    摘要: An integrated semiconductor memory, which can be operated in a normal operating state and a test operating state, includes a current pulse circuit with an input terminal for applying an input signal. The current pulse circuit is connected to an output terminal via an interconnect for carrying a current. In the test operating state, the current pulse circuit generates at least one first current pulse with a first, predetermined time duration in a first test cycle and at least one second current pulse with a second, unknown time duration in a subsequent second test cycle. In addition to a first current flowing on the interconnect in the normal operating state, a second current flows on the interconnect during the first test cycle and a third current flows during the second test cycle in the test operating state.

    摘要: Integrated semiconductor circuits, in particular, dynamic random access memories include a multiplicity of generator circuits for generating internal voltage levels from an externally applied supply voltage. During testing, the internal voltage levels are altered by the output voltage generated at the output of the generator circuit being adapted to an externally applied test voltage. If the test voltage is outside a tolerance range, the semiconductor circuit maybe destroyed. A protection circuit connected in parallel with the generator circuit limits the output voltage.

    摘要: A differential amplifier circuit has two input transistors, a load element, and a current source. A terminal for an input voltage is connected to a control terminal of a first input transistor. A terminal for a reference voltage is connected to a control terminal of a second input transistor. The two input transistors are connected in parallel between the load element and a terminal of the current source. A terminal for an internal reference potential is connected to a further terminal of the current source. A regulating circuit, is connected to the terminal for the voltage and to the terminal for the reference potential, and regulates the potential of the circuit dependent on changes in the reference voltage. Fluctuations of the reference voltage are compensated by regulation of the internal reference potential. As a result, the operating point of the circuit is stabilized independently of fluctuations of the reference voltage.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for testing a semiconductor memory having a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns and a plurality of sense amplifiers, each for amplifying memory cell signals of a common row or column. In an illustrative embodiment of the method, a voltage level or test pattern is written into at least one target cell of the memory cells. A word line coupled to the target cell is then activated and subsequently deactivated, to thereby modify the voltage level stored in the cell, while the associated sense amplifier is prevented from refreshing the cell as the word line is activated, e.g., by disabling the sense amplifier. A test bit line voltage is then applied to a bit line coupled to the cell to charge the same. Data is then read from the target cell with settings of the associated sense amplifier enabled, and compared to the original voltage level written into the cell. The process is repeated for different test bit line voltages. The method can be used to determine the signals at the sense amplifiers during normal operation of the memory, without employing complex and costly picoprobes.

    摘要: An integrated semiconductor circuit includes a transistor and a strip conductor (11). The transistor includes a first (1) and a second source/drain region (2) and a gate electrode. The strip conductor (11) is electrically insulated from a semiconductor body at least by a gate dielectric and forms the gate electrode in the area of the transistor. The strip conductor (11) extends along a first direction (x) in the area of the transistor. The second source/drain region (2) is arranged offset with respect to the first source/drain region (1) in the first direction (x). The transistor thus formed has an inversion channel (K1) that only extends between two corner areas (1a, 2a) facing one another of the first and of the second source/drain region, i.e. is much narrower than in the case of a conventional transistor.
