ABSTRACT:
Erasing operation can be carried out by applying a given potential difference between the control gate electrodes and the source regions in memory transistors 1a-1d by a potential difference setting section 30. Verifying operation can be accomplished by delecting the threshold voltages of the memory transistors 1a-1d by a verify circuit 8. The potential difference setting section 30 can respond to Detect signals from the verify circuit 8, that is, to the threshold voltages of the memory transistors to control the application time of potential difference or the magnitude of potential difference. In such a manner the overerasing can effectively be prevented and the erasing time can be optimized.
