Abstract
To reduce the area of a memory cell having a backup function. A storage device includes a cell array, and a row circuit and a column circuit that drive the cell array. The cell array includes a first power supply line, a second power supply line, a word line, a pair of bit lines, a memory cell, and a backup circuit. The cell array is located in a power domain where power gating can be performed. In the power gating sequence of the cell array, data in the memory cell is backed up to the backup circuit. The backup circuit is stacked over a region where the memory cell is formed. A plurality of wiring layers are provided between the backup circuit and the memory cell. The first power supply line, the second power supply line, the word line, and the pair of bit lines are located in different wiring layers.
