摘要:
An address signal line having a stub structure connects between at least three memory elements and a data transferring element and transmits address signals for the memory elements. An address terminal of the data transferring element has an impedance lower than a characteristic impedance of the address signal line. A wiring length TL0 from the data transferring element to a first branch point S1 where a branch line is branched at a shortest distance from the data transferring element is configured to become equal to or greater than a wiring length TL1 from the first branch point S1 to a second branch point S2 where a second branch line is branched. A wiring length TL3 from the second branch point S2 to a third branch point S3 where a third branch line is branched is configured to become greater than the wiring lengths TL0 and TL1.

In a multi-rank memory module having a terminal resistance of a data input/output pad 13 and a terminal resistance control pad 14 that inputs a signal that controls on/off of the terminal resistance, a high-speed operation is enabled with the aid of an enclosed terminal resistance, even in cases where the number of ranks is greater than that of terminal resistance control terminals (ODT terminals) provided on the memory module. To this end, a terminal resistance control pad 14 of a memory chip 12, having a longer length of an interconnect between a data bus 19 on a module substrate 8 and a data input/output pad 13, is connected to a terminal resistance control interconnect 18 or 21 to control the on/off of the terminal resistance from the ODT terminal. A terminal resistance control pad on a memory chip 11, having a shorter length of an interconnect between the data bus 19 on the module substrate and the data input/output pad 13, is connected to a fixed potential 20 to turn on the terminal resistance.

Corresponding parts to a first path portion in a first signal transmission path to a first semiconductor chip are an interconnection member and a second path portion a second signal transmission path to a second semiconductor chip and are not formed on the first tape. An electric length of the second signal transmission path is allowed to be adjusted independently of the first tape, so that the electric length of the second signal transmission path can be easily made equal to or substantially equal to that of the first signal transmission path.

A sense amplifier, which is intended to reduce the output response time after it has received a small voltage difference until it delivers amplified output signals, consists of a latch circuit made up of a pair of CMOS inverters, a pair of NMOS transistors connected in parallel to the latch circuit, and a current source connected in series to the latch circuit and NMOS transistor pair. The NMOS transistors amplify a small voltage difference of input signals, and the inverters of the latch circuit further amplify the resulting voltage difference to produce the output signals. Based on is a small voltage difference of input signals being amplified in two stages and the amplifying circuit being of 2-stage serial connection of the current source and the NMOS transistor or CMOS inverter, the delay time of output response can be reduced.

A method is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device which includes a capacitor element having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a dielectric film formed between said first electrode and said second electrode. In particular, the method includes the step of forming at least one of the first electrode and second electrode with a polycrystalline silicon film which is deposited over a semiconductor substrate by a CVD method and which is doped with an impurity during said deposition to decrease the resistance of the polycrystalline silicon film. The capacitor element formed by this method is particularly useful for memory cells of static random access memory devices.

Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a SRAM having its memory cell composed of transfer MISFETs to be controlled through word lines and drive MISFETs. The gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs and the gate electrodes of the transfer MISFETs of the memory cell, and the word lines are individually formed of different conductive layers. The drive MISFETs and the transfer MISFETs are individually arranged to cross each other in the gate length direction. The word lines are extended in the gate length direction of the gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs and caused to cross the gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs partially.The two transfer MISFETs of the memory cell have their individual gate electrodes connected with two respective word lines spaced from each other and extended in an identical direction. The region defined by the two word lines is arranged therein with the two drive MISFETs and the source lines.The source line is formed of a conductive layer identical to that of the word line. The individual data lines of the complementary data line are formed of an identical conductive layer which is different from that of the word line and the source line. The identical conductive layer between the word line and source line and the complementary data line is formed with two word lines: a main word line extended in the first direction identical to that of the word line and source line and used by adopting the divided word line system: and a sub-word line used by adopting the double word line system.

An improved buffer circuit arrangement is provided which is particularly useful for semiconductor integrated circuit semiconductor memories and microprocessors. The buffer circuit is capable of switching large loads in various types of LSIs, and features a low noise and high speed circuit operation. This is accomplished by a parallel connection of output transistors in an output buffer circuit, and by differentiating the starting time of operation between the output transistors connected in parallel without using a delay circuit. For example, differentiating the starting times can be achieved by either providing the transistors with different characteristics from one another or the driving circuits with different characteristics from one another. Another aspect of the circuit is the provision of a two-level preset arrangement which presets the output node of the circuit to predetermined values before the input signals are applied.
