20110158027 | REGULATOR CIRCUIT AND SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A semiconductor memory device includes a charge pump circuit for generating a pass pump voltage in response to a clock signal and a pump enable signal and a regulator circuit for maintaining the pass pump voltage in the same level as a program pass voltage during a program operation and discharging the program pass voltage during a verification operation so that the program pass voltage has the same level as a verification pass voltage. | 06-30-2011 |
20120314514 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A semiconductor memory device includes word lines stacked over a substrate having a plurality of memory block regions, select lines arranged over the word lines, vertical channel layers formed to penetrate through the select lines and the word lines and extending to the substrate, and a charge trap layer disposed between the word lines and the vertical channel layers, wherein the stacked word lines are separated by memory block groups that each include two or more memory block regions. | 12-13-2012 |
20140064002 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A semiconductor memory device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The device includes a memory block and one or more peripheral circuits. The memory block includes a bit line, a common source line, a vertical channel layer coupled between the bit line and the common source line, word lines surrounding the bit line at different heights from a semiconductor substrate, and memory cells formed in portions where the word lines surround the vertical channel layer. The one or more peripheral circuits are configured to set the word lines to a floating state to supply holes to the vertical channel layer when a precharge voltage is applied to the common source line, and set word lines of memory cells to be erased to a ground state when an erase voltage is applied to the common source line. | 03-06-2014 |
