    摘要: An integrated memory can include a memory cell array, which has word lines for the selection of memory cells, bit lines for reading out or writing data signals of the memory cells, and a sense amplifier connected to bit lines of a bit line pair at one end of the bit line pair. In an activated state during a memory access, at least one activatable isolation circuit which is switched into one of the bit line pairs can isolate a part of the bit line pair, which is more remote from the sense amplifier from the sense amplifier. As a result, the effective capacitance of the bit lines can be significantly reduced during the memory access.

    摘要: A RAM memory with a shared sense amplifier structure, in which sense amplifiers are arranged in strips between two adjacent cell blocks and are configured as differential amplifiers. In an exemplary embodiment, a one of four bit line pairs of the two adjacent cell blocks can be selected for connection to a sense amplifier at any one time using respective isolation transistor pairs, in response to a connection control signal fed to the latter. A signal sent on a word line coupled to a memory cell associated with the selected bit line pair, provides access to the memory cell by the sense amplifier.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory and a method for operating the latter in order are provided, at least in testwise fashion, to deactivate a word line segment (12) of a segmented word line not via a first line (21) otherwise used for deactivation, but rather via a second line (22) via that the word line segment (12) is otherwise activated. The second line (22) can optionally be biased with a second potential (Vpp) provided for activation or with a third potential (Vgnd). If the third potential (Vgnd) is used for at least temporarily deactivating the word line segment (12), the word line segment can be driven via a switching element (17), which couples the word line segment to the second line (22), without the complementary switching element (16) of the driver segment (20) having to be used for deactivation. It can thereby be ascertained which of two switching elements (16, 17) of the driver segment is defective and whether or not the semiconductor memory will function in a manner free of errors after permanent replacement of the word line on account of a floating potential of the tested word line segment (12).

    摘要: A semiconductor memory and a test method for testing whether word line segments (12) are floating after an activation operation or a deactivation operation is disclosed. For this purpose, the charge-reversal current (I) that occurs in the event of a word line segment (12) being subjected to charge reversal or a charge quantity (Q) which is fed to the word line (12) or conducted away from the word line segment (12) as a result of this is measured. If, upon activation or deactivation of a word line segment (12), the measured charge-reversal current (I) or the corresponding charge quantity (Q) is less than a lower limit value, it is ascertained that the relevant word line segment (12) has a defective contact terminal. In this way, high-impedance or defective contact hole fillings can thereby be identified and the associated word line segments (12) can be replaced by redundant word lines.

    摘要: A method for detecting a leakage current in a bit line of a semiconductor memory is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes isolating the connection of a sense amplifier from a bit line via an isolation transistor, reading out a memory cell to the bit line, waiting until a predetermined delay time has elapsed, so that a leakage current measurably changes the voltage on the bit line within the delay time. The sense amplifier is short circuited with the bit line via the isolation transistor. The voltage on the bit line is collected by the sense amplifier, and compared with a reference voltage so as to detect the leakage current.
