Abstract
A plurality of three-terminal variable resistance switching elements each having a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode are connected to each other in series. The source electrode of each of the three-terminal variable resistance switching elements and the drain electrode of its adjacent three-terminal variable resistance switching element are connected to each other through a wiring segment to form a lane. A potential holding section for holding a predetermined potential level is connected to the wiring segment. A column group is configured by selecting one of the three-terminal variable resistance elements in each lane. A common gate line is connected to each of the gate electrodes of the three-terminal variable resistance elements belonging to the column group.
