Definitions
- the present invention relates to a virtual ground type semiconductor device that shares a drain line and a source line of a memory cell that is in P-contact with each other, and a method of programming a reference cell thereof.
- the drain current of a read memory cell and the reference current of a reference cell during a read operation are used as a reference current using a current of a reference cell set to a predetermined threshold value. To compare. The data "1” or “0” is determined depending on whether the read drain current of the memory cell is larger than the reference current.
- the drain voltage and the precharge voltage cannot be made exactly the same, and a leak current occurs when a memory cell adjacent to a memory cell from which data is read is in an erased state. If the memory cell next to the memory cell from which data is read is programmed, no leakage current will occur due to the effect of the charged charge. In other words, the data in the adjacent memory cell determines whether or not there is a leak current, which affects the readout characteristics.
- the memory cell in the figure is a MONOS type memory cell with a charge trapping layer, which can store 2-bit information by trapping electrons in the left and right regions of the same layer.
- a white circle indicates a state where electrons are not trapped (erased state), and a black circle indicates a state where electrons are trapped (program state).
- FIG. 1A a memory cell adjacent to the drain line side of a memory cell to be read (Cell (0) shown in FIG. 1A) is used.
- Cell (7) shown in Fig. 1A When a memory cell (Cell (7) shown in Fig. 1A) is programmed and recharged, electrons do not flow due to the influence of the charge by the program, and no leak current occurs.
- the core cell and the reference cell are in the same cell array.
- Reference Cell Force When provided adjacent to a core cell as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a leakage current flows or does not flow in a reference cell adjacent to the core cell depending on the programming state of the adjacent core cell.

Can be. Further, the dummy cell array is connected to a word line connecting the core cell array and the reference cell array, and is located between the core cell array and the reference cell array. It is also possible to adopt a configuration having a programmable dummy cell. Since the dummy array including the dummy cell is arranged between the core array and the reference array, the reference current can be stably extracted from the reference array regardless of the data recorded in the core array.
- the core array, the reference array, and the dummy cell array are of a virtual grounding type in which adjacent cells share a bit line, and the two bits out of two bits of a programmable dummy cell. It is preferable that the bit near the reference cell be in a program state. Since the bit on the reference array side is programmed, current leakage can be more stably prevented when reading the reference current at the end of the reference array.
- the semiconductor device may further include a decoder that generates a decode signal commonly applied to the core cell array, the reference array, and the dummy cell array. Since the cells of the core array, the reference array, and the dummy array can be selected by the common decode signal, it is not necessary to newly change the decoding to provide the dummy array.
- the semiconductor device may further include a control circuit that programs the reference cell so that the reference cell starts at both ends of the reference cell and moves toward and toward the center. Since there is a programmed dummy cell at the end of the reference array, by performing programming in the direction from the end of the reference array to the center cell, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of leakage current during programming.
- the programmable dummy cell at an end of the dummy array is programmed. And then further include a control circuit to program the reference array. Since the reference array is programmed after the dummy cell is programmed when the reference array is programmed, no current leak occurs when the cells at the end of the reference array are programmed.
- the memory cell preferably has a charge trap layer of an insulating film, and stores information by storing charges in the charge trap layer.
- the programmable dummy cell located close to the reference cell is in a programmed state.
- the dummy cell array may have another programmable dummy cell, and the reference cell array may be sandwiched between the programmable dummy cell and the another programmable dummy cell.

- the present invention also includes a step of erasing a referrer having a reference cell for identifying data of a memory cell, a step of programming a dummy cell in a dummy cell array located close to the reference array, Programming the reference array after programming is completed.
- the dummy array is programmed before the reference array is programmed. Therefore, no current leak occurs when the reference array is programmed.
- the step of programming the reference cell may be started from cells located at both ends of the reference array. Since there is a programmed dummy cell at the end of the reference array, programming from the end of the reference array toward the center cell can prevent leakage current during programming.
