Abstract
A ferroelectric non-volatile memory device comprising a MOS cell transistor, two ferroelectric capacitors each of which has one terminal connected to the gate electrode of the cell transistor and has almost the same remanent polarization, and a selector transistor connected to the other terminal of one ferroelectric capacitor, wherein data is stored by polarizing the ferroelectric thin films of the capacitors in opposite directions with respect to the gate electrode of the cell transistor.
