There is provided a semiconductor storage device in which only a defective element is replaced by a row redundant element to compensate for a defect if at least one of a plurality of elements is defective in a case where the plurality of elements in a memory cell array are simultaneously activated. The semiconductor storage device includes an array control circuit which is configured to interrupt the operation of the defective element by preventing a word line state signal from being received based on a signal to determine whether a row redundancy replacement process is performed or not. The word line state signal is input to the plurality of memory blocks in the cell array unit via a single signal line.

A semiconductor storage device has a function of simultaneously activating a plurality of word lines connected to the same bit line via cell transistors. The semiconductor storage device comprises a column redundancy system that sets repair regions of column redundancy based on row addresses. By the column redundancy system, the repair regions are set to cause the plurality of word lines which can be activated together to belong to the same repair region, when the repair regions are set to divide the bit line.

At least one of the row- and column-selection mechanisms, including row- and column decoders, respectively, of a DRAM has a core circuit array and a control circuit array adjacent to each other. The core circuit array has an m-number of core circuit units which are substantially equivalent to each other, and each of which consists of an n-number of core circuits forming the decoders, respectively. The control circuit array has an m-number of control circuit units which are substantially equivalent to each other, and are connected to the core circuit units by interconnection wiring lines, respectively. The core circuit units and the control circuit units are arranged in a first direction with first and second pitches, respectively, which differ from each other. The second pitch is smaller than the first pitch, so that an additional region derived from the difference between the pitches is arranged along with the control circuit units in the first direction, and lead-out wiring lines from the core circuit array are arranged in the additional region.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a semiconductor integrated circuit with first layout sections where fuses are laid out and second layout sections where fuse latch circuits, which correspond to the fuses, are laid out. The first layout sections are disposed in a first repetition pitch in a fuse area, while the second layout sections are laid out at a second repetition pitch smaller than the first repetition pitch in a fuse latch circuit area. A third layout section is laid out in a space caused by the difference between the first and second repetition pitches. In the third layout section, at least one of patterns which are unrepeatable in each of the second layout sections and the patterns which do not need to be repeated in each of the second layout sections.

In a semiconductor memory device including a bit line precharge/equalizing circuit, the control system of the bit line precharge/equalizing circuit is changed in the normal operation mode and in the test mode. In the test mode, the bit line precharge/equalizing circuit is temporarily turned ON when an internal activation signal becomes non-active and then the bit line precharge/equalizing circuit is turned OFF after the potentials of paired bit lines are completely equalized.
