ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device having the object of decreasing the interconnection capacitance that necessitates electrical charge and discharge during data transfer and thus decreasing power consumption is provided with: a plurality of memory cell array chips, in which sub-banks that are the divisions of bank memory are organized and arranged to correspond to input/output bits, are stacked on a first semiconductor chip; and interchip interconnections for connecting the memory cell arrays such that corresponding input/output bits of the sub-banks are the same, these interchip interconnections being provided in a number corresponding to the number of input/output bits and passing through the memory cell array chips in the direction of stacking.
