    Abstract: A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes first to third cell array layers sequentially stacked on a substrate. Each of the first to third cell array layers includes memory cells arranged along first and second directions crossing each other and parallel to a top surface of the substrate. Each of the memory cells includes a variable resistance element and a tunnel field effect transistor connected in series. The device further includes bit lines extending along the first direction between the first and second cell array layers and at least one source line extending along either the first direction or the second direction between the second and third cell array layers. The memory cells of the first and second cell array layers share the bit lines, and the memory cells of the second and third cell array layers share the source line.

    Abstract: A method of sensing multi-bit data stored in a resistive memory cell includes; determining a resistive value range for the memory cell by performing a first read operation using a first read voltage and a first reference current, determining whether the multi-bit data stored in the resistive memory cell has a first program state, upon determining that the multi-bit data stored does not have the first program state, selecting a second read voltage different from the first read voltage in response to the resistive value range of the resistive memory cell, and using the second read voltage to again determine whether the multi-bit data stored in the resistive memory cell has the first program state.

    Abstract: A sensing circuit includes a plurality of cell read current generators, a reference current generator and a plurality of sense amplifiers. Each of the cell read current generators generates a cell read current from each of a plurality of memory cells. The reference current generator sums the cell read currents to generate a sum current. Each of the sense amplifiers determines data state stored in each of the memory cells based on each of the cell read currents and an average current. The average current is obtained based on the sum current.
