Abstract:
In a method of and computing system for designing or modifying a design of an integrated circuit including a combinational logic and a scan chain, at least one flip-flop satisfying a predetermined condition is detected from among a plurality of flip-flops included in the scan chain by analyzing the combinational logic, and the detected flip-flop is replaced with a settable flip-flop that is set during a scan test for the integrated circuit, a resettable flip-flop that is reset during the scan test, or a settable-and-resettable flip-flop that is set or reset during the scan test.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an operation method of a memory device that includes a memory block including a plurality of cell transistors stacked in a direction perpendicular to a substrate. The plurality of cell transistors may include a ground selection transistor and an erase control transistor. The erase control transistor may be between the substrate and the ground selection transistor.

A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and a row decoder. The memory cell array includes a plurality of mats. A first cell string of first mat is connected to a plurality of first word-lines, a first bit-line and a first string selection line. A second cell string of second mat is connected to a plurality of second word-lines, a second bit-line and a second string selection line. Each of the first and second cell strings includes a ground selection transistor, memory cells, and a string selection transistor coupled in series. The row decoder applies a first voltage to a third word-line among the plurality of first and second word-lines for a first period of time in a single mat mode and to apply a second voltage to the third word-line for a second period of time longer than the first period of time in a multi-mat mode.

Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array, a voltage generator, a page buffer circuit, a row decoder and a control circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of mats corresponding to different bit-lines. The voltage generator generates word-line voltages applied to the memory cell array. The page buffer circuit is coupled to the memory cell array through bit-lines. The row decoder is coupled to the memory cell array through word-lines, and the row decoder transfers the word-line voltages to the memory cell array. The control circuit controls the voltage generator, the row decoder and the page buffer circuit based on a command and an address. The control circuit selects a voltage between different voltages to apply the selected different voltages to at least one of the word-lines or at least one of the bit-lines according to a number of mats of the plurality mats, which operate simultaneously.
