In a conventional DRAM, a decrease in the capacitance of a capacitor causes an error in reading data. A plurality of memory blocks MB is connected to one bit line BL_m. Each memory block MB includes a sub bit line SBL, a plurality of memory cells, and a precharge transistor. The drain of a transistor of the memory cell is connected one of the bit line BL_m and the sub bit line SBL, whereas a capacitor of the memory cell is connected to the other one of the bit line BL_m and the sub bit line SBL. The capacitance of the sub bit line SBL is sufficiently low; thus, a potential change due to electric charges of the capacitor of the memory cell can be amplified by an amplifier circuit AMP without an error and the amplified signal can be output to the bit line. |
