Abstract

A first ferroelectric memory cell and a second ferroelectric memory cell each include a ferroelectric capacitor and a transistor and each store one set of information. A word-line is shared by the first and second ferroelectric memory cells. A first plate line is connected to the first ferroelectric memory cell and a second plate line is connected to the second ferroelectric memory cell. A selection transistor has one end connected to the first and second ferroelectric memory cells and the other end connected to a bit-line.
