- FIGS. 2A and 2B are cross-sectional views illustrating the operation of the semiconductor memory device according to one embodiment.
- an insulating film 4 is formed on a silicon substrate 8 on which a source region 5 and a drain region 6 are formed, and a first gate electrode 1 is formed on the insulating film 4, A ferroelectric film 3 is formed on the gate electrode 1 so as to cover the first gate electrode, and a second gate electrode 2 is formed so as to cover the ferroelectric film 3.
- the first gate electrode 1 and both sides of the ferroelectric film 3 are in contact with the insulating film 4, and a part of the region of the ferroelectric film 3 that is in contact with the insulating film 4, Source area 5 and the drain region 6.
- a region between the source region 5 and the drain region 6 in the silicon substrate 8 becomes a channel region 7.
- the silicon substrate 8 is a p-type silicon substrate, and the source region 5 and the drain region 6 are doped with n-type impurities.
- the region where the ferroelectric film 3 is in contact with the insulating film 4 is the potential difference given between the second gate electrode 2 and the silicon substrate 8 strongly induced? 2) It is distributed to the main film 3 and the insulating film 4.
- the t-position distributed in the ferroelectric film 3 is a ferroelectric range (when a triangular pressure is applied to the second gate electrode 2 so as to be larger than the polarization inversion pressure of the present example 3, the ferroelectricity is induced.
- the polarization of the region of the Hi main membrane 3 which is in contact with the insulating membrane 4 becomes downward.
- the downward polarization of the ferroelectric film 3 is applied to a region of the channel region 7 other than a region immediately below the first gate electrode 1.
- the potential of the region between the channel region 7 excluding the region under the first gate electrode 1 and the silicon J-plate 8 is lowered. Act on.

- the upward polarization of the ferroelectric film 3 induces a positive charge at the interface between the ferroelectric film 3 and the silicon substrate 8, but the positive charge is accumulated at the interface, so that the silicon substrate 8 is depleted. No layer is formed. Therefore, since the potential at the interface between the ferroelectric film 3 and the silicon substrate 8 is the same as the potential of the silicon substrate 8, no partial conduction channel region is formed in the channel region 7.

And, regardless of the polarization of the ferroelectric film 3, the ferroelectric ft! Body FET is in a non-conductive state. This state is maintained as long as the polarization of the ferroelectric film 3 remains, so that the ferroelectric FET can store data.

- the ferroelectric FET of the selected memory cell since the ferroelectric FET of the selected memory cell is off regardless of the polarization state, only the polarization state of the selected memory cell can be detected as the potential of the bit line B. That is, the first gate electrode 1 has a role of a gate for selecting a connection with the bit line B. Further, even if the word line W is set to a high potential in the read operation, no disturbance occurs for the above-described reason.
- Erasure of data that is, a state where the ferroelectric FET is off even when a voltage is applied to the first gate electrode 1, is achieved by making the polarization of the ferroelectric film 3 upward.
- the first control line WP is set to a low potential, for example, a ground potential, and the second control line BP connected to the selected memory cell is set to a high potential, thereby turning on the selection transistor TP and setting the second gate.
