    摘要: With a high-speed nonvolatile phase change memory, reliability in respect of the number of refresh times is enhanced. In a memory cell forming area of a phase change memory using a MISFET as a transistor for selection of memory cells, a phase change material layer of a memory cell comprising a resistor element, using a phase change material, is formed for common use. As a result, variation in shape and a change in composition of the phase change material, caused by isolation of memory cell elements by etching, are reduced, thereby enhancing reliability of memory cells, in respect of the number of refresh times.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of memory cells, a central processing unit, a timer circuit which times a RESET time, and a timer circuit which times a SET time. A threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor of each memory cell is lower than that of the peripheral circuit, thereby easily executing a RESET operation. The direction of a flowing current is changed across the RESET operation and the SET operation, and the bit lines are activated at high speed, thus preventing system malfunctions. Further, the semiconductor device can overcome such problems as a wrong write operation and data destruction, resulting from the variation in the CMOS transistors when operating phase change elements with minimum size CMOS transistors at a core voltage (e.g. 1.2 V). According to the present invention, stable operations can be realized at a low voltage, using minimum-size cell transistors.
