摘要:
The semiconductor device of the present invention includes a column decoder (select and write circuit), which selects multiple pages that are not located adjacently to each other so as to simultaneously program multiple bits in the memory cells of the selected page, when the multiple bits are programmed in the multiple pages. The page is a selection unit and is composed of a given number of the memory cells located on a same word line. An unnecessary stress of programming is not applied to the memory cells that are not to be programmed, by increasing the distance between the memory cells to be programmed simultaneously.

A semiconductor device includes a first memory cell array that includes memory cells for storing data and is managed on a sector basis, a second memory cell array including memory cells storing sector protection information on the sector basis, and a control circuit checking the sector protection information stored in the second memory cell array whenever the sector to be programmed or erased is selected. Thus, the sector protection information in all the sectors does not have to be latched at the time of power on. The latch circuit equal in number to the sector does not have to be provided. It is thus possible to reduce the number of the circuits drastically and the chip area can be reduced.

The semiconductor device of the present invention includes at least one dummy cell of a programmed state proximately located to an edge of a reference cell array. Thus, the leak current does not flow when a data of the cell on the edge of the reference cell array is read out. The memory cell located around the center of the reference cell array has neighboring cells of the programmed state, and the leak current can be prevented when the data is read out from all the reference cells. Thus, the reference current can be supplied stably.

The semiconductor device includes a memory cell array that includes memory cells for storing data and is managed on a sector basis, a memory that stores the information determining the activation status, a latch circuit that latches the activation information according to the information stored in the memory, and a circuit that latches the activation information according to the information stored in the memory in the latch circuit. The activation information according to the memory state of the memory is latched at the time of inputting a given command after activation, and it is thus possible to read the information stored in the memory and set the information in the latch circuit certainly.

An aluminum alloy according to the present invention includes from 4.0 to 6.0% Mg, from 0.3 to 0.6% Mn, from 0.5 to 0.9% Fe, and the balance of Al and inevitable impurities when the entirety is taken as 100% by mass. By appropriately selecting the composition range of Mg, Mn and Fe, it has been possible to micro-finely crystallize Al (Mn, Fe) compounds while inhibiting the growth of primary-crystal Al. As a result, the resulting aluminum alloy is good in terms of the castability, and shows high strength as well as high ductility.

A flash-erasable semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cell transistors each having an insulated floating gate for storing information and a control electrode provided on said floating gate, wherein the flash-erasable semiconductor memory device includes a write control circuit supplied with a write control signal, when writing information. The write control circuit produces a control signal such that a leading edge of the drain control signal appears after a leading edge of the gate control signal. Further, the gate control circuit shuts off the gate control signal such that a trailing edge of the gate control signal appears after a trailing edge of the drain control signal.
