    摘要: In a NAND EEPROM using the local self-boosting system, an intermediate voltage which allows a memory cell adjacent to a selected memory cell to be turned on is applied to the control gate of the adjacent memory cell. As a result, even if the adjacent memory cell is in a normally-off state, the potential of a bit line can be transmitted to the adjacent memory cell. Thus, the reliability of the write inhibition in a non-selected NAND memory cell column is improved, while data can be written at random into a plurality of memory cells in a selected NAND memory cell column. When data is to be erased, an absolute value of an erasing voltage applied to a control gate can be less. As a result, data can be erased by a lower erasure voltage than that required in the conventional art. Consequently, the element refinement, the reliability and the yield can be further improved.

    摘要: Memory cells each for storing 2-bit data are connected to a bit line. First and second flip-flop circuits are coupled to the bit line. The first flip-flop circuit holds the lower bit of 2-bit data read out from or written into the memory cell and the second flip-flop circuit holds the upper bit of 2-bit data read out from or written into the memory cell. At the data readout time, the upper bit is first read out from the memory cell and then the lower bit is read out from the memory cell. At the data writing time, the upper bit is first written into the memory cell and then the lower bit is written into the memory cell.

    摘要: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a flip-flop circuit for holding write data in one of first and second states. A bit line is connected to the flip-flop circuit via a switching element, and a transistor charges the bit line. A non-volatile memory cell, connected to the bit line and having a MOS transistor structure, stores data when a threshold thereof is set in one of first and second threshold ranges, wherein at the time of a write mode the threshold of the memory cell is shifted from the first threshold range towards the second threshold range while the flip-flop circuit remains in the first state and the shift of the threshold is not effected while the flip-flop circuit remains in the second state, and at the time of a verify mode following the write mode the bit line is kept at a charge potential by the charging transistor while the threshold remains in the second threshold range. A data setting circuit for connects one of first and second signal nodes of the flip-flop circuit to a predetermined potential when the bit line is at the charge potential in the verify mode, thereby setting the flip-flop circuit in the second state irrespective of the state prior to the verify mode.
