Normal memory cells are arranged in rows and columns, and dummy memory
cells are arranged to form dummy memory cell rows by sharing memory celf
columns with the normal memory cells. When there is at least one defect
in the normal memory cells and/or the dummy memory cells,
replacement/repair is carried out using a redundant column in a unit of
memory cell column. The redundant column includes not only spare memory
cells for repair of the normal memory cells but also spare dummy memory
cells for repair of the dummy memory cells.
