    Abstract: For a verify operation using potential Vbi′, the data of a memory cell is preliminarily read by using potential Vai+1 and the state of the memory cell is stored in a latch circuit. Then, a verify/read operation is conducted by using potential Vbi′. If the state of the cell is higher than Ai+1, the outcome of the verify/read operation is forcibly brought down to a low level. Thus, only two latch circuits are required for storing an n-bit data, including one for storing the data to be written and one for preliminarily reading if the state of the cell is higher than Ai+1 or not and storing the outcome of the preliminary reading.

    Abstract: A channel erase flash memory including a redundancy word line group constituted of a plurality of redundancy word lines separately from a normal memory space of a memory cell array, and including a function of replacing the normal word line group including a defective memory cell with the redundancy word line group. In the memory, at the time of an erase operation, a first voltage is applied to a well region in which the memory cell array is formed, a second voltage of 0 V or less is applied to a normal word line, and a third voltage is applied to all the word lines included in the normal word line group including the defective memory cell or the redundancy word line group. A potential difference between the first and third voltages is set to be smaller than that between the first and second voltages.

    Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of performing page programming at high speeds is provided. This nonvolatile memory device includes a cell array with a matrix of rows and columns of electrically writable and erasable nonvolatile memory cells, and a write control circuit which writes or “programs” one-page data into this cell array at a plurality of addresses within one page. The write control circuit is operable to iteratively perform iteration of a write operation for the plurality of addresses corresponding to one page and iteration of a verify-read operation of the plurality of addresses after writing until verify-read check is passed with respect to every address involved. Regarding an address or addresses with no cells to be written any more, the write control circuit skips the write operation and the after-write verify-read operation.
