Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a semiconductor memory device, and more particularly to a method for controlling a row decoder for use in a memory bank The technique of body bias, a large amount of open leakage current (〇ff_leakage current) appears in the row decoder. [Prior Art] Since the dynamic random access memory (DRAm) device employs a memory cell each constructed of an electric B body and a capacitor, it has a great integration advantage over other memory device devices. In addition, DRAM devices have advanced in terms of operating speed because various technologies have been proposed in accordance with recent high speed requirements. Therefore, a dram device having advanced driving capability even at a low voltage has been developed, and in addition, the DRAM device has been gradually extended to applications such as electric devices for consuming lower power and main memory of automobiles and computers. However, due to the high level of integration of semiconductor memory devices, it has become increasingly difficult to implement low standby currents, where ensuring low standby current means minimizing the off leakage current of each device. 1 is a diagram showing the break of each component calculated by summing the widths of transistors present in each of the components of a semiconductor memory device (eg, a memory bank, a voltage generator, and peripheral circuits). A table of open drain current values. The open leakage currents appearing in the memory group, the voltage generator, and the peripheral circuits are 40.2 μΑ, 6 2 μΑ && _, respectively. In short, the total width of the transistor and therefore the off-leakage current in the semiconductor memory device is mostly occupied by the transistor assigned to the memory group. The maximum width and maximum of the memory group are occupied by the decoder. The leakage current is disconnected, and in addition, as can be seen from Figure 2, the open drive current of one of the final drive units of the row decoder and one of the first 觝 觝 山 山 鈪42 8% of the off leakage current that appears in this memory group. Figure 2 shows a simulation result of the off-leakage current level of each element obtained by generating an off-leakage current in each element of the memory group. # From the simulation results, it can be seen that the off-leakage current generated by the row decoder occupies more than the above. Figure 3 illustrates a detailed circuit diagram of a conventional row decoder 5 in a semiconductor memory device. The conventional row decoder 5 includes a pre-drive unit 丨 and a drive unit 2. The pre-drive unit i has a PMOS transistor pi & nm 〇s transistors N1 to N3 connected in series between a power supply terminal vdd and a ground voltage terminal VSS. The PMOS transistor 卩1 and the 电8 transistor have a common gate, and a control signal Βγρ is provided via the common gate, and the control signal 脉冲 is a pulse signal containing memory group information. In addition, it has a common drain which acts as an output node of the pre-drive unit 以 to output a status output nickname to the drive unit 2. The NM〇s transistors Ν2 and Ν3 respectively receive code signals yc〇d1 and YC〇D2 via their gates, wherein each of the code numbers YCOD1 and YCOD2 has a memory cell containing a semiconductor memory device A row of corresponding memory cells of a plurality of memory cells in the matrix 3 is exhausted. 114725.doc 1310187 The driving unit 2 has a PMOS transistor P2 and an NMOS transistor N4 connected in series between the power voltage terminal vdd and the ground voltage terminal VSS. The PMOS transistor P2 and the NMOS transistor N4 have a common gate serving as an input node of the driving unit 2 and a common gate serving as a wheel node of the driving unit 2. The input node of the drive unit 2 is coupled to the output node of the pre-drive unit 以 to receive a status output signal from the pre-drive unit 1. If a certain condition is satisfied as described later, the drive unit 2 generates a corresponding row selection signal (e.g., γί〇) to the memory cell matrix 3. The row selection signal Yi 〇 indicates the address of the corresponding cell in the memory cell matrix 3 which is jointly represented by the two code signals YCOD1 and YCOD2. The PMOS transistors P1 & P2 receive the power supply voltage via their bodies and the NMOS transistors N1 to N4 receive the ground voltage vss via their bodies. In order to form a memory bank, a plurality of the above-described assembled row decoders are required and thus a plurality of row selection signals (e.g., TM to Yin) are outputted to the memory cell matrix 3, η being a positive integer. The pre-drive unit 1 receives the code signals YC〇D 1 and YCOD2 required for row selection and selects the row decoders, and the input signals of the enabled state (10), such as logic high level, YCOD i and YC〇D2 To the one, a corresponding row select signal is enabled thereby, for example, Yi. When the row access operation for row selection is not performed, the control L number 6丫1> has a disabled state 'for example, a logic low level, thereby setting the row selection signal Yi to the disabled state. For example, the logic is low. On the other hand, 'Tian Zhixuan' is used to enable the control signal BYP to the logic high level when the row access operation is selected. When the (4) signal Βγρ is enabled, if the code signal corresponding to the line decoding 114725.doc 1310187 D„ has an enabled state, then the certain line decodes the pre-drive single-open!, a few i' so that the drive unit 2 is turned on. The PMOS transistor P2, enables the row select signal Yi0 and outputs it to the memory cell matrix 3. : In the row decoder by controlling the occurrence of a substantial amount of open leakage current therein, the disconnection in the semiconductor § memory device The present invention provides a method for reducing and total disconnecting @current by controlling a decoder in which a maximum amount of % open leakage occurs.

