ABSTRACT:
Herein disclosed is a bipolar memory having redundancy, which can be produced with a small area. In this semiconductor memory having a body memory for storing data and a spare memory for relief of fault bit of the body memory, a row is selected by cutting fuses in a decoder. Fundamentally signal lines such as word lines are not provided with fuses. Other parts including a power source and a reference voltage source are provided with fuses without decreasing the operating speed accompanied by only a slight increase in the area.
