Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes memory cells, first and second selection transistors, a source line, a temperature monitor, and a source line voltage controller. The memory cells are connected in series between a source of the first selection transistor and a drain of the second selection transistor. The temperature monitor monitors a temperature of the semiconductor substrate. The source line voltage controller applies a voltage to the source line, in a read operation, in such a manner that a potential difference between the source line and the semiconductor substrate increases according to a rise in the temperature monitored by the temperature monitor and that a reverse bias is applied between the source of the second selection transistor and the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: Procedures for SPICE parameter extraction, SPICE calculation, and device simulation for a partially depleted SOI MOSFET are provided. First, SPICE calculation parameters are set. At cthis time, parameters that describe the body current characteristics are not extracted but rather the body current is estimated to be zero. Then, in place of parameters that describe the body current characteristics, information regarding the steady state during circuit operation that is normally found from the body current characteristics, which is to say, the body charge and oscillation in the body potential, is treated as macro parameters that encompass information regarding the body current characteristics. After setting the parameters that include such macro parameters, a SPICE calculation for transient analysis is performed.

Abstract: A SOI MOSFET 10 may be formed from silicon single crystal as a substrate body that is formed on an embedded oxide film 11. For example, a P-type body 12, a channel section 13, and N-type source region 14 and drain region 15 are formed therein. Low concentration N-type extension regions 18, a gate electrode 17 provided through a gate dielectric layer 16 and sidewalls 19 are formed therein. A body terminal 101 in which a resistance (body resistance) Rb between itself and a body is positively increased is provided, and the body terminal 101 is connected to a source region 14. This structure realizes a SOI MOSFET with a BTS (Body-Tied-to-Source) operation accompanied by a transient capacitive coupling of a body during a circuit operation.
