A memory capable of suppressing disturbance is provided. This memory activates each of a selected word line and a bit line corresponding to unrewritten storage means while keeping potential difference therebetween at a level not more than a prescribed value and differentiates the length of a period for applying a voltage for rewriting to each of the selected word line and a bit line corresponding to rewritten storage means from the length of a transition period of the potential of at least either the word line or the bit line corresponding to the unrewritten storage means when performing a rewrite operation on partial selected storage means or performing no rewrite operation on all selected storage means.

A memory capable of suppressing disturbance causing disappearance of data in a nonselected memory cell is provided. This memory comprises a memory cell array including a bit line, a word line arranged to intersect with the bit line and memory cells connected between the bit line and the word line, for accessing a selected memory cell thereby deteriorating a remanent polarization in an arbitrary memory cell and thereafter performing recovery for recovering all memory cells to remanent polarizations immediately after a write operation or remanent polarizations subjected to single application of a voltage applied to a nonselected memory cell in the access.

摘要:
A memory wherein any “disturb effect” can be suppressed in which data in unselected memory cells are lost. This memory has a memory cell array (1) including bit lines, word lines, which are disposed to intersect the bit lines, and memory cells (12) each connected between bit and word lines. In this memory, an access operation, which includes at least one of read, rewrite and write operations, is made to a selected memory cell (12). During this access operation, it is performed to apply to the memory cell (12) a first voltage pulse, which provides an electrical field in a first direction so as to invert a stored data, and a second voltage pulse, which provides as electrical field in the opposite direction to the first one so as not to invert the stored data. In addition, a recovery operation for recovering a residual polarization amount is made to the memory cell (12).

A memory capable of suppressing reduction of a reading voltage in data reading regardless of dispersion in a manufacturing process is provided. This memory comprises charge storage means, a first field-effect transistor and data determination means. The memory sets a voltage between a control terminal and a remaining first terminal of the first field-effect transistor to a threshold voltage for bringing the first field-effect transistor into an OFF-state in the vicinity of a boundary state between ON- and OFF-states through the threshold voltage of the first field-effect transistor.

A memory capable of suppressing disturbance causing disappearance of data from a nonselected memory cell is provided. This memory applies a second voltage of polarity reverse to that of a first voltage applied to a nonselected memory cell in a read operation to at least the nonselected memory cell in addition to the read operation collectively performed on all memory cells connected to a selected word line.
