Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor memory device includes a command address control circuit configured to generate an error correction command and selection address for executing an error correction operation by receiving an external control signal, an error flag generation circuit configured to correct an error of data corresponding to the selection address and configured to generate a target error flag based on a pattern of the error of the data, and an error information processing circuit configured to generate a target address that is used as the selection address based on the target error flag in a target error correction operation that is executed based on the error correction operation.
