Abstract
An integrated circuit mounting a DRAM which can realize high integration without complicated manufacturing steps. The integrated circuit according to the invention comprises a DRAM in which a plurality of memory cells each having a thin film transistor are disposed. The thin film transistor comprises an active layer including a channel forming region, and first and second electrodes overlapping with each other with the channel forming region interposed therebetween. By controlling a drain voltage of the thin film transistor according to data, it is determined whether to accumulate holes in the channel forming region or not, and data is read out by confirming whether or not holes are accumulated.
