Abstract

See full text

There is provided a method for writing a multiple value into a nonvolatile memory capable of writing multiple value data into a floating gate type memory cell in an equal time even when the data are varied. With a specified voltage applied to a control gate of a memory cell, a drain voltage which is varied according to each of data values '11', '10' and '01' to a drain so that a write time required for setting a varied threshold voltage is equalized. By moving electrons between a floating gate and a drain through a gate insulating film, the threshold voltage of the memory cell is set.
