Abstract: A semiconductor device may include an error correcting code (ECC) encoder that encodes a codeword based on a parity check matrix and generates the encoded codeword including an information bit and a parity bit. The parity check matrix is divided into an information part corresponding to the information bit and a parity part corresponding to the parity bit. The parity part includes a block matrix T including a plurality of first sub-matrices arranged in a dual diagonal structure, a block matrix B including a first sub-matrix and a (1−a)-th sub-matrix, a block matrix D composed of a first sub-matrix, and a block matrix E including a first sub-matrix and a masked (1−(a+1))-th sub-matrix. A location where the first sub-matrix is placed in the block matrix B precedes a location where the masked (1−(a+1))-th sub-matrix is placed in the block matrix E.

Abstract: A memory device includes a cell array including a plurality of pages and a control logic configured to control program and read operations of the cell array. The control logic controls the program and read operations to store first through N-th codewords in a first page among the pages and program a page parity corresponding in common to the first through N-th codewords to the first page in response to a program command for a page unit and to selectively read the first codeword among the first through N-th codewords in response to a read command for a sub-page unit, where N is an integer of at least 2. The first codeword includes first sub-page data and a first sub-parity corresponding thereto, and the first sub-parity includes information for correcting an error in the first sub-page data through error correction code (ECC) decoding independently performed on each codeword.
