Abstract

데이터의 개서 가능 횟수가 많은 다치 메모리를 제공한다. 단결정 실리콘 기판(1)상의 소스·드래인 영역(2)사이의 채널 영역(3)상에 게이트 산화막(4)과, 부유 게이트 전극(5)과, 게이트 산화막(6)과, 제1 제어 게이트 전극(7)과, 게이트 산화막(8), 제2 제어 게이트 전극(9)과, 절연막(10)이 형성되어 있다. 부유 게이트 전극(5)은 게이트 산화막(4)에 대해 수직 방향으로 늘어난 기둥모양의 도전성 미세 결정(주상정)으로 이루어지고, 그 각 주상정은 서로 절연되어 있다. 기입 동작에서는, 드래인 영역(2b)에서 늘어나는 공핍층의 폭을 제어하여 부유 게이트 전극(5)으로 열전자를 주입하는 것으로 다치의 각 데이터값에 대응하여 부유 게이트 전극(5)의 소정 부분에 소정량의 전자를 축적시킨다. 그리고, 판독 동작에서는, 공핍층의 폭을 제어하고, 또 각 제어 게이트 전극(7,9)의 전위를 제어하는 것으로 다치의 각 데이터값에 대응한 셀 전류를 얻는다.
