摘要:
A semiconductor device for absorbing a noise comprises a first (12) and second (14) buffer. The first and second buffers receive an external signal (S) having a rising edge and a falling edge, and performs waveform shaping thereof to produce an output signal. The first buffer (12), which issues an output signal (Sa) for controlling the internal circuits of a chip of the semiconducteur device so as to make the chip's internal circuits active/stand-by, is not sensitive to the rising edge of the external signal (S), but is sensitive to the falling edge of the same external signal. The second buffer (14), which issues an output signal (Sb) for controlling an output circuit of a chip of the semiconductor device so as to make the output circuit active/stand-by, is sensistive to both the rising and the falling edges of the external signal.

An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device that permits easy and efficient testing. A nonvolatile semiconductor memory comprises word lines WLi and bit lines BLi, a memory cell matrix 17 consisting of nonvolatile memory cells Cij, a sense amplifier 15, a write/erase timing circuit 9 for performing timing control necessary for write and erase operations, and a status register 2 for storing the operating state of the memory at the completion of the operation of the circuit 9, wherein there are provided, outside the address of the memory cell matrix 17, two kinds of dummy cells, D1, D2, D3,..., whose values are fixed to different values that induce different outputs from the sense amplifier 15. A pass condition or a fail condition is generated by accessing the dummy cells.

摘要:
A test method for a writable nonvolatile semiconductor memory, comprising: a writing step for writing data; an aging step wherein the nonvolatile semiconductor memory is placed under prescribed aging conditions; and a verification step where data is read out and compared with the data written in the writing step for verification. The test method is characterised in that the aging step incorporates a step of forming a coating film for alleviating the stress applied to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory during assembly.
