    摘要: In a memory cell array of a semiconductor memory device, a plurality of detection circuits (14, 15, 20) are provided in correspondence with a plurality of columns. An output line (L) is provided in common to the detection circuits (14, 15 20). The output line (L) is provided with plural junction points (n1 to nn) to which detection results from the detection circuits (14, 15 20) are separately applied. Dividing transistors (T1 to Tn) are provided between the junction points (n1 to nn). During testing, the word lines (WL1 to WLn) are selected sequentially. Test results for the memory cells (MC1 to MC4) connected to the selected word line are outputted at the corresponding junction points (n1 to nn), respectively. Simultaneously, a dividing transistor corresponding to the selected word line is rendered non-conductive, the remaining dividing transistors being rendered conductive. As a result, the output line (L) is divided into two parts at a portion of the non-conductive transistor. Detection results outputted to the respective divided parts of the output line (L) are monitored and a portion at which a detection result is changed in each divided part is found out.

    摘要: An address decoding circuit for a functional block comprises branch portions serially connected with each other, in which a selecting signal is outputted on one of two output portions in accordance with the first bit information of an address signal when a selecting signal is applied to the first stage branch portion. The second stage output portion, to which the selecting signal is applied, outputs a selecting signal on one of two output portions in response to the second bit information of the address signal, in accordance with the selecting signal. Thereafter, each branch portion of the third to last stages outputs a selecting signal on one of two output portions in response to respective contents of the third bit to last bit of the address signal in accordance with the selecting signal applied from the preceding stage. By this selecting signal, a memory cell as a functional block portion is selected and is activated.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device of a redundancy configuration having lines (rows or columns) of main memory cells and a line of spare memory cells made to substitute a defective line responsive to the address of the defective line, a comparator compares an address input to the memory device, with the address of the defective line which has been programmed in it, and a spare line selector selects the spare line when the input address is found to coincide with the programmed address. A line decoder is responsive to the input address for selecting one of the lines of the normal memory cells, and is inactivated by the output of the comparator when the input address is found to coincide with the programmed address. An input address to the line decoder is applied before the same input address is applied to the comparator.

    摘要: In the semiconductor memory device according to the present invention, a n type drain diffused region (9a) to be connected to a bit line (12) is formed on a p type semiconductor substrate (1) and a n type source diffused region (9b) is formed with a prescribed spacing from the n type drain region (9a). On the p type silicon substrate (1), a p type diffused region (16a) of high impurity density and p type diffused region (16b) of high impurity density are formed in such a manner that they are in contact with the n type drain diffused region (9a) and the n type source diffused region (9b), respectively, but not in the channel region of the n channel MOS transistor (18). Consequently, the .alpha. particle-generated charges can be decreased without changing the threshold voltage of the transfer gate transistor.
