    摘要: In the semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with a plurality of second well regions of the same conductivity type, formed by dividing a first well region provided in the semiconductor substrate by an isolation trench, the isolation trench is substantially linear on the semiconductor substrate surface and the ends reach out of the first well region, however there is no intersection part, namely a corner part T part or cross part in the isolation trench. Therefore, no cavity occurs in the filler in the trench and stress is not concentrated on the intersection part. In addition, defects due to junction leak or mechanical damage do not occur, that is, there is no characteristic deterioration occuring. By providing the second well with memory cell, a semiconductor memory device whose characteristic defect rate and reliability defect rate are remarkably low can be formed.

    摘要: A writing high voltage of one polarity or an erasing high voltage of another polarity is selectively fed, in accordance with a writing or erasing operation mode, via a switch MOSFET to the word line of a non-volatile memory element designated by an address signal. The potential of a well region, where the switch MOSFET is existent, is changed in conformity with the switching action of the relevant switch MOSFET so as to control the switch MOSFET. Due to this arrangement, the potential of the well region with the non-volatile memory elements existing thereon can be retained at a fixed value, so that the high voltage generator is required merely to drive the selected word line of the memory array (and not the well in which the memory elements are formed). Consequently, the requisite current supply capability of the high voltage generator can be diminished.

    摘要: Using a comparatively low supply voltage of, e.g., +5V and a minus gate voltage, the voltage difference between the gate of an MNOS transistor and a P-type well region in which a MNOS transistor is formed is relatively changed to execute the writing and erasing of the MNOS transistor. Thus, the potential of an N-type semiconductor substrate can be fixed to a comparatively low potential, e.g., about +5V, so that a P-channel MOSFET formed on the semiconductor substrate operates with an ordinary signal level. Consequently, an EEPROM having peripheral circuits constructed of CMOS circuits can be provided. Accordingly, reduction in the power consumption of the EEPROM can be attained.

    摘要: Flash memory is rapidly decreasing in price. There is a demand for a new memory system that permits size reduction and suits multiple-value memory. A flash memory of AND type suitable for multiple-value memory with multiple-level threshold values can be made small in area if the inversion layer is utilized as the wiring; however, it suffers the disadvantage of greatly varying in writing characteristics from cell to cell. Another promising method of realizing multiple-value memory is to change the storage locations. This method, however, poses a problem with disturbance at the time of operation. The present invention provides one way to realize a semiconductor memory device with reduced cell-to-cell variation in writing characteristics. The semiconductor memory has a source region and a drain region, which are formed parallel to each other, and an assist electrode which is between and parallel to the source and drain regions without overlapping, so that it uses, at the time of writing, the assist electrode as the assist electrode for hot electrons to be injected at the source side and it uses, at the time of reading, the inversion layer formed under the assist electrode as the source region or the drain region.
