Abstract:
The disclosure concerns a semiconductor memory device comprising a semiconductor layer; a charge trap film in contact with a first surface of the semiconductor layer; a gate insulating film in contact with a second surface of the semiconductor layer, the second surface being opposite to the first surface; a back gate electrode in contact with the charge trap film; a gate electrode in contact with the gate insulating film; a source and a drain formed in the semiconductor layer; and a body region provided between the drain and the source, the body region being in an electrically floating state, wherein a threshold voltage or a drain current of a memory cell including the source, the drain, and the gate electrode is adjusted by changing number of majority carriers accumulated in the body region and a quantity of charges trapped into the charge trap film.
