  • Patent number: 8339850
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device having a nonvolatile memory function capable of shortening an erase time and executing data access efficiently. When, under the control of a command register/control circuit, an erase voltage is applied to an embedded erase gate wiring disposed in a memory cell boundary region, and an electrical charge is transferred between a floating gate and an embedded erase gate to thereby perform an erase operation, a read selection voltage is applied to a memory gate line and an assist gate line during the application of the erase voltage to thereby carry out the reading of data.

  • Patent number: 7428174
    Abstract: A semiconductor flash memory includes an erase/write control unit that, when performing an erase/write operation of read memory cells, reads and senses memory current of the read memory cells for each memory cell, and adjusts threshold voltage of each of the read memory cells to a predetermined value, and a readout control unit that, when performing a read operation, selects at least two read memory cells simultaneously from among the read memory cells to which the erase/write control unit stored the same data, and senses total memory current for the at least two read memory cells.

  • Patent number: 5811862
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a multi-value memory including an offset ROM and a manufacturing method thereof can be obtained which allows accurate formation of a source/drain region and an offset region. In this semiconductor device, an offset source/drain region is provided so that a side end portion thereof is positioned substantially in flush with a lower end of an external surface of a sidewall insulating film placed on a side surface of a first gate electrode. Consequently, the offset source/drain region can be formed easily in a self-aligned manner by ion implantation using the sidewall insulating film as a mask, thereby forming the offset region accurately in a self-aligned manner.
