Abstract
Techniques for providing a direct injection semiconductor memory device having ganged carrier injection lines are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus including a first region coupled to a bit line and a second region coupled to a source line. The apparatus may also comprise a body region spaced apart from and capacitively coupled to a word line, wherein the body region is electrically floating and disposed between the first region and the second region. The apparatus may further comprise a third region coupled to a constant voltage source via a carrier injection line configured to inject charges into the body region through the second region.
