Zusammenfassung:A semiconductor device comprises an embedded flash memory with row redundancy. The embedded flash memory comprises a memory bank that includes multiple physical sectors, where each physical sector comprises a plurality of erase sectors. In the memory bank, multiple portions of an additional erase sector are respectively distributed among the multiple physical sectors. The multiple portions of the additional erase sector are configured as a row-redundancy sector for the memory bank.
