Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor memory device including a substrate (1) having one conductivity type; read only memory element formed in the substrate for storing fixed information, the element having a control gate (24), a floating gate (23), a source region (22), and a drain region (21), both of the regions having an opposite conductivity type to that of the substrate; a first region (33) having the above one conductivity type which surrounds the element; a light shield layer (62), connected to the source region and the first region, for covering the element; a second region (32) having the opposite conductivity type which is located outside of the first region for taking out the drain region; and a well region (31) having the opposite conductivity type, the well region linking the drain region (21) and the second region (32), a part of the first region (33) being formed in the well.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A semiconductor memory device comprising: a substrate having one conductivity type; a read only memory element formed in said substrate for storing fixed information, said element having a control gate, a floating gate, a source region, and a drain region, both of said regions having an opposite conductivity type to that of said substrate; a first region having said one conductivity type which surrounds said element; a light shield layer, connected to said source region and said first region, for covering said element; a second region having said opposite conductivity type which is located outside of said first region for taking out said drain region; and a well region having said opposite conductivity type, said well region linking said drain region and said second region, a part of said first region being formed in said well.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 136 words
A semiconductor memory device comprising: a substrate having one conductivity type; a read only memory element formed in said substrate for storing fixed information, said element having a control gate, a floating gate, a source region, and a drain region, both of said regions having an opposite conductivity type to that of said substrate; a first region having said one conductivity type which surrounds said element; a light shield layer, connected to said source region and said first region, for covering said element; a second region having said opposite conductivity type which is located outside of said first region for taking out said drain region; and a well region having said opposite conductivity type, said well region linking said drain region and said second region, a part of said first region being formed in said well.
