    摘要: Back-gate voltage control provides a high speed and low power consumption LSI operable in a wide temperature range in which a MOS transistor having back gates is used specifically according to operating characteristics of a circuit. In the LSI, an FD-SOI structure having an embedded oxide film layer is used and a lower semiconductor region of the embedded oxide film layer is used as a back gate. A voltage for back gates in logic circuits having a small load in logic circuit block is controlled in response to activation of the block from outside of the block. Transistors, in which the gate and the back gate are connected to each other, are used for the circuit generating the back gate driving signal, and logic circuits having a heavy load such as circuit block output section, and the back gates are directly controlled according to a gate input signal.

    摘要: The semiconductor device makes a comparison between a word-line timing signal for determining a word-line activation time and a reference signal, applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a read margin when the result of the comparison represents a low condition of the read margin, and applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a write margin when the comparison result represents a low condition of the write margin. The reference signal is selected depending on whether to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line activation time (or word-line pulse width), or to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the process fluctuation (or variation in threshold voltage). By controlling the back-gate biases according to the word-line pulse width, an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line pulse width, and an operating margin fluctuating owing to the variation in threshold voltage during its fabrication are improved.

    摘要: There is provided an output stage circuit including such MOSTs (M) that when their gates and sources are respectively set to an equal voltage, subthreshold leakage currents substantially flow between their drains and sources, wherein upon its deactivation, a voltage is applied to the gate of each of the MOSTs (M) in such a manner than a reverse bias is applied between the gate and source of the MOST (M). That is, when the MOST (M) is of a p channel type, a voltage higher than that of a p type source is applied to its gate. When the MOST (M) is of an n channel type, a voltage lower than that of an n type source is applied to its gate. Upon activation of the circuit, the MOST is held in a reverse bias state or controlled to a forward bias state according to an input voltage. A CMOS circuit and a semiconductor device can be realized each of which is small in leakage current even though its threshold voltage is low and which is operated at high speed and with a small voltage amplitude.
