    摘要: An EEPROM in which a select transistor to which any memory cell not selected is turned off to inhibit electron injections into the floating gate of the memory cell not selected. The memory cells of the EEPROM are arranged in rows and columns in a substrate. The memory cells forming each column are connected in series. The two endmost memory cells are connected to two select transistors, respectively. The bit lines are connected to a data latch/sense amplifier, which is connected to a column decoder. The column decoder controls the bit lines. A row decoder controls select gates and control gates. A voltage-boosting circuit generates a high voltage, which is applied to the substrate and the select gates to erase data in the EEPROM, and to the control gates to write data into the EEPROM. A low-voltage controller generates a low voltage, which is applied to the select gates for turning off the select transistors of the column not selected, thereby to prevent data-writing.

    摘要: In a reduced projection type step- and repeat-exposure apparatus of the present invention, the angle of inclination of an exposure area on the wafer is first detected, and then corrected on the basis of the detected value. This measurement corrects the inclination of the exposure area. Hence, high precision patterning can be realized, even if an optical system having a small focus margin is used.

    摘要: After data is written into a desired memory cell of a memory cell array, a booster circuit verifies the threshold voltage of the memory cell in which data is written. An erase timing signal generation circuit connected to a control circuit generates a timing signal for a short period of time when a memory cell having a threshold voltage higher than the power supply voltage. An erasing voltage generation circuit applies a negative erasing voltage to the memory cell in which data is written for a short period of time according to the timing signal supplied from the erase timing signal generation circuit to slightly lower the threshold voltage of the memory cell so as to prevent the excessive writing.

    摘要: A memory cell transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a N-type source region, a N-type drain region, a control gate and a P.sup.+ -type emitter region, which is formed in the surface region of the drain region. An insulating film overlies the source region, the drain region, the emitter region, and the control gate. A contact hole is formed in the insulating film so that the surface of the emitter region is exposed. An emitter electrode is formed in and around the contact hole. A PNP vertical bipolar transistor is constituted by the semiconductor substrate serving as a collector region, a P.sup.+ -type buried layer serving as a collector contact, and the drain region serving as a base region.
