    摘要: A memory structure/circuit has at least two memory cell arrays connected to each other in a hierarchy. The bit lines of the two or more memory cell arrays are connected by hierarchy switches. The memory cells of one of the arrays can be read out faster than the others by using the hierarchy switches to select one array without selecting the other arrays. So the data that is read with higher frequency can be selectively read out faster if it is stored in the faster access memory array. If the data in the faster access memory cell array includes a copy of the data in the other array, it can be used as a cache memory. A tag array and data array in combination that are connected to another tag array and data array in combination through hierarchy switch connections can provide a cache memory that is direct mapped or set associative, and also full associative. The memory device can be used in a semiconductor data processor having a CPU in which the memory device is connected to the CPU through a bus, wherein both the CPU and the memory device are formed on a single semiconductor substrate. The memory device can also be an off-chip device.

    摘要: Prior known static random access memory (SRAM) cells required that a diffusion layer be bent into a key-like shape in order to make electrical contact with a substrate with a P-type well region formed therein, which would result in a decrease in asymmetry leading to occurrence of a problem as to the difficulty in micro-patterning. To avoid this problem, the P-type well region in which an inverter making up an SRAM cell is formed is subdivided into two portions, which are disposed on the opposite sides of an N-type well region NW1 and are formed so that a diffusion layer forming a transistor has no curvature while causing the layout direction to run in a direction parallel to well boundary lines and bit lines. At intermediate locations of an array, regions for use in supply power to the substrate are formed in parallel to word lines in such a manner that one region is provided per group of thirty two memory cell rows or sixty four cell rows.

    摘要: In a test method of stacked LSIs connected by Through Silicon Vias, it is difficult to perform a failure diagnosis by using a conventional device test method to only one side of a silicon wafer, there is a possibility of yield degradation at a stacking time of LSIs, and a plurality of LSIs is connected to one Through Silicon Via so that it is necessary to select and remedy a defective Through Silicon Via taking into account all the device states. These problems cannot be solved by conventional test methods. Therefore, for a device test of a Through Silicon Via through a plurality of chips, a circuit that generates a time-series test pattern having both 0 and 1 values for a delay fault test is added to a circuit portion that transmits data to a Through Silicon Via in the stacked LSIs, and a circuit that receives the test pattern and compares the pattern received with a fixed pattern for a match to detect a defect of a Through Silicon Via is added to a circuit portion that receives data from a Through Silicon Via in the stacked LSIs.
