Abstract
A ferroelectric memory capable of improving disturbance resistance in a non-selected cell by increasing the ratio between voltages applied to ferroelectric capacitors of a selected cell and the non-selected cell respectively is obtained. This ferroelectric memory comprises a bit line, a word line arranged to intersect with the bit line and a memory cell including a switching element arranged between the bit line and the word line and turned on with a threshold voltage having a substantially identical absolute value with respect to either of positive and negative voltage application directions and a ferroelectric capacitor arranged between the bit line and the word line and serially connected to the switching element.
