ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device which enhances the relief efficiency of defective bit lines by means of redundant bit lines is disclosed. To a column redundancy decoder are supplied not only a Y address but also a part of an X address. When a Y address corresponding to a defective bit line is supplied to the column redundancy decoder, the column redundancy decoder generates a detection signal. In this case, replacement by means of a redundant bit line is carried out if the part of the X address indicates a region where the defective bit line exists, and the replacement by means of a redundant bit line will not take place if it indicates a region where the defective bit line does not exists.
