发明名称 Non-volatile semiconductor memory with bit line hierarchy
摘要 Local bit lines (LBL) are respectively provided for a plurality of sectors, corresponding to each of the global bit lines (GBL). Sector select transistors connect a LBL to a GBLector select lines control the on/off state of the sector select transistors for the corresponding sectors. A plurality of word lines (WL) intersect the local bit lines. Memory cells are located at the intersections between the LBL and the WL. Each memory cell connects a source line with the corresponding LBL and includes an n-channel transistor that is turned on/off by the corresponding WL. A precharge voltage is applied to a charging line. Charging transistors connect the LBL to the charging line. A charging gate line controls the on/off state of the charging transistors.
