Abstract

See full text

A non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cells. Each of the plurality of memory cells has a control gate, a source, a drain and a floating gate for storing charges. The floating gate is preferably capacitively coupled to at least one of the source and the drain. The memory device also includes a control circuit for controlling voltages that are respectively applied to the control gate, the source and the drain in order to execute an erasure operation of at least one memory cell in a 'memory cell-by-memory cell' format.
