Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a sub word line driver. A first sub word line and a second sub word line transmit an operation signal to a memory cell. A main word line optionally sends the operation signal to the first sub word line and the second sub word line. A switching transistor is disposed between the first sub word line and the second sub word line. A gate of the switching transistor is connected the main word line.
