential lower than the first potential, and next apply a predetermined voltage to the word lines to thereby perform a write operation.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device in accordance with an embodiment includes: a memory cell array having electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory cells; and a control unit. The control unit performs control of repeating a write operation, a write verify operation, and a step-up operation, the write verify operation being an operation to verify whether data write is completed or not, and the step-up operation being an operation to raise the write pulse voltage if data write is not completed. The control unit, during the write operation, raises a first write pulse voltage with a first gradient, and then raises a second write pulse voltage with a second gradient, thereby executing the write operation, the first write pulse voltage including at least a write pulse voltage generated at first, the second write pulse voltage being generated after the first write pulse voltage, and the second gradient being larger than the first gradient.

For data erase from an electrically erasable and programmable non-volatile memory cell, the following operations are performed: an erase operation to apply an erase pulse voltage to a memory cell for data erase, an erase verify operation to verify whether data erase is completed, and a step-up operation to increase the erase pulse voltage by a certain step-up voltage if data erase is not completed. A control unit controls voltages so that at least a first erase pulse voltage initially generated in the erase operation has a longer rise time than that of a second erase pulse voltage generated subsequent to the first erase pulse voltage.
