    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided for permitting operation of a CMOS or BiCMOS memory with ECL level input signals, in which operating speed is increased and power consumption is reduced.Input signals of ECL levels are received by an input buffer for amplifying the input signals to an output signal level within a range where differential transistors of the input buffer operate in an unsaturation region. The output signal of the input buffer is supplied to a CMOS circuit or Bi-CMOS circuit which is operated by both an operating voltage having a first-stage smaller absolute value than that of the operating voltage of the input buffer and the ground potential of the circuit. This first stage CMOS or BiCMOS circuit also includes an arrangement to further amplify the received signals to provide further level conversion.Since both the input buffer and the first-stage CMOS or Bi-CMOS circuit perform signal transmission and level conversions, high-speed operation and low power consumption can be achieved by a simple structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a structure in which each of the following regions, that is, a first region for forming the base and emitter regions of each of the bipolar transistors, a second region for forming the collector lead-out region of the bipolar transistor, and a third region for forming each of the MISFETs, is projected from the main surface of a semiconductor substrate, whereby it is possible to effect isolation between the MISFETs and between these MISFETs and the bipolar transistors with the same isolation structure and in the same manufacturing step as those for the isolation between the bipolar transistors. In this device, furthermore, the base region of the bipolar transistor is electrically and self-alignedly connected to a base electrode which is formed over the main surface so as to surround the emitter region. The bipolar transistor is characterized as a self-alignment transistor and that the insulating side wall spacers corresponding to the gate and base (emitter) electrodes are formed by a same lever.

    摘要: A variable logic integrated circuit device formed on a semiconductor chip comprising variable logic blocks and switch matrices laid out alternately in the X and Y directions in a checkerboard pattern. Above the variable logic blocks is a block interconnection wiring arrangement formed by multiple-layer wiring techniques. The variable logic blocks and switch matrices are wired into circuits respectively by a lower wiring layer in the multiple wiring layer setup of the chip. The block interconnection wiring is formed by an upper wiring layer extending above the variable logic blocks and included in the multiple wiring layer setup. The switch matrices are used to connect the block interconnection lines to one another as well as to the variable logic blocks.
