    Abstract: A memory device has a global input/output line pair configured for data transfer. The memory device includes a sense amplifier, a detecting unit and a detect control signal generating unit. The sense amplifier is coupled to the global input/output line pair. The detecting unit detects a potential difference between the global input/output line pair. The detect control signal generating unit disables an operation of the sense amplifier and precharges the global input/output line pair to a predetermined voltage. A precharge operation of a memory device may be performed at a higher speed so that a high speed operation of the memory device may be achieved. In addition, the operating time of the sense amplifier may be decreased so that the power consumption of the memory device may be reduced.

    Abstract: A duty cycle correction circuit for use in a semiconductor device, which synchronizes with an external clock and corrects a duty cycle, is provided. The duty cycle correction circuit includes a modulator of an inverter structure having at least one or more transistors. The modulator receives a control signal through a source terminal and a bulk of any one of the transistors and corrects a duty cycle in response to an external clock signal. The duty cycle correction circuit also includes a driver that converts an output signal of the modulator into a full swing level and outputs the converted output signal of the modulator, and a feedback loop that generates the control signal in response to an output signal of the driver.

    Abstract: A capacitor for a semiconductor memory device employs a tantalum pentoxide film as a dielectric film. The dielectric film is made from tantalum pentoxide film doped with silicon over a first electrode. A second electrode is then formed over the dielectric film. Accordingly, in the method for manufacturing the device, although the dielectric constant of the dielectric film is somewhat lower than the conventional pure tantalum pentoxide film due to the silicon doped within the tantalum pentoxide film, leakage current is reduced and breakdown voltage is increased. Therefore, the dielectric film according to the present invention exhibits excellent electrical characteristics and high reliability.
