Flash memory device

摘要

A flash memory device is configured to address the problems that charges generated when via hole is etched is charged to a junction region through a metal line and are thus concentrated on a tunnel oxide film, thus making distribution of a threshold voltage over a cell uneven when a device is driven. In order to solve the problems, the device has a junction region in an outside circuit region so charges generated when via hole is etched is concentrated on the junction region formed in the outside circuit region. Thus, it can prevent concentration of the charges on the cell and thus make uniform distribution of the threshold voltage over a cell array.
