Abstract
A semiconductor device of the present invention has a memory cell array having plural CMOS static memory cells provided at intersecting portions of plural word lines and plural complementary bit lines. In the memory cell array, a switch MOSFET which is in an OFF state in a first operation mode and in an ON state in a second operation mode different from the first operation mode and first-conductivity-type and second-conductivity-type MOSFETs having a diode configuration are provided in parallel between a first source line to which sources of first-conductivity-type MOSFETs constituting first and second CMOS inverter circuits constituting the plural static memory cells are connected and a first power supply line corresponding to the first source line. A second source line to which sources of the second conductivity-type MOSFETs constituting the first and second CMOS inverter circuits are connected is connected to the second power supply line corresponding thereto.
