Patent ID: 7212444

Claim:
An integrated semiconductor nonvolatile memory, comprising: a first insulated-gate field effect transistor with a first gate having a gate electrode formed in a stacked fashion on a semiconductor substrate via an insulating film; a second insulated-gate field effect transistor with a second gate including a charge storage film formed in a region on said semiconductor substrate adjacent to said first insulated-gate field effect transistor; a first channel formed in said semiconductor substrate, below said first insulated-gate field effect transistor; a second channel formed in said semiconductor substrate, below said second insulated-gate field effect transistor and adjacently to said first channel so as to be electrically connected thereto; and a first diffusion-layer electrode and second diffusion-layer electrode formed at one end of said first channel and an opposite end of said second channel, respectively, so as to sandwich a region on said semiconductor substrate where said first channel and said second channel are formed; wherein programming and erasure are executed by applying a voltage to said second gate and injecting electrons and a holes, respectively from a region of said second channel into said charge storage film; and wherein the programming and erasure are executed by repeating pulse application to said second gate a plurality of times, and each of the pulse voltages applied is determined in accordance with a previously prepared reference table.
