    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device, with respect to low voltage application, technique of controlling a gate voltage of a shared MOS transistor increasing sense speed and increasing data read speed by preventing data inversion caused by noise and reducing bit line capacitance during sensing is provided. By a shared MOS transistor gate voltage control circuit connecting a sense amplifier and a memory cell array, a shared MOS transistor gate voltage (SHR) is lowered in two stages and bit line capacitance to be amplified is reduced taking noise during the sensing into consideration so that the sense speed is increased. Therefore, a timing of activating a column selection signal can be hastened and as a result, data read time can be reduced.

    摘要: A column circuit that amplifies signals read from a sense amplifier array SAA to local input/output lines LIO in sub-amplifiers SAMP to transfer the amplified signals to main input/output lines MIO is provided. A current control circuit IC that can set one of two kinds of currents according to read enable signals RD1, RD2 is provided in each sub-amplifier SAMP. The read enable signals RD1, RD2 are generated at timings corresponding to the number of cycles in burst read operation under control of the timing controller. Current in the current control circuit IC is set to be large by the RD1 in burst read operation cycle just after activation of a memory bank, while current in the current control circuit IC is set to be small by the RD2 in the next and subsequent burst read cycles. Accordingly, expansion of an operation margin or reduction of power consumption can be realized in a semiconductor device including a semiconductor memory such as a DRAM.

    摘要: If memory cell blocks are laid out in a conventional manner to create a memory chip with a capacity of an odd power of 2 by using memory cells whose aspect ratio is 1:2, the chip will take a 1:1 shape and become difficult to enclose in a package of a 1:2 shape. In addition, such conventional layout of memory cell blocks to form the 1:2 shape causes the area of a peripheral circuit region to be limited by the memory blocks, pads to be arranged collectively in the central section of the chip, and wiring to become dense during the enclosure of the chip in the package. In this invention, therefore, four memory blocks, BANK0, BANK1, BANK2, BANK3, BANK3, are constructed into an L shape and then these memory blocks are properly combined and arranged to construct a chip of nearly a 1:2 shape in terms of aspect ratio.

    摘要: In an information processor including memory devices such as DRAMs and others, by reducing the power consumption of memory devices and efficiently repairing defect bits, a highly reliable information processor is realized. In an information processor including an external memory such as a DRAM, a second memory whose power consumption at the access time is smaller than that of the external memory is disposed, and cache data of the external memory and repair data are stored in this second memory. To an input address given from a central processing unit via a primary cache controller, a memory controller determines a hit or a miss with reference to a tag memory for cache and a tag memory for repair, and when one or both of tag memory for cache and a tag memory for repair are hit, it accesses the second memory.

A DRAM employing a one-intersection cell·two cells/bit method has a twin cell structure employing a one-intersection 6F2 cell, the structure in which: memory cells are arranged at positions corresponding to all of the intersections between a bit-line pair and a word line; and when a half pitch of the word line is defined as F, a pitch of each bit line of the bit-line pair is larger than 2F and smaller than 4F. Further, an active region in the silicon substrate, on which a source, channel and drain of the transistor of each memory cell are formed, is obliquely formed relative to the direction of the bit-line pair.
