1. A memory device including a semiconductor element, the memory device comprising a memory cell, wherein
the memory cell includes:
a semiconductor base material extending in a direction horizontal to a substrate;
a first impurity region formed in a direction in which the semiconductor base material extends;
a first gate insulating layer partially covering the semiconductor base material and the first impurity region;
a first gate conductor layer formed in proximity to the first impurity region and partially covering the first gate insulating layer;
a second gate insulating layer partially covering the first semiconductor base material without contacting the first gate conductor layer;
a second gate conductor layer partially covering the second gate insulating layer without contacting the first gate conductor layer; and
a second impurity region formed at part of the semiconductor base material between the first gate conductor layer and the second gate conductor layer,
the first impurity region is connected to a bit line, the second impurity region is connected to a source line, the first gate conductor layer is connected to a word line, the second gate conductor layer is connected a plate line, and
memory writing and/or erasure is performed by applying independent voltage to each of the source line, the bit line, the plate line, and the word line.
