ABSTRACT:
A memory array2has an address decoder12responsive to a repair signal to operate either in a normal mode or a repair mode. In the normal mode a data bit is stored within a single memory cell6. In the repair mode a data bit is stored within multiple memory cells6of a common column of memory cells sharing bit lines8. This provides increased defect resistance when operating in the repair mode at the cost of reduced memory capacity.
