摘要: A semiconductor circuit or a MOS-DRAM wherein converting means is provided that converts substrate potential body bias between two values for MOS-FETs in logic circuit, memory cells, and operating of the MOS-DRAM, thereby raising threshold voltage when standby state lowering it active state. The includes level shift switch circuit. controlled only which are nonconducting state; this configuration achieves reduction power consumption associated with switching. Furthermore, structure where same conductivity type formed adjacent to each other, SOI preferable better results.
