To provide a logical operation circuit and a logical operation device
which can performs a logical operation using a ferroelectric capacitor.
The area ratio between the ferroelectric capacitors CF1 and CF2 are set
such that the potential difference Vdef between voltages Va1 and Va0 is
as large as possible, and a transistor MP has a threshold voltage Vth
which is about 1/2(Va0+Va1). Thus, the ON/OFF operation margin of the
transistor MP can be significantly large. As a result, a reading process
can be performed at a high speed without using an amplifying circuit such
as a sense amplifier. Also, the logical operation circuit and the logical
operation device can be highly integrated with ease since no sense
amplifier is used.
