    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: 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 semiconductor memory device having high integration, low power consumption and high operation speed. The memory device includes a sense amplifier circuit having plural pull-down circuits and a pull-up circuit. A transistor constituting one of the plural pull-down circuits has a larger constant than that of a transistor constituting the other pull-down circuits, for example, a channel length and a channel width. The pull-down circuit having the larger constant transistor is activated earlier than the other pull-down circuits and the pull-up circuit, which are activated to conduct reading. The data line and the earlier driven pull-down circuit are connected by an NMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor is activated or inactivated to control the activation or inactivation of the pull-down circuit.

    摘要: A sense amplifier is constructed to reduce the occurrence of malfunctions in a memory read operation, and thus degraded chip yield, due to increased offset of the sense amplifier with further sealing down. The sense amplifier circuit is constructed with a plurality of pull-down circuits and a pull-up circuit, and a transistor in one of the plurality of pull-down circuits has a constant such as a channel length or a channel width larger than that of a transistor in another pull-down circuit. The pull-down circuit with a larger constant of a transistor is first activated, and then, the other pull-down circuit and the pull-up circuit are activated to perform the read operation.
