ABSTRACT:
A method for settling threshold voltages of word lines on a predetermined level in an erasing processing of a non-volatile semiconductor memory device so as to speed up the erasing processing. A word latch circuit is provided for each word line and the threshold voltage of each memory cell is managed for each word line in a selected memory block. Each word latch circuit is shared by a plurality of word lines so as to reduce the required chip area. A rewriting voltage is set for each finished non-volatile memory and the voltage information is stored in the boot area of the non-volatile memory, so that the voltage is recognized by the system each time the system is powered.
