It is an object of the present invention to provide a volatile organic
memory in which data can be written other than during manufacturing and
falsification by rewriting can be prevented, and to provide a
semiconductor device including such an organic memory. It is a feature of
the invention that a semiconductor device includes a plurality of bit
lines extending in a first direction; a plurality of word lines extending
in a second direction different from the first direction; a memory cell
array including a plurality of memory cells each provided at one of
intersections of the bit lines and the word lines; and memory elements
provided in the memory cells, wherein the memory elements include bit
lines, an organic compound layer, and the word lines, and the organic
compound layer includes a layer in which an inorganic compound and an
organic compound are mixed.
