ABSTRACT:
An integrated semiconductor memory includes at least one word line and a number of memory cells. Each memory cell has a selection transistor coupled to the word line. A word line driver is coupled to the word line. The word line driver provides a first electrical potential or a second electrical potential to the word line such that the word line is activated by the first electrical potential and is deactivated by the second electrical potential. A passive component (e.g., a diode or a resistor) is coupled between the word line and the second electrical potential such that the word line is coupled to the second electrical potential in a high-resistance fashion through the passive component. The passive component is transmissive for a leakage current between the word line and the contact connection.
