    摘要: A method of fabrication comprising forming a semiconductor integrated circuit device LSI which has a microcomputer CPU furnished with an EPROM, determining a program for controlling the microcomputer CPU and to be set in the EPROM (performing an initial evaluation) while information is being written into and erased from the EPROM built in the semiconductor integrated circuit device LSI, and thereafter forming a semiconductor integrated circuit device LSI in which the EPROM of the first-mentioned semiconductor integrated circuit device LSI is replaced with a mask ROM. In replacing the EPROM with the mask ROM, peripheral circuits required for both the EPROM and the mask ROM have their circuit arrangements held basically the same, and specific peripheral circuits for use in only the EPROM have their circuit regions left as they are as logically inactive regions.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type has formed on its main surface a floating gate through a first gate insulating film and has further formed over the floating gate a control gate through a second gate insulating film. In one of a paired source and drain and across which there is provided the floating gate insulatedly above the main surface of the substrate, a semiconductor region of second conductivity type having a lower impurity concentration than that of the paired source and drain is formed in a portion of the substrate overlapping the floating gate. A nonvolatile memory device thus constructed has its writing operation carried out by extracting electrons from the floating gate to the other of the paired source and drain having a semiconductor region of the second conductivity type, having a higher impurity concentration, by an F-N tunneling of electrons flowing through the first gate insulating film and its erasing operation carried out by injecting from the paired source and drain or the semiconductor substrate into the floating gate by the F-N tunneling of electrons flowing through the first gate insulating film. Data lines or source lines can be shared between memory cells adjacent to each other in a word line direction so that the memory cells can be substantially small-sized. The writing operation and the erasing operation can be carried out by the tunnel current so that the corresponding, necessary high voltages can be generated by the internal circuits.
