A nonvolatile ferroelectric perpendicular electrode cell comprises a
ferroelectric capacitor and a serial PN diode switch. The ferroelectric
capacitor includes a word line perpendicular electrode as a first
electrode and a storage perpendicular electrode as a second electrode
apart at a predetermined interval from the word line perpendicular
electrode to have a column type, where a ferroelectric material is filled
in a space where the first electrode are separated from the second
electrode. The serial PN diode switch, which is connected between a bit
line and the ferroelectric capacitor, selectively switches a current
direction between the bit line and the ferroelectric capacitor depending
on voltage change between the bit line and the ferroelectric capacitor.
