ABSTRACT:
In a DRAM having a plurality of memory array blocks, each of which has a plurality of sub-word lines connected to a main word line, a cell plate is provided correspondingly to each memory array block. A fuse is interposed between a cell plate potential supply line supplying a cell plate potential to the cell plate in each memory array block and the cell plate. By blowout of the fuse, supply of the cell plate potential to defective one among the memory array blocks is cut off. Thereby, a current consumption during standby is suppressed.
