Abstract

The present invention relates to a dynamic type RAM and, more particularly, to a dynamic type RAM formed using one-element type dynamic memory cells each comprised of a data storing capacitor and an address selecting MOSFET. Divided word lines are arranged such that one divided word line intersects another at a point of discontinuity of the other divided word line adjacent to a joint of the one divided word line to the corresponding word line. This prevents generation of an array noise due to coupling capacitances, and thus improves the read margin.
