    Abstract: A processor-implemented data processing method includes: normalizing input data of an activation function comprising a division operation; determining dividend data corresponding to a dividend of the division operation by reading, from a memory, a value of a first lookup table addressed by the normalized input data; determining divisor data corresponding to a divisor of the division operation by accumulating the dividend data; and determining output data of the activation function corresponding to an output of the division operation obtained by reading, from the memory, a value of a second lookup table addressed by the dividend data and the divisor data.

    Abstract: Phase-change memory devices are provided. A phase-change memory device may include a substrate and a conductive region on the substrate. Moreover, the phase-change memory device may include a lower electrode on the conductive region. The lower electrode may include a metal silicide layer on the conductive region, and a metal silicon nitride layer including a resistivity of about 10 to about 100 times that of the metal silicide layer. Moreover, the lower electrode may include a metal oxide layer between the metal silicon nitride layer and the metal silicide layer. The metal oxide layer may include a resistivity that is greater than that of the metal silicide layer and less than the resistivity of the metal silicon nitride layer. The phase-change memory device may also include a phase-change layer and an upper electrode on the lower electrode.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes memory cells connected to word lines, bit lines, and one source line, a row decoder connected to the word lines, and a sense amplifier circuit connected to the bit lines. In a program operation for two or more selected memory cells, a reference voltage is applied to the one source line, the sense amplifier circuit inputs a selected voltage to one selected bit line connected to the selected memory cells, and the row decoder inputs, to selected word lines connected to respective ones of the selected memory cells, a first program voltage lower than the reference voltage or a second program voltage higher than the reference voltage. Each of the memory cells includes a ferroelectric layer in which at least one of a polarization direction and a polarization degree changes depending on a voltage input to each of the word lines.
