Abstract
A memory device which includes a gain-cell memory cell formed using an n-channel transistor and in which a potential lower than a potential applied to a bit line is not necessary is provided. Memory cells included in the memory device are arranged in a matrix, and each of the memory cells is connected to a write word line, a write bit line, a read word line, and a read bit line. The write word line is arranged in parallel to one of directions of a row and a column of memory cells arranged in a matrix, and the write bit line is arranged in parallel to the other of the directions of the row and the column. The read word line is arranged in parallel to the one of the directions of the row and the column of the memory cells arranged in a matrix, and the read bit line is arranged in parallel to the other of the directions of the row and the column.
