    摘要: A multi-storage nonvolatile memory of high density, high speed and high reliability has a memory transistor and switch transistors disposed on both the sides of the memory transistor. The memory transistor includes a gate insulating film having discrete traps and a memory gate electrode, whereas the switch transistors include switch gate electrodes. The gate insulating film has the discrete traps for storing information charge, can locally inject carriers, and one memory cell constitutes a multi-storage cell for storing at least information of 2 bits. The switch transistors having the switch gate electrodes realize source side injection. The memory transistor is fommed together with the switch transistors in self-aligned diffusion. The memory gate electrode of the memory transistor is connected to a word line so as to perform word-line erase.

    摘要: A semiconductor processing device according to the invention includes a first non-volatile memory (21) for erasing stored information on a first data length unit, a second non-volatile memory (22) for erasing stored information on a second data length unit, and a central processing unit (2), and capable of inputting/outputting encrypted data from/to an outside. The first non-volatile memory is used for storing an encryption key to be utilized for encrypting the data. The second non-volatile memory is used for storing a program to be processed by the central processing unit. The non-volatile memories to be utilized for storing the program and for storing the encryption key are separated from each other, and the data lengths of the erase units of information to be stored in the non-volatile memories are defined separately. Therefore, the stored information can efficiently be erased before the execution of a processing of writing the program, and the stored information can be erased corresponding to the data length of a necessary processing unit in the write of the encryption key to be utilized in the calculation processing of the CPU.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory device has a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells in which a memory gate electrode is formed over a first semiconductor region with a gate insulating film and a gate nitride film interposed therebetween. First and second switch gate electrodes, and first and second signal electrodes used as source/drain electrodes are formed on both sides of the memory gate electrode. Electrons are injected into the gate nitride film from the source side to store information in the memory cells. The memory gate electrode and the switch gate electrodes extend in the same direction. The application of a high electric field to a memory cell which is not selected for writing can be avoided owing to the switch gate electrodes being held in a cut-off state.

It is another object of the invention to provide a semiconductor memory device having an excellent information holding characteristic. It is a further object of the invention to provide a method for manufacturing in a simple manner a novel field effect transistor or semiconductor memory device with extremely low leakage current. According to a typical basic configuration of the present invention, a thin insulating film is inserted in a vertically disposed Schottky junction to form source and drain electrodes and a tunnel of the insulating film in the junction is controlled by a gate electrode. The gate electrode is disposed on each of both sides of a vertical channel, permitting a field effect to be exerted effectively on the junction, whereby a junction leakage in an OFF state can be made extremely low.
