Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a first and a second TFET whose gates and drains are cross-coupled. The drain of the first TFET is connected to a first node. The drain of the second TFET is connected to a second node. Included are a first access transistor connecting the first node to a first write bit line, a second access transistor connecting the second node to a second write bit line, and a third access transistor connecting the first node to a first read bit line. The first access transistor is constructed of a TFET connected in such a manner as that current flows from the first node to the first write bit line upon turning-on. The second access transistor is constructed of a TFET connected in such a manner as that current flows from the second node to the second write bit line upon turning-on.
