Patent number: 7742337Abstract: A semiconductor memory is achieved which allows a reduction in the area of a memory array block without reducing the gate widths of floating gates. A plurality of select gates extend in straight lines in the X direction. Between the upper- and lower-side select gates, two rows' worth of floating gates are arranged. The plurality of floating gates are placed in a staggered arrangement (in other words, in a zigzag pattern). That is, looking at one floating gate in a specific column and another floating gate in a column adjacent to that specific column, those floating gates deviate from each other in the Y direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2008Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Yutaka Takikawa, Koichi Kawauchi, Satoko Kamakura, Kazuo Nomura, Kazuyuki Kawamoto, Nobutaka Imanishi
