Abstract: A semi-dynamic flip-flop includes a semiconductor substrate, first through fourth power rails, and at least one clock gate line. The first through fourth power rails are disposed on the semiconductor substrate, extend in a first direction, and are arranged sequentially in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The at least one clock gate line is disposed on the semiconductor substrate, and extends in the second direction to pass through at least two regions among a first region between the first power rail and the second power rail, a second region between the second power rail and the third power rail, and a third region between the third power rail and the fourth power rail. The at least one clock gate line receives an input clock signal.

Abstract: A clock gating cell includes an input logic/latch circuit, a keeper logic/signal generating circuit, and an output driver. The input logic/latch circuit generates an internal enable signal based on first and second input enable signals, and generates a first internal signal provided to a first node based on the internal enable signal and an input clock signal. The keeper logic/signal generating circuit is connected between the first node and a second node, includes a feedback path feeding back the first internal signal, generates a second internal signal provided to the second node based on the first internal signal and the input clock signal, and includes first and second paths discharging the second node. The first and second paths are different. The second path is connected to the feedback path. The output driver generates an output clock signal based on the second internal signal.

Abstract: An active resistor array of a semiconductor memory device comprises a first active resistor in a first active resistor region; a second active resistor in the first active resistor region and arranged in parallel with the first active resistor, and an isolation element layer interposed therebetween; a third active resistor formed in a second active resistor region; a first selection transistor formed in a first selection transistor region and connected to the second active resistor; and a second selection transistor formed in a second selection transistor region and connected to the third active resistor. The first and second selection transistors are connected to the same gate layer. The gate layer of the first and second selection transistors is on the isolation element layer. Since example embodiments may help to ensure the uniformity of the layout pattern, active resistance distribution may be improved due to reduction in process variation.
