| 20080258201 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A manufacturing method of a semiconductor memory device for manufacturing a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device wherein a cell array ratio is smaller than that of the first semiconductor device, said manufacturing method has forming the height of first element-isolating insulating films of first memory cell array region of said first semiconductor device so as to be a predetermined height, by performing etching treatment under predetermined conditions using a first etching mask having a first opening for exposing the entirety of said first memory cell array region, and forming the height of second element-isolating insulating films of second memory cell array region and part of peripheral circuit region of said second semiconductor device so as to be the predetermined height, by performing etching treatment under said predetermined conditions using a second etching mask having a second opening for exposing the entirety of said second memory cell array region and a third opening for exposing part of said peripheral circuit region. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100032725 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A semiconductor memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate; a cell array block formed on the semiconductor substrate and including plural stacked cell array layers each comprising a plurality of first lines, a plurality of second lines crossing the plurality of first lines, and memory cells connected at intersections of the first and second lines between both lines; and a plurality of contact plugs extending in the stack direction of the cell array layers to connect between the first lines, between the second lines, between the first or second line and the semiconductor substrate, or between the first or second line and another metal line, in the cell array layers. The first or second line in a certain one of the cell array layers has a contact connector making contact with both sides of the contact plug. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100213433 | NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A non-volatile semiconductor storage device includes memory cells, each of which is arranged at an intersection between a first wiring and a second wiring intersecting each other. Each of the memory cells includes: a first electrode layer; a plurality of variable resistance layers laminated on the first electrode layer and functioning as variable resistance elements; a second electrode layer formed between the variable resistance layers; and a third electrode layer formed on the top one of the variable resistance layers. Each of the variable resistance layers is composed of a material containing carbon. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110051493 | NONVOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array configured as an arrangement of memory cells each arranged between a first line and a second line and each including a variable resistor. A control circuit controls a voltage applied to the first line or the second line. A current limiting circuit limits a current flowing through the first line or the second line to a certain upper limit or lower. In a case where a writing operation or an erasing operation to a memory cell is implemented a plural number of times repeatedly, the current limiting circuit sets the upper limit in the writing operation or erasing operation of the p-th time higher than the upper limit in the writing operation or erasing operation of the q-th time (q | 03-03-2011 |
