Abstract

See full text

The voltage Vdd is set to be lower than in the normal operation (step S100), then voltage is applied to each of the power-supply voltage applied node Vdd, the ground voltage applied node Vss, the semiconductor substrate and the well so that relative high voltage between the gate of turn-on transistor and the semiconductor substrate or the gate of turn-on transistor and well (steps S110 and S120). This process accomplishes rising of the threshold voltage of the transistor that is turned on, the reduction of the variation in the threshold voltage between a plurality of the transistors of the memory cell including latch circuit, and the improvement of the voltage characteristic of the memory cell.
