Abstract

A switching transistor is provided which applies predetermined voltage to a plurality of word lines based on a predetermined signal from a power on reset circuit, until predetermined potential becomes stable, when the predetermined potential is applied to the bit line or to the plate line, such as at the time of power on, to connect the bit line connected to each memory cell and the memory cell capacitor, as well as applies a control signal to the gate to thereby electrically connect the bit line and the plate line.
