Abstract
To provide an address programming device free from laser-blowing, a first, thin gate oxide film is formed on a semiconductor substrate, a first gate electrode is formed thereon, a second, thick gate oxide film is formed thereon, and a second gate electrode is formed thereon. Such a device is connected in series to a MOS transistor of the opposite polarity and such arrangements are cross-connected together to form a latch circuit. Data to be programmed and the inverted version thereof are written in the programming device. Programmed information is read depending on the change in weight of the latch when the power supply is turned on.
