ABSTRACT:
With this flash memory, because a plurality of memory blocks are formed on a surface of a single P-type well, a layout area can be made small. Further, when erasing data for a memory block to be erased, a voltage of the P-type well is applied to all word lines of a memory block to be not erased. Consequently, the voltage of the P-type well and the voltage of all word lines of the memory block to be not erased change at the same time. With this, it is possible to prevent a threshold voltage for the memory block to be not erased from changing.
