Abstract:
A memory device may include: a memory bank comprising a first cell mat used as a normal area and a second cell mat used as a row hammer area and a redundancy area; a target address generation circuit suitable for: saving, in the row hammer area, a count of a received address for an active operation on the memory bank by performing an internal access operation on the row hammer area during the active operation, and setting, a particular count which satisfies a preset condition, an address corresponding to the particular count as a target address; a refresh control circuit suitable for controlling a smart refresh operation on the target address; and a column repair circuit suitable for repairing, when a bit line of the normal area has a defect, the bit line of the normal area with a bit line of the redundancy area.
