摘要:
In a memory block that is to be subjected to an erasure operation, voltage of the ground level is selectively supplied to only one word line. By applying an erasure pulse to a source line, memory cell transistors have their threshold voltages shifted. As to another word line, a pulse of a positive voltage is supplied in synchronization to the application of an erasure pulse to the source line. Another group of memory cell transistors do not have their threshold voltages shifted.
