Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY AND ITS DRIVING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3805659
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To read data stored in a ferroelectric capacitor even if a potential difference applied to the ferroelectric capacitor is lost by injection of electrons or positive holes.
SOLUTION: A field effect type transistor is constituted of a source region 101, a drain region 102, a channel region 103, a gate insulation film 104, and a floating gate electrode 105, a ferroelectric capacitor 113 is provided on the field effect type transistor through a insulation film. The ferroelectric capacitor 113 comprises a ferroelectric film 110, an upper side first electrode 111 and a lower side second electrode 112. For example, a direction of polarization of the ferroelectric film 110 is downward look and a first state in which the ferroelectric film 110 has an almost saturated polarization value is written as data '1', while a direction of polarization of the ferroelectric film 110 is downward look and a second state in which the ferroelectric film 110 has an almost zero polarization value is written as data '0'.
