Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016126811
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor memory device capable of reducing power consumption, and further to provide a method for driving the same.SOLUTION: A semiconductor memory device comprises first and second TFETs in which gates and drains are cross-connected. The drain of the first TFET is connected to a first node, and the drain of the second TFET is connected to a second node. The semiconductor memory device further includes: a first access transistor connecting the first node to a first write bit line; a second access transistor connecting the second node to a second write bit line; and a third access transistor connecting the first node to a first read bit line. The first access transistor is composed of a TFET connected so that current flows from the first node to the first write bit when it enters an on-state. The second access transistor is composed of a TFET connected so that current flows from the second node to the second write bit line when it enters an on-state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
