First dummy memory cells connected to a first dummy signal line have the same shape and characteristics as those of a real memory cell. The first dummy memory cells are arranged to be adjacent to outermost real memory cells. A voltage setting circuit changes the voltage of the first dummy signal line from a first voltage to a second voltage in order to write test data onto the first dummy memory cell during a test mode. By writing data of a logic opposite to that of the test data onto the real memory cell adjacent to the first dummy memory cell by means of an operation control circuit, a leak failure that may occur between the first dummy memory cell and the real memory cell adjacent thereto can be checked.
