Abstract

See full text

A memory cell unit including: a semiconductor substrate having a source diffusion layer provided in a surface thereof; a column-shaped semiconductor layer provided on the source diffusion layer and having a drain diffusion layer provided in an uppermost portion thereof; a memory cell arrangement which includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in series with the intervention of a first impurity diffusion layer; a first selection transistor connected to one end of the memory cell arrangement with the intervention of a second impurity diffusion layer and connected to the drain diffusion layer; and a second selection transistor connected to the other end of the memory cell arrangement with the intervention of a third impurity diffusion layer and connected to the source diffusion layer; wherein a distance between the third impurity diffusion layer and the source diffusion layer is greater than a distance between impurity diffusion layers disposed on opposite sides of each of the memory cells, whereby punch-through of the second selection transistor is prevented when a writing prevention voltage is applied between the source diffusion layer and the first impurity diffusion layer.
