Abstract:
By separately setting a capacitor on BL depending on whether the mode is a DRAM mode or an FRAM mode, it is compatible with improvement in a speed by BL capacitor reduction in the DRAM mode and a sufficient BL capacitance in the FRAM mode.A ferroelectric memory device includes: a plurality of bit lines BL disposed in a column direction; a plurality of word lines WL disposed in a row direction; a plurality of plate lines PL and a bit line capacitor control signal BLC; a ferroelectric memory cell (32) disposed at an intersection of the plurality of bit lines BL, the plurality of word lines WL, and the plurality of plate lines PL, and composed of a ferroelectric capacitor CF and a memory cell transistor QM; and a load capacitor adjustment cell (34) disposed at an intersection of the plurality of bit lines BL and the bit line capacitor control signal BLC, and composed of a load capacitor CL and a load capacitor adjustment transistor QL.
