    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory element (130) constituting a flash memory is constructed such that a gate oxide film (GO2) and a gate electrode (GT2) of a transitor of another circuit formed over the same semiconductor substrate are a tunnel oxide film (GO3) and a floating gate electrode (FGT), respectively. One memory cell has a two-element one-bit construction composed of a pair of nonvolatile memory elements connected with paired complementary data lines. For the paired nonvolatile memory elements, threshold voltage states which are different from each other are set up so that they are differentially read. A word line voltage in reading operation is substantially equal to a threshold voltage (initial threshold voltage) in a thermal by equilibrium state of the non-volatile memory elements, desirably to an average of the low threshold voltage and the high threshold voltage of the memory elements. No matter whether the paired nonvolatile memory elements may be in the high threshold voltage state or in the low threshold voltage state, their threshold voltage are liable to approach the initial threshold voltage asymptotically to deteriorate in their characteristics. At this time, a word line selecting voltage is substantially equal to the initial threshold voltage, so that the read failure hardly occurs even if the characteristic deterioration of one memory element progresses relatively.

    Abstract: Shared contact holes SC1 and SC2 reach both gate electrode layers GE1 and GE2 and a drain region PIR. In a planar view, a sidewall E2 of gate electrode layers GE1 and GE2 is shifted toward a side of a sidewall E4 from a virtual extended line E1a of the sidewall E1. In a planar view, a center line (C2-C2) of a line width D1 in a portion that shared contact holes SC1 and SC2 of gate electrode layers GE1 and GE2 reach is located while shifted with respect to a center line (C1-C1) of a line width D2 in a portion located on channel formation regions CHN1 and CHN2 of gate electrode layers GE1 and GE2. Therefore, a semiconductor device such as an SRAM or TCAM and a photomask that can suppress an opening defect of the shared contact hole are obtained.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device has operation modes selectable through the control by a second microcomputer (113). In a first mode, an operation of a memory controller (105) responding to a memory card command from a memory card interface terminal and an operation of a first microcomputer (106) responding to an IC card command from an IC card interface terminal are separately performed. In a second mode, the first microcomputer operates in response to the IC card command from the IC card interface terminal. In a third mode, the memory controller and the first microcomputer operate in response to an undefined IC card command from the IC card interface terminal. In a fourth mode, the memory controller and the first microcomputer operate in response to the memory card command from the memory card interface terminal. Convenience of the semiconductor device having an IC card function and a memory card function is improved.
