    摘要: A semiconductor device including a nonvolatile memory unit and a variable logic unit mounted on a chip is configured to achieve higher speed operation at a lower voltage. The semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory unit comprising a plurality of rewritable nonvolatile memory cells and a variable logic unit whose logical functions are determined, according to logic constitution definition data to be loaded into storage cells thereof. A nonvolatile memory cell essentially has a split gate structure composed of a selecting MOS transistor and a memory MOS transistor and constructed such that the dielectric withstand voltage of the gate of the selecting MOS transistor is lower than that of the memory MOS transistor or the gate insulation layer of the selecting MOS transistor is thinner than that of a high-voltage-tolerant MOS transistor. Because the selecting MOS transistor has a high Gm, a sufficiently great current for reading can be obtained.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of memory cells, a central processing unit, a timer circuit which times a RESET time, and a timer circuit which times a SET time. A threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor of each memory cell is lower than that of the peripheral circuit, thereby easily executing a RESET operation. The direction of a flowing current is changed across the RESET operation and the SET operation, and the bit lines are activated at high speed, thus preventing system malfunctions. Further, the semiconductor device can overcome such problems as a wrong write operation and data destruction, resulting from the variation in the CMOS transistors when operating phase change elements with minimum size CMOS transistors at a core voltage (e.g. 1.2 V). According to the present invention, stable operations can be realized at a low voltage, using minimum-size cell transistors.

    摘要: A semiconductor non-volatile storage device of the present invention which lets a memory cell directly drive up to a local bit line, wherein the output of the local bit line is received by a gate electrode of a separately-provided signal amplifying transistor, and the signal amplifying transistor is used to drive a global bit line having a large load capacity. Since an amplifying transistor having a drive power higher than a memory cell drives the parasitic capacity of a global bit line, information stored in a memory cell can be read out at high speed. Therefore, the storage device is used for storing program codes for controlling microcomputers or the like to thereby enhance a system performance.

    摘要: On an insulating film (41) in which a plug (43) as a lower electrode is embedded, a laminated layer pattern of an insulating film (51) made of tantalum oxide, a recording layer (52) made of Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced and an upper electrode film (53) made of tungsten or tungsten alloy is formed, thereby forming a phase change memory. By interposing the insulating film (51) between the recording layer (52) and the plug (43), an effect of reducing programming current of a phase change memory and an effect of preventing peeling of the recording layer (52) can be achieved. Further, by using the Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced as the recording layer (52), the difference in work function between the insulating film (51) and the recording layer (52) is increased, and the programming voltage of the phase change memory can be reduced.
