A ferroelectric memory cap of sufficiently reading information on remnant polarization. The ferroelectric memory comprises: a memory cell array wherein memory cells, each of which comprises a ferroelectric capacitor and a transistor, are arranged and wherein word lines for selecting the memory cells, plate lines for applying a driving voltage to one end of the ferroelectric capacitor, and bit lines, to which the other end of the ferroelectric capacitor is selectively connected, are provided; and a sense amplifier for detecting and amplifying a signal which is read out from the ferroelectric capacitor to the bit line, and further comprises a bit line voltage control circuit for dropping a voltage of a bit line, from which a signal is read out, by a coupling capacitor during a data reading operation before the sense amplifier circuit is operated.
