Abstract: A semiconductor device including an SRAM capable of sensing a defective memory cell that does not satisfy desired characteristics is provided. The semiconductor device includes a memory cell, a bit line pair being coupled to the memory cell and having a voltage changed towards a power-supply voltage and a ground voltage in accordance with data of the memory cell in a read mode, and a specifying circuit for specifying a bit line out of the bit line pair. In the semiconductor device, a wiring capacitance is coupled to the bit line specified by the specifying circuit and a voltage of the specified bit line is set to a voltage between a power voltage and a ground voltage in a test mode.

Abstract: When a screening test at a normal temperature is performed instead of a low temperature screening test of SRAM, overkill is reduced and risk of outflow of defects due to local variation is suppressed.An SRAM including a word line, a bit line pair, a memory cell, and a drive circuit that drives the bit line pair is provided with a function that can drive one bit line of the bit line pair at a high level (VDD) potential and drive the other bit line at an intermediate potential (VSS+several tens mV to one handled and several tens mV) a little higher than a low level (VSS) potential for normal writing when writing data into the memory cell.
