Abstract
The semiconductor memory device includes: an inverter pair of a cross-coupled first and second inverters; a first transfer transistor including a front gate and a back gate connected to a first node to which an output terminal of the first inverter and an input terminal of the second inverter are connected; a second transfer transistor including a front gate and a back gate connected to a second node to which an output terminal of the second inverter and an input terminal of the first inverter are connected; a driver transistor whose gate is connected to the second node; and a read transistor including a front gate, a back gate connected to the second node, and a current path whose one end is connected to one end of a current path of the driver transistor.
