A semiconductor circuit which realizes a read-only memory cell having zero stand-by power consumption and capable of non-volatile storage of multiple-valued or analog data. This semiconductor device is comprises of at least a single-channel or p-channel MOS transistor in a source-follower circuit configuration.

The voltages applied to the control gates and the coupling ratios of the control gates determine the potential of the floating gate. When a voltage supply is applied to the drain electrode of the source-follower circuit, the source-electrode potential will nearly equal the floating gate potential.
