Title:
半導体メモリ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3615561
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
There is described a semiconductor memory comprising a matrix of lines and columns of memory cells, wherein the columns (BL) are grouped together in sectors, each sector representing the portion of the matrix itself related to a data input/output line. Each sector is in turn divided into packets (1) of columns, and there are redundancy columns (BLR) suitable for replacing a matrix column (BL) containing defective memory cells. Each of the redundancy columns (BLR) is included in a respective packet (1). The memory also comprises control circuits (5,6,7) to execute the abovementioned replacement.
