    摘要: A multilayer interconnection structure of a semiconductor device includes a first guard ring extending continuously along a periphery of a substrate and a second guard ring extending continuously in the multilayer interconnection structure along the periphery so as to be encircled by the first guard ring and so as to encircle an interconnection pattern inside the multilayer interconnection structure, wherein the first and second guard rings are connected with each other mechanically and continuously by a bridging conductor pattern extending continuously in a band form along a region including the first and second guard rings when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the substrate.

    摘要: A restoring circuit 24, provided for each of the memory blocks 191 and 192, having registers and a selector for selecting one of the present row address and the output of the registers, provides the output of the selector to a word decoder 26. The present row address is held in one of the registers. When amplification is started by a sense amplifier 15, transfer gates 10 and 11 connected between the bit lines BL1 and *BL1 and the sense amplifier 15 are turned off to decrease the load of the sense amplifier 15, the amplified signal is stored in a buffer memory cell circuit 18, and accessing is completed with omitting restoring to the memory cell 12. While the memory cell block 191 is not selected, the data held in the buffer memory cell circuit 18 is stored into the memory cell row addressed by the content of the selected register. The sense amplifier 15 has PMOS and NMOS sense amplifiers. The PMOS sense amplifier, having a pair of cross-coupled PMOS transistors and a pair of transfer gates, the potential of the sources of the PMOS transistors being fixed at Vii, operates in a direct sensing mode when the transfer gates are off state, and then functions as a usual PMOS sense amplifier by turning on the transfer gates. Likewise for the NMOS sense amplifier.

    摘要: A capacitor has a MOS gate structure in which a gate insulating film is held between a gate terminal and a ground terminal as a dielectric. A switch unit is connected between the gate terminal and a power supply. The ground terminal is connected to a ground. A switch control circuit that switches a state of the switch unit between a conductive state and a nonconductive state is provided. A predetermined voltage and a voltage of the gate terminal are input to a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of the switch control circuit, respectively. The switch unit is conductive when the voltage of the gate terminal is higher than the predetermined voltage, and nonconductive when the voltage of the gate terminal is lower than the predetermined voltage.
