A semiconductor memory device has fuses coated with a protecting layer. The protecting layer is selectively etched to open windows so as to expose narrow center portions of the fuses. After the opening of the center windows, the fusing operation of the fuses is carried out to open a gap in the center window portion of the fuse material. In a preferred embodiment, another protective layer is then added to fill the gaps in the blown fuses.

A semiconductor device having a dynamic circuit and a static circuit, wherein a clock signal, in synchronization with the operation of the static circuit, initiates the operation of the dynamic circuit. A delay circuit of a static type is provided to delay the clock signal and generate a delayed clock signal. The delayed clock signal initiates operation of one stage of the dynamic circuit. As a result, the final-operation timing of the dynamic circuit is substantially controlled by the delayed clock signal, thereby matching the operation of the dynamic circuit with the operation of the static circuit, regardless of the power supply voltage.

A semiconductor memory device operated synchronously with clock signals, such as a MOS dynamic RAM device. The semiconductor memory device includes a switch circuit inserted between a prestage output amplifier circuit receiving a readout signal from a memory cell and an output buffer circuit. The switch circuit is turned on just before the output signal is supplied from the prestage output amplifier circuit to the output buffer circuit and turned off after the output condition of the output buffer circuit is settled. The potential corresponding to the output data is maintained in the circuit between the switch circuit and the output buffer circuit. The output condition of the output buffer circuit is therefore retained even during the reset period of the prestage drive circuit, and the duration period of the output signal is expanded.

Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device which comprises a sense amplifier formed on a semiconductor substrate, paired bit lines connected to the sense amplifier and memory cells connected to the bit lines wherein a predetermined bias voltage is applied to the semiconductor substrate and the reading operation is performed by amplifying by the sense amplifier a voltage difference caused between the paired bit lines due to access to the memory cells. This semiconductor memory device is characterized in that a voltage of a phase reverse to a noise transmitted to the bias voltage applied to the semiconductor substrate is applied to the semiconductor substrate through an electrostatic capacitance formed on the semiconductor substrate to cancel the noise. By virtue of this characteristic feature, influences of such noises can be eliminated in the semiconductor memory device of the present invention.
