    Abstract: Disclosed are a non-volatile content addressable memory device having a simple cell configuration and/or an operating method thereof. The non-volatile content addressable memory device includes a plurality of unit cells, wherein each of the plurality of unit cells consists of or includes a first ferroelectric transistor and a second ferroelectric transistor The first and second ferroelectric transistors are of different types such as different electrical types from each other. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may be connected in series or in parallel to each other. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one word line and one match line. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one search line. One of the first and second ferroelectric transistors may be connected to a search line and the other one may be connected to a bar search line. The first and second ferroelectric transistors may share one match line.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first source/drain structure including a first semiconductor region and a first electrode in electrical contact with the first semiconductor region; a second source/drain structure including a second semiconductor region and a second electrode in electrical contact with the second semiconductor region; a channel between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region; and a gate structure including a gate insulating film covering the channel and a gate electrode covering the gate insulating film. The first source/drain structure further includes a silicide film between the first semiconductor region and the first electrode and a conductive barrier between the silicide film and the first electrode. The conductive barrier includes a conductive two-dimensional material.
