    摘要: A highly-reliable semiconductor device is realized. For example, each memory cell of a nonvolatile memory included in the semiconductor device is configured to include a source and a drain formed in a P-well, a memory node which is formed on the P-well between the source and the drain via a tunnel insulator and is insulated from its periphery, and a control gate formed on the memory node via an interlayer insulator. When a programming operation using channel hot electrons is to be performed in such a configuration, the P-well is put into an electrically floating state.

    摘要: A step is provided between a substrate surface of a select gate and a substrate surface of a memory gate. When the substrate surface of the select gate is lower than the substrate surface of the memory gate, electrons in a channel upon writing obliquely flow in the step portion. Even if the electrons obtain the energy required for passing a barrier during the oblique flow, the electron injection does not occur because electrons are away from the substrate surface. The injection can occur only on a drain region side from a position where the electrons reach the substrate surface. As a result, the injection of the electrons into a gap region is suppressed, so that the electron distribution comes close to the hole distribution. Therefore, variation in a threshold value upon information retention is suppressed, and information-retaining characteristics of a memory cell are improved.

    摘要: Each of a memory gate, a control gate, a source diffusion layer, and a drain diffusion layer is connected to a control circuit for controlling potential, and the control circuit operates so as to supply a first potential to the memory gate, a second potential to the control gate, a third potential to the drain diffusion layer, and a fourth potential to the source diffusion layer. Here, after setting the memory gate to be in a floating state by shifting a switch transistor from an ON state to an OFF state, the control circuit operates so as to supply a sixth potential which is higher than the second potential to the control gate to make the memory gate have a fifth potential which is higher than the first potential, thereby boosting the memory gate.

    摘要: High integration and making a non-volatile semiconductor memory efficient have been promoted. The memory cell consists of a floating gate, a control gate constituting a word line WL and a MOS transistor having an assist gate. The thickness of the gate oxide film of the assist gate is thinner than the thickness of the gate oxide layer of the floating gate, and the dimensions of the assist gate (gate width) in the direction lying along the word line WL is smaller than the gate length of the floating gate in the direction lying along the word line WL. Moreover, the channel dopant concentration underneath the assist gate is lower than the channel dopant concentration underneath the floating gate.

    摘要: Suppressing a leakage current is required in a flash memory because the channel length is made shorter with a reduction in the memory cell size. In an AND type memory array having an assist electrode, although the memory cell area has been reduced by the field isolation using a MOS transistor, leakage current in the channel direction becomes greater with a reduction in the memory cell size, resulting in problems arising like deterioration of programming characteristics, an increase in the current consumption, and reading failure. To achieve the objective, in the present invention, electrical isolation is performed by controlling at least one assist electrode of the assist electrodes wired in parallel to be a negative voltage during program and read operations and by making the semiconductor substrate surface in the vicinity of the aforementioned assist electrode non-conductive.
