    摘要: The width of a charge storage electrode and a control electrode in the column direction is set to be wider above an element isolation region than that above a channel region. Therefore, the capacitance between the control electrode and the charge storage electrode can be increased to improve the coupling ratio in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. Also, a first interconnection layer is equal in height above the control electrode and above the channel region, so that patterning of the first interconnection layer can be carried out easily and precisely.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device according to the present invention, a conductive layer is formed on a field oxide film in a boundary region on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A floating gate electrode, an interlayer insulating film, and a control gate electrode are formed on the semiconductor substrate in a memory cell array region with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween. A gate electrode is formed in a peripheral circuit region with the gate insulating film interposed therebetween. An interlayer insulating film is formed on the conductive layer, the gate electrode, and the control gate electrode. A contact hole is formed at a predetermined position of the interlayer insulating film. An interconnection layer is selectively formed on the interlayer insulating film including the inner surface of the contact hole. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent formation of a concave portion on the surface of the field oxide film in the boundary region. It is also possible to protect the memory cell array region from an external noise by forming the conductive layer on the field oxide film in the boundary region and by fixing the potential of the conductive layer.

    摘要: In a non-volatile semiconductor memory device according to the present invention, a p type source region and a p type drain region are formed in the surface of an n well. A floating gate electrode and a control gate electrode are formed on a channel region with a tunnel oxide film interposed therebetween. According to this structure, a negative potential is applied to the drain region and a positive potential is applied to the control gate electrode when data is programmed, whereby electrons are injected from the drain region to the floating gate electrode by a band-to-band tunnel current induced hot electron injection current in the drain region. As a result, a non-volatile semiconductor memory device is provided which can prevent deterioration of the tunnel oxide film and which can be miniaturized.
