Abstract: A memory cell has a structure, in which an inter-electrode material layer is sandwiched between a first electrode and a second electrode. Data is stored by a change in a resistance value between the first electrode and the second electrode. The resistance value when a memory element is in a high resistance state is expressed as R_mem_high; the resistance value when the memory element is in a low resistance state is expressed as R_mem_low1; the resistance value of a load circuit is expressed as R_load; the reading voltage is expressed as Vread by setting the voltage of a second power supply line to the reference voltage; and the threshold voltage is expressed as Vth_critical. In writing data into the memory cell, the low resistance state is created so that these parameters satisfy specific relations. The load circuit is formed by an element having the same structure as of the memory element of the memory cell. The memory cell is therefore arranged such that data reading can be more easily and more precisely performed by setting specific conditions for writing into the memory cell.
