Abstract: A semiconductor memory apparatus is provided. The semiconductor memory apparatus includes: an address pad; an address pad buffer section configured to selectively receive a signal of the address pad; a data input buffer section configured to selectively receive the signal of the address pad; and a signal control section configured to selectively provide a path of the signal of the address pad to the address buffer section and the data input buffer section.

Abstract: A gate in a semiconductor device is formed to have a dummy gate pattern that protects a gate. Metal lines are formed to supply power for a semiconductor device and transfer a signal. A semiconductor device includes a quad coupled receiver type input/output buffer. The semiconductor device is formed with a gate line that extends over an active region, and a gate pad located outside of the active region. The gate line and the gate pad are adjoined such that the gate line and a side of the gate pad form a line. Dummy gates may also be applied. The semiconductor device includes a first metal line patterns supplying power to a block having a plurality of cells, a second metal line pattern transferring a signal to the cells, and dummy metal line patterns divided into in a longitudinal direction.
