Abstract

To improve the access efficiency of a semiconductor memory that includes a plurality of memory chips. Based on a layer address, a bank address, and a row address received in synchronization with a row command, and a layer address, a bank address, and a column address received in synchronization with a column command, a memory cell selected by the row address and column address in a bank selected by the bank address included in a core chip selected by the chip address is accessed. This can increase the number of banks recognizable to a controller, thereby improving the memory access efficiency of the semiconductor device which includes the plurality of memory chips.
