Abstract

In a memory unit, voltages required for operations of a capacity transistor in a first well and a writing transistor in a second well are separately applied to a first deep well and a second deep well, without the voltages on the first deep well and the second deep well being restricted by each other. Thus, in the memory unit, each of a voltage difference between the first deep well and the first well and a voltage difference between the second deep well and the second well is made smaller than a voltage difference (18 [V]), at which a tunneling effect occurs, and accordingly a junction voltage between the first deep well and the first well and a junction voltage between the second deep well and the second well are low.
