    摘要: An operation scheme for operating stably a semiconductor nonvolatile memory device is provided.When hot-hole injection is conducted in the semiconductor nonvolatile memory device of a split gate structure, the hot-hole injection is verified using a crossing point that does not change with time. Thus, an erased state can be verified without being aware of any time-varying changes.Also, programming or programming/erasure is conducted by repeating pulse voltage or multi-step voltage application to a gate section multiple times.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile semiconductor memory device is provided which overcomes a problem of penetration of implanted ions due to the difference of an optimal gate height in simultaneous formation of a self-align split gate type memory cell utilizing a side wall structure and a scaled MOS transistor. A select gate electrode to form a side wall in a memory area is formed to be higher than that of the gate electrode in a logic area so that the height of the side wall gate electrode of the self-align split gate memory cell is greater than that of the gate electrode in the logic area. Height reduction for the gate electrode is performed in the logic area before gate electrode formation.

    摘要: Disclosed here is a method for speeding up data writing and reducing power consumption by reducing the variation of the threshold voltage of each of non-volatile memory cells at data writing. When writing data in a memory cell, a voltage of about 8V is applied to the memory gate line, a voltage of about 5V is applied to the source line, a voltage of about 1.5V is applied to the selected gate line respectively. At that time, in the writing circuit, the writing pulse is 0, the writing latch output a High signal, and a NAND-circuit outputs a Low signal. And, a constant current of about 1 iA flows in a constant current source transistor and the bit line is discharged by a constant current of about 1 iA to flow a current in the memory cell.

    摘要: Semiconductor device and manufacturing method for reducing the number of required lithography masks added to the nonvolatile memory in the standard CMOS process to shorten the production period and reduce costs. In a split-gate memory cell with silicided gate electrodes utilizing a sidewall structure, a separate auxiliary pattern is formed adjoining the selected gate electrodes. A contact is set on a wiring layer self-aligned by filling side-wall gates of polysilicon in the gap between the electrodes and auxiliary pattern. The contact may overlap onto the auxiliary pattern and device isolation region, in an optimal design considering the size of the occupied surface area. If the distance to the selected gate electrode is x, the ONO film deposit thickness is t, and the polysilicon film deposit thickness is d, then the auxiliary pattern may be separated just by a distance x such that x
