Semiconductor device for applying common source lines with individual bias voltages

Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device for applying common source lines with individual bias voltages. The device includes a substrate, cell transistors arrayed in a cell matrix shape on the substrate and configured to have gate insulating patterns, gate electrodes, common source regions, drain regions and channel regions. Word lines are configured to electrically interconnect the gate electrodes with each other. Common source lines are shared between only a pair of the neighboring word lines and are configured to electrically interconnect the common source regions with each other. Drain metal contacts and source metal contacts are arranged in a straight line on the drain regions. Bit lines are electrically connected to the drain metal contacts. And impurity regions are configured to control the threshold voltage of the channel regions.
