Abstract

A semiconductor memory device including: a buffer die; memory dies stacked on the buffer die; and TSVs, at least one of the memory dies includes: a memory cell array; an error correction code (ECC) engine; an error information register; and a control logic circuit configured to control the ECC engine to perform a read-modify-write operation, wherein the control logic circuit is configured to: record, in the error information register, a first address associated with a first codeword based on the an generation signal and a first syndrome obtained by an ECC decoding; and determine an error attribute of the first codeword based on a change of the first syndrome, recorded in the error information register, based on a plurality of read-modify-write operations.
