A semiconductor memory device includes a back gate electrode, a gate electrode on the back gate electrode, a channel layer between the gate electrode and the back gate electrode, a gate insulating layer between the channel layer and the gate electrode, and a ferroelectric layer between the back gate electrode and the channel layer.

Semiconductor memory device and electronic system including the same

A magnetic memory device includes a loop-type magnetic track having a first part and a second part that are arranged in a counterclockwise direction, a first conductive line on a top surface of the first part, and a second conductive line on a bottom surface of the second part. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, a spacer layer, and an upper magnetic layer that are sequentially stacked. Each of the first and second conductive lines includes heavy metal. Each of the first and second conductive lines is configured to generate spin-orbit torque caused by current that flows therein. The spin-orbit torque causes magnetic domains in the magnetic track to move in a clockwise direction or in the counterclockwise direction.

Magnetic memory device and method of operating the same

A three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor memory device includes a substrate including a cell array region, a connection region, and a block selection region between the cell array and connection regions, a stack structure including horizontal layers vertically stacked on the substrate, each of the horizontal layers including electrode portions extending in a first direction on the cell array and block selection regions and a connecting portion disposed on the connection region to connect the electrode portions in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and block selection gate electrodes intersecting sidewalls of the electrode portions of the horizontal layers on the block selection region. Each of the electrode portions includes a first semiconductor region having a first conductivity type on the cell array region and includes a channel dopant region having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type on the block selection region.
