Abstract: A memory device includes pages each constituted by memory cells, and a page write operation and a page erase operation are performed. First and second impurity layers and first and second gate conductor layers in each memory cell is connected to a source line, a bit line, a word line, and a driving control line. In a page read operation, page data is read. In the page write and read operations, a selected driving control line is lowered to zero volt at a first reset time, the driving control line is isolated from a driving circuit at a second reset time, thereby putting the driving control line in a zero-volt floating state, and a selected word line is set at zero volt at a third reset time, thereby putting the driving control line in a negative-voltage floating state by capacitive coupling between the word line and the driving control line.

Abstract: In a memory device, a page is composed of memory cells arranged in rows, and pages are arranged in columns in plan view on a substrate. Each memory cell has a semiconductor base, a first impurity layer and a second impurity layer at both ends in an extension direction of the semiconductor base, and at least two (first and second) gate conductor layers. The first impurity layer is connected to a source line, the second impurity layer to a bit line, one of the first or second gate conductor layer to a selection gate line, and the other to a plate line. Voltages applied to the source line, bit line, selection gate line, and plate line are controlled to perform page erasing and writing operations. A hole group formed by impact ionization is retained within the semiconductor base to have logic storage data that is at least three-valued.
