Abstract

A semiconductor memory comprising core blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 each comprising memory cell arrays each having a plurality of memory cells in a matrix and sense amplifiers and decoders accompanying the memory cell arrays. An inter-block region is arranged among the core blocks wherein data signal lines, address signal lines and control signal lines are provided. Pad arrays IO Pad and A Pad each comprising a plurality of pads and buses IO Bus and A Bus are arranged among the core blocks. The buses A Bus are jogged in a connection region. The buses IO Bus and A Bus are arranged successively in the inter-block region and the data signal lines, the address signal lines and the control signal lines are connected to the buses A Bus and IO Bus in the inter-block region.
