Abstract
According to one embodiment, there is provided a semiconductor memory device including a memory cell. The memory cell includes a first driving transistor, a first load transistor, a first read transfer transistor, a first write transfer transistor, a second driving transistor, a second load transistor, a second read transfer transistor, a second write transfer transistor, and one or more variable resistance elements. The one or more variable resistance elements has resistance that changes depending on a direction of a bias applied to both terminals. The one or more variable resistance elements are arranged in at least one of a portion between a first storage node and a first write transfer transistor and a portion between a second storage node and a second write transfer transistor.
