The present invention provides a semiconductor storage device having: a first conductivity type region formed in a semiconductor layer; a second conductivity type region formed in the semiconductor layer in contact with the first conductivity type region; a memory functional element disposed on the semiconductor layer across the boundary of the first and second conductivity type regions; and an electrode provided in contact with the memory functional element and on the first conductivity type region via an insulation film, and a portable electronic apparatus comprising the semiconductor storage device. The present invention can fully cope with scale-down and high-integration by constituting a selectable memory cell substantially of one device.
