Abstract: In a semiconductor memory device, voltage application from a memory gate electrode of the memory capacitor to a word line can be blocked by a rectifier element depending on values of voltages applied to the memory gate electrode and the word line without using a conventional control circuit. The configuration eliminates the need to provide a switch transistor and a switch control circuit for turning on and off the switch transistor as in conventional cases, and accordingly achieves downsizing. In the semiconductor memory device, for example, each bit line contact is shared by four anti-fuse memories adjacent to each other and each word line contact is shared by four anti-fuse memories adjacent to each other, thereby achieving downsizing of the entire device as compared to a case in which the bit line contact and the word line contact are individually provided to each anti-fuse memory.

Abstract: When a memory cell (MC) is downsized by reducing the distance between a drain region (12a) and a source region (12b) on the surface of a fin (S2) with a high impurity concentration inside the fin (S2), the shape of the fin (S2) can be set such that a potential difference between a memory gate electrode (MG) and the fin (S2) is reduced to suppress the occurrence of disturbance. Accordingly, the memory cell (MC) achieves downsizing and suppression of the occurrence of disturbance.
