    摘要: For data erase from an electrically erasable and programmable non-volatile memory cell, the following operations are performed: an erase operation to apply an erase pulse voltage to a memory cell for data erase, an erase verify operation to verify whether data erase is completed, and a step-up operation to increase the erase pulse voltage by a certain step-up voltage if data erase is not completed. A control unit controls voltages so that at least a first erase pulse voltage initially generated in the erase operation has a longer rise time than that of a second erase pulse voltage generated subsequent to the first erase pulse voltage.

    摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a memory cell array and a control circuit. The control circuit executes a first reading operation and a second reading operation. The first reading operation is an operation of reading a threshold voltage set in the selected memory cell by setting a voltage between a control gate electrode and source of the selected memory cell to a first value. The second reading operation is an operation of reading a threshold voltage set in the selected memory cell by setting a voltage between the control gate electrode and source of the selected memory cell to a second value lower than the first value. When executing the second reading operation, the control circuit keeps a voltage of the control gate electrode of the selected memory cell to 0 or a positive value.

    摘要: A control circuit executes an erase operation that includes an erase pulse application operation and an erase verify operation. The erase pulse application operation applies an erase pulse voltage to a memory cell to change the memory cell from a write state to an erase state. The erase verify operation applies an erase verify voltage to the memory cell to judge whether the memory cell is in the erase state or not. The control circuit changes conditions of execution of the erase verify operation when the number of times of executions of the erase pulse application operation in one erase operation reaches a first number.
