Disclosed is the flash memory device capable of repairing the word line. Fail word lines are repaired using redundancy cells for repairing bit lines by combining X/Y addresses, whereby repair in the direction of the bit line as well as repair in the direction of the word line is made possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent degradation in the yield and improve reliability of the device.
