    摘要: According to a semiconductor memory for one aspect of the present invention, a memory cell transistor is formed in a P-type first well region which is formed at the surface of a P-type semiconductor substrate, and a back bias voltage is applied to the P-type first well region and the P-type substrate. Further, an N-type retrograde region is formed by implanting a high energy N-type impurity, so that a deeper, N-type second well region is formed by employing the N-type retrograde region. Further, a P-type third well region is formed in the N-type second well region, and a P-type emitter region is also formed therein. Thus, together the P-type emitter region, the N-type second well region, and the P-type third well region constitute a lateral PNP transistor. In addition, the ground voltage is maintained for the P-type third well region, which serves as a collector region.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a memory device including memory cells each formed of a cell transistor connected to bit and word line and a cell capacitor. The memory device includes a pre-charging circuit for pre-charging bit line to a first voltage, a sense amplifier for detecting voltages of bit lines and driving the bit lines to a second voltage for H level or a third voltage for L level, and a word line driving circuit for driving word lines to make the writing voltage for H level of the cell capacitor to a fourth voltage lower than the second voltage. The present invention is characterized in that the first voltage is lower than an intermediate value between the second and third voltages. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to prevent the voltage V.sub.ds of the cell transistor from being zero by setting the writing voltage (fourth voltage) for H level of the cell capacitor to be lower than the voltage for H level (second voltage) of the bit line, thus reducing a time of writing or re-writing data. Additionally, a pre-charge voltage (first voltage) of the bit lines is set to be lower than the half of the amplitude of the bit line. Thereby, it also becomes possible to prevent the very small voltage of the bit line from being smaller according to the lowered H level voltage in the memory cell.