And coupled to the memory cell matrix 20. Figure 7 depicts a circuit diagram of the source voltage control unit 3 of Figure 6 including a bit shifter 〇evei shifter 3i and a voltage select unit 32. The level shifter 3 1 performs a level shift on the column active signal R 〇 Wb to generate an active signal ACTb. The voltage level of the active signal ACTb is alternately at the power supply voltage VDD and the reverse bias voltage VBB. Swing between. The voltage selection unit 32 has NMOS transistors N9 and N10 and - an inverter ινι and a capacitor (::1 and (:2;; ^^〇8 transistor N9 connected to the ground voltage terminal VSS and an output of the source voltage control) An active signal ACTb is received between the output nodes of the signal NSRC and via its gate. The NMOS transistor N1 is coupled between a reverse bias terminal that provides the reverse bias voltage VBB and the output node, and The gate receives an inactive active signal iACTb output from the inverter IV1. The capacitor (: is a parasitic capacitor between the reverse bias terminal and the ground terminal 114725.doc • 14· 131.0187 voltage terminal, and the capacitor IIC2 is a parasitic capacitor existing between the output node and the ground voltage terminal, wherein the capacitor ^ is generally selected to have a capacitance greater than several hundred to several thousand times the capacitance of the capacitor C2. The source is described with reference to the operation timing diagram of FIG. The operation of the voltage control unit 3. First, in the standby mode, both the column active signal R〇wb and the active signal ACTb have the voltage level of the power supply voltage VDD. Therefore, the NMOS transistor is turned on. N9 and disconnecting the NM〇s transistor N1 〇, thereby outputting the source electrical control signal NSR having the voltage level of the power supply voltage VDD (:. As a result, the input mode wipes the input power with the ground voltage vss The source voltage of the M level is controlled by the NSRC to the row decoder 〇 in the pre-drive unit 。. On the other hand, in the active mode, the level shifter 3 1 performs the ## ROWb in the column action The level shifts to output the active signal ACTb, wherein the column active signal ROWb has a voltage level of the ground voltage vss, and thus the active signal ACTb becomes the voltage level of the reverse bias voltage VBB. At this time, because the capacitor C1 The capacitance is greater than the capacitance of the capacitor (^ is hundreds to thousands of times, so the level offset may be ignored. Thereafter, the NM〇s transistor N9 is turned off and the NMOS transistor Nio is turned on, whereby the output has a reverse bias The source voltage control signal NSRC of the voltage level of VBB is pressed.

In the case, when the row decoder 10 is changed When the body bias is applied to reduce the off-leakage current, the threshold voltage of each of the connected transistors in the row decoder 10 becomes high, and thus the driving force thereof is lowered, resulting in a decrease in the operating speed. To overcome this problem 114725.doc 15 In the problem of 1310187, the present invention uses the source voltage control signal NSRC, so that when the column SELb is enabled to the logic low level in the column action, that is, in the active mode, the input source has the reverse bias VBB source control signal NSRc Up to the source of the NMOS transistor N7 in the pre-drive unit 11. As a result, the PMOS transistor P4 of the drive unit 12 receives a selective negative (four) via its gate, that is, grounded „vss or reverse biased, And therefore there can be sufficient driving force to improve the operating speed due to the deterioration of the open leakage current.
