    Abstract: A memory device includes pages, each being composed of a plurality of memory cells arrayed on a substrate in row form. The memory device controls voltages to be applied to a first gate conductor layer, a second gate conductor layer, a first impurity region, and a second impurity region of each of the memory cells included in the pages to perform a page write operation of holding a hole group formed by an impact ionization phenomenon or a gate induced drain leakage current in a channel semiconductor layer, and controls voltages to be applied to the first gate conductor layer, the second gate conductor layer, the third gate conductor layer, the fourth gate conductor layer, the first impurity region, and the second impurity region to perform a page erase operation of removing the hole group out of the channel semiconductor layer. The first impurity layer of each of the memory cells is connected to a source line, the second impurity region is connected to a bit line, one of the first gate conductor layer and the second gate conductor layer is connected to a word line, and the other is connected to a first driving control line. The bit line is connected to a sense amplifier circuit via a switching circuit. When in a page read operation, the memory device reads page data in a memory cell group selected by the word line to the bit line, and performs charge sharing between the bit line and a charge sharing node of the switching circuit opposite to the bit line to accelerate a read determination by the sense amplifier circuit.

    Abstract: A memory device includes at least one memory array made up of pages and bit lines. Each page includes multiple memory cells connected to a bit line. A plate line is connected to a first gate conductor layer, a source line is connected to an n+ layer, the bit line is connected to an n+ layer, and a word line is connected to a second gate conductor layer. A write operation of holding positive hole groups near a gate insulating layer and an erase operation of removing the positive hole groups are performed by controlling voltages applied to the source line, the bit line, the word line, the plate line, and the bottom line, where the positive hole groups are generated in a channel region of a third semiconductor layer by a gate induced drain leakage current.
