ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory is provided which includes a word line coupled to a transistor of a memory cell; a word driver configured to activate the word line; a first resistance portion configured to couple the word line to a low-level voltage line in accordance with an activation of the word line and to decouple the coupling after a first period in an activation period of the word line elapses; a second resistance portion configured to couple the word line to a high-level voltage line in a second period in the activation period; and a third resistance portion configured to couple the word line to the low-level voltage line in the second period, a resistance of the third resistance portion being higher than a resistance of the first resistance portion, wherein a high-level voltage of the word line in the second period is lower than that of the high-level voltage line.
