Abstract
In a CMOS type static RAM, a substrate bias voltage VPP higher than a power supply voltage supplied from an outer unit is supplied to an N type substrate region of a PMOS transistor of a CMOS inverter forming a word line driving circuit to bias the N type substrate region to the bias voltage VPP and to a power supply terminal of the CMOS inverter as a power supply voltage. Whereby, resistance of storage data to incidence of radioactive rays is increased just after writing to a storage node of a memory cell is ended, and a soft error generation rate can be easily reduced.
