    Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes: a memory unit; and a control unit. The memory unit includes: first and second memory strings including first and second memory transistors with first and second select gates, respectively; and first and second wirings connected thereto. In a selective erase operation of a selected cell transistor of the first memory transistors, the control unit applies V1 voltage to the first wiring, applies V2 voltage lower than V1 to a selected cell gate of the selected cell transistor, applies V3 voltage not higher than V1 and higher than V2 to a non-selected cell gate of the first memory transistors, applies V1 or V4 voltage not higher than V1 and not lower than V3 to the first select gate, and applies V2 or V4 voltage higher than V2 and not higher than V3 to the second wiring or sets the second wiring in a floating state.

    Abstract: A groove 11 is formed in a semiconductor substrate 10. A source region 12 is formed on the bottom of the groove 11 on the side of the surface of the semiconductor substrate 10. A drain region 14 is formed in a portion, in which the groove 11 is not formed, on the side of the surface of the semiconductor substrate 10. Floating gates 30 are formed on both inner side wall portions of the groove 11 as charge storage layers. By thus three-dimensionally forming a memory transistor, it is possible to achieve the high density integration of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device.

    Abstract: An EEPROM includes an array of memory cell transistors, which is divided into cell blocks each including NAND cell units of series-connected cell transistors. A sense amplifier is connected to bit lines and a comparator. A data-latch circuit is connected to the comparator, for latching a write-data supplied from a data input buffer. After desired cell transistors selected for programming in a selected block are once programmed, a write-verify operation is performed. The comparator compares the actual data read from one of the programmed cell transistors with the write-data, to verify its written state. The write-verify process checks the resulting threshold voltage for variations using first and second reference voltages defining the lower-limit and upper-limit of an allowable variation range. If the comparison results under employment of the first voltage shows that an irregularly written cell transistor remains with an insufficient threshold voltage which is so low as to fail to fall within the range, the write operation continues for the same cell transistor. If the comparison results under employment of the second voltage shows that an excess-written cell transistor remains, the block is rendered "protected" at least partially.
