Claim Text:
1. A direct-transfer marching memory including an array of memory units, each of the memory units having a sequence of bit-level cells so as to store information of byte size or word size, the information of byte size or word size is transferred synchronously, step by step, along a direction orthogonal to a direction of the sequence of bit-level cells, each of the bit-level cells comprising an electron-storage region configured to accumulate cell-electrons, wherein the cell-electrons accumulated in one of the electron-storage regions in a subject memory unit is directly transferred to an adjacent electron-storage region, which is assigned in the next memory unit adjacent to the subject memory unit, the transfer of the cell-electrons is directly controlled by control signals, without using a combinational function of a logic gate circuit.
