    Abstract: PURPOSE: To minimize substrate effect in a PMOS transistor and to increase the width of the voltage swing of a word line in a word line driver circuit for DRAMs. CONSTITUTION: A separation trench 66 is provided around the N well of a PMOS transistor 58. A pulse generator circuit 52 is provided to give a certain potential to the transistor 58 so that a word line 60 can be shifted to a negative potential on activation. Also, a negative power supply circuit 54 is provided to give a lower potential to the N well when the pulse generator circuit 52 is started.
