Abstract
PURPOSE:To obtain a device which performs bit-by-bit erasure and never discharges electrons from one floating gate to much, by constituting each memory cell by providing an erasure gate successively to the floating gate of a double gate type MOST. CONSTITUTION:A memory matrix of memory cells M each consisting of a control gate CG, an erasure gate EG, a floating gate FG, a source S, and a drain D has row lines 45 and erasure lines 50. Further, this device is provided with a means of setting the potential of the row line of a selected cell to a low level during erasure, that of applying a high-level erasure voltage to the erasure line of the selected cell during the erasure, that of setting the potentials of respective row lines to the low level during erasure detection, that of giving a prescribed potential difference between the source and drain of the selected cell during the erasure detection, and that of inhibiting the application of the erasure voltage to the erasure line of the cell when detecting the source-drain current of the cell during erasure detection.
