For the purpose of providing an inexpensive memory from which test results can be certainly read out, a semiconductor device having a BIST circuit (built-in self test circuit) comprises a RAM for use in processing to be tested incorporated in a data processing system, a built-in self test circuit making a built-in self test on the RAM for use in processing, and a RAM for tester storing test results of the RAM for use in processing obtained by the built-in self test circuit so that the test results can be read out by an external tester, wherein a RAM having a data read-out margin greater than a data read-out margin of the RAM for use in processing is used as the RAM for tester.
