Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a memory cell, decoders, a redundancy circuit and a mode setting circuit. The memory cell array has word lines including a redundant word line, bit lines and memory cells. A row decoder selects the word lines in response to a row address. Further, the row address decoder selects the redundant word line when a replacement signal is received. A column decoder selects the bit lines in response to a column address. A row address redundancy circuit stores a redundant row address. The row address redundancy circuit provides the replacement signal when the redundant row address corresponds to the received address. The mode setting circuit receives a mode signal having a normal mode and a test mode. The mode setting circuit outputs the replacement signal to the row decoder when the mode signal is in the normal mode, and prohibits an output of the replacement signal.
