Abstract

A DRAM having a data preset function is disclosed. A memory cell includes connectors which are formed of contact holes or through holes and which can be selectively formed in order to program preset data. For example, when preset data "0" is programmed, connectors are formed, and connector 17 is not formed. When a data precharge signal of a high level is applied, a transistor is turned on and as a result, a data storage capacitor is discharged. In other words, predetermined data is written into capacitor. Thus, the DRAM having the data preset function is provided.
