Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, a row sub-decoder, a row main decoder and reducing means. The memory cells are arranged in a matrix form. The row sub-decoder selects each row of the memory cells. The row main decoder decodes a row address signal and supplies a control signal into the row sub-decoder. The row main decoder is structured by at least one transistor having a PN junction breakdown voltage. The reducing means reduces the PN junction breakdown voltage during a writing mode.
