  • Patent number: 6797566
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device with third gates comprising second conduction type source/drain diffusion layer regions 205 formed in first conduction type well 201, floating gates 203b formed on semiconductor substrate 200 through an insulator film 202, control gates 211a formed on floating gates 203b through nitrogen-introduced silicon oxide film 210a and third gates 207a different from the floating gates and the control gates, formed through the semiconductor substrates, the floating gates, the control gates and the insulator film, where the third gates are formed as filled in gaps between the floating gates existing in a vertical direction to word lines and channels and the height of third gates 207a thus formed is made lower than that of floating gates 203b, has improved reduction of memory cell size and operating speed and improved reliability after programming/erasing cycles.

  • Patent number: 6195305
    Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated circuit in which an internal voltage generation circuit operating on a power supply voltage supplied through an external terminal forms either or both of a low voltage and a boosted voltage to operate internal circuits, a first internal circuit operating on the power supply voltage supplied through the external terminal or the boosted voltage formed by the internal voltage generation circuit is constituted by a first MOSFET with a gate insulation film having a large thickness adapted to the power supply voltage or boosted voltage, and a second internal circuit operating on the low voltage is constituted by a second MOSFET with a gate insulation film having a small thickness adapted to the low voltage.
