Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a memory cell array including a normal memory cell array and a redundancy memory cell array, a normal refresh counter suitable for generating a normal address for performing a refresh operation to the normal memory cell array with a first period during a refresh mode and a redundancy refresh counter suitable for generating a redundancy address for performing a refresh operation to the redundancy memory cell with a second period shorter than the first period.
