    摘要: A pair of impurity regions are formed at a specified interval in a semiconductor substrate. A channel region is defined between the impurity regions. A select gate is provided on the channel region, and a sidewall for holding electric charge is provided along a side of the select gate. A tunnel insulating film is interposed between the sidewall for holding electric charge and the channel region. An insulating film covers the sidewall for holding electric charge. A control gate is provided on the insulating film lying over the sidewall. In such a structure, since the select gate can have a large cross-sectional area, speed-up of the reading can be attained.

    摘要: A data memory device is provided that is capable of reading data accurately even if the reading action is repeated. Respective output ends of memory cells D0-D7 and input ends on one side of respective exclusive OR elements Eo0-Eo7 are interconnected, and the output end of a polarity holding cell Dc and the input ends on the other side of the respective exclusive OR elements Eo0-Eo7 are interconnected. When it is assumed that the stored value of the memory cell D0 is a logic “1” and the stored value of the polarity holding cell Dc is a logic “0,” the value of the output data Do0 read out becomes a logic “1”. By the reversal writing action that follows, the value of the memory cell D0 becomes a logic “0” and the stored value of the polarity holding cell Dc becomes a logic “1.” When the value of the memory cell D0 is read again in that state, the value of the output data Do0 is still a logic “1.” That is to say, even if data reading action is repeated, values of the output data Do0-Do7 remain unchanged. However, the direction of polarization of respective ferroelectric capacitors constituting the memory cells D0-D7 and the polarity holding cell Dc are reversed every time of the reading.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having a source region, a drain region, a channel region between the source region and the drain region, a gate consisting of at least three input electrodes provided above the channel region, and a potential modulating film provided between the channel region and the gate. The potential modulating film can assume at least two potential modulating states, so that the potential of the channel region is modulated between and held at different values. The potential of the channel region is modulated by changing the state of the potential modulating film. Specifically, the potential of the channel region is modulated by not only applying voltages to the input electrodes but also controlling the state of the potential modulating film. If in processing at least three input signals, a predetermined one of them corresponds to control of the state of the potential modulating film and the remaining input signals correspond to the input voltages to the input electrodes, the number of wires can be decreased.
