Description

ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device has at least one memory cell which includes first and second tunnel diodes connected in series in a forward-bias direction between first and second power source terminals. The first and second power source terminals are held at constant potentials. A switching MOS transistor is connected at one end to a connection point between the first and second tunnel diodes. The potential at the connection point between the first and second tunnel diodes is determined by the potential at the other end of the switching MOS transistor.
