    摘要: In a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a large current can be flowed through the memory cell during reading. The number of the column lines can be reduced. The electron injection to the floating gates of the respective memory cells is averaged to reduce the dispersion of the threshold voltages thereof. The electron emission from the floating gates of the respective memory cells is also averaged to reduce the dispersion of the threshold voltages thereof. An increase in chip size due to latch circuits can be prevented. By noting that either of a plurality of “0” or “1” of the binary data are stored much in the memory cells of the memory cell bundle or block, a negative threshold voltage is allocated to the memory cells for storing the more bit side data of the binary data. A single column line is used in common for the two adjacent memory blocks. To inject electrons to the floating gates of the memory cells, voltage is increased gradually and stopped when electrons have been injected up to a predetermined injection rate. Electrons are once emitted from the floating gates, and thereafter the electrons are injected again to store one of a binary data. Further, the date latch circuits can be formed at any positions remote from the memory cell array.

    摘要: The current paths of a plurality of floating gate type MOSFETs are series-connected to form a series circuit. The series circuit is connected at one end to receive a reference voltage, and is connected to data programming and readout circuit. In the data programming mode, electrons are discharged from the floating gate to the drain of the MOSFET or holes are injected into the drain into the floating gate. The data readout operation is effected by checking whether current flows from the other end to the one end of the series circuit or not.

    摘要: There is disclosed a semiconductor memory device comprising memory cells (M11 to Mmn) for storing binary data, and first reference cells (DM11 to DMm1) and second reference cells (DM12 to DMm2) corresponding to respective two storage states of the memory cell, to make comparisons between the storage state of the memory cell and the storage states of the both reference cells at first and second sense amplifiers (1, 2) to compare outputs from the both sense amplifiers at the third sense amplifier (3) to thereby detect storage data of the memory cell. Thus, there can be provided a high speed memory device which has a less number of memory cells and of a high integration structure, and which has a little possibility of an erroneous operation in reading.

    摘要: Memory cells are arrange in the row and column directions in the form of a matrix. A transistor as a load is connected to column lines. A sense amplifier is connected to the transistor. In a read check operation, in which the data in the memory cells are erased, and the erased state of each memory cell is checked, all the row lines are set in a non-selected state by a row decoder, and all the column lines are selected by a column decoder. In this state. the sum of currents flowing in the memory cells is detected by the sense amplifier. When the current detected by the sense amplifier becomes a predetermined value, a data erase operation is ended.
