Abstract

A semiconductor storage device in which product cost is reduced includes a memory cell section (cells belonging to word lines) and a bypass section (cells belonging to bypass word lines). The memory cell section has a select gate, floating gates, a first diffusion region, a second diffusion region and a first control gate. The bypass section has the first select gate, the first diffusion region, the second diffusion region and a second control gate. The second control gate controls a channel in an area between the select gate and the first diffusion region or between the select gate and the second diffusion region. The channel of the bypass section becomes a current supply path when a cell of the memory cell section is read out.
