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 configuration for efficiently placing a group of capacitors with one terminal connected to a common node is described. The capacitors are stacked and folded along the common node. In a stack and fold configuration, devices are stacked vertically (directly or with a horizontal offset) with one terminal of the devices being shared to a common node, and further the capacitors are placed along both sides of the common node. The common node is a point of fold. In one example, the devices are capacitors. N number of capacitors can be divided in L number of stack layers such that there are N/L capacitors in each stacked layer. The N/L capacitors are shorted together with an electrode (e.g., bottom electrode). The electrode can be metal, a conducting oxide, or a combination of a conducting oxide and a barrier material. The capacitors can be planar, non-planar or replaced by memory elements.
