    摘要: A memory circuit includes a memory array including a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell including a gate structure including a ferroelectric layer and a channel layer adjacent to the gate structure, the channel layer including a metal oxide material. A driver circuit is configured to output a gate voltage to the gate structure of a memory cell, the gate voltage having a positive polarity and a first magnitude in in a first write operation and a negative polarity and a second magnitude in in a second write operation, and to control the second magnitude to be greater than the first magnitude.
