Abstract
A semiconductor storage device includes a first bit line and a second bit line. A nonvolatile memory element and a first cell transistor are connected in series between the first bit line and the second bit line. A sense transistor has a gate connected to a sense node which is provided between the first bit line and the memory element. A read bit line is connected to a source or a drain of the sense transistor. The read bit line is configured to transmit data of the memory element. A sense amplifier is configured to detect the logic of data transmitted from the read bit line.
