ABSTRACT:
A method for operating a semiconductor memory device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes activating a first memory cell sub-array or memory cells of the first memory cell sub-array that are contained in a first set of memory cells, in particular of memory cells positioned in one and the same row or column of the first memory cell sub-array, if one or a plurality of memory cells contained in the first memory cell sub-array or in the first set of memory cells is/are to be accessed. The corresponding memory cell or memory cells are accessed; including leaving the first memory cell sub-array or the memory cells of the first memory cell sub-array that are contained in the first set of memory cells in the activated state if one or a plurality of further memory cells is/are to be accessed which are contained in a second memory cell sub-array of the same memory cell array that comprises the first memory cell sub-array.
