ABSTRACT:
A redundancy substitution method for memory cells within an electrically writable and erasable semiconductor memory device, includes detecting a memory cell having a tendency of a charge loss and/or a charge gain, by use of a charge loss detecting reference cell and/or a charge gain detecting reference cell. The charge loss detecting reference cell has a threshold value set between a threshold value of a read reference cell and a threshold value of a write verify reference cell that is higher than that of the read reference cell, and the charge gain detecting reference cell has a threshold value set between the threshold value of the read reference cell and a threshold value of an erase verify reference cell that is lower than that of the read reference cell. The method subjects a memory cell whose tendency of the charge loss and/or the charge gain is detected to a redundancy substitution.
