Patent ID: 8723242

Claim:
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device, comprising: a plurality of memory cells formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of first memory cell rows in each of which some of the plurality of memory cells are arranged in a second direction while sharing source diffusion layers and drain diffusion layers; a plurality of second memory cell rows formed by arranging the plurality of first memory cell rows in a repeated manner in a first direction that is perpendicular to the second direction; a plurality of memory cell regions in each of which two or more of the plurality of second memory cell rows are arranged; a shunt region located between each adjacent two of the memory cell regions arranged in the first direction; drain contact plugs which are provided in each of the memory cell regions and each of which is formed to have a bottom end electrically connected to the drain diffusion layer of each adjacent two of the plurality of memory cells; a line-shaped local interconnect which is formed to extend in the first direction across the memory cell region and the shunt region and to have a bottom end electrically connected commonly to the source diffusion layers of the plurality of memory cells belonging to each of the plurality of the first memory cell rows; a source line which is formed to extend in the second direction; a bit line which is formed to extend in the second direction; drain via plugs, each of the drain via plugs being provided in the memory cell region and formed to have a bottom end portion electrically connected to a top end of each of the drain contact plugs and a top end portion electrically connected to a bottom end of the bit line; and a line-shaped power supply via for source which is formed to extend in the shunt region in the second direction, and to have a bottom end portion electrically connected to a top end of the line-shaped local interconnect at a portion where the line-shaped power supply via for source intersects the interconnect in a perpendicular manner, and a top end portion electrically connected to the source line, the line-shaped power supply via for source and the drain via plugs formed in a same layer level.
