    摘要: Circuits and methods that enable screening for defective or weak memory cells in a semiconductor memory device. In one aspect, a semiconductor memory device comprises first and second drivers for a SRAM cell. The first driver is connected between a power supply voltage and the cell, which supplies the power supply voltage into the cell in response to a cell power control signal. The second driver is connected between the power supply signal and the cell, which supplies a voltage lower than the power supply voltage into the cell in response to the cell power down signal. A method for screening for defective or weak cells does not require a time for stabilizing a circuit condition after voltage variation to supply the voltage lower than the power supply voltage from a conventional tester because the cell power down signal activates a driver that causes a supply voltage that is lower than the power supply voltage to be loaded directly to the cell, which results in a reduction of the test time for screening defective cells.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure. The semiconductor memory device may include first and second memory cell clusters, which share the same bit line pair and are divided operationally; third and fourth memory cell clusters, which are connected respectively corresponding to word lines coupled with the first and second memory cell clusters, and which share a bit line pair different from the bit line pair and are divided operationally; and a column pass gate for switching one of bit line pairs connected with the first to fourth memory cell clusters, to a common sense amplifier, in response to a column selection signal. Whereby an operating speed decrease caused by load of peripheral circuits connected to the bit line is improved, and the number of column pass gates is reduced substantially with a reduction of chip size.
