    摘要: A data write current from a pinned layer to a free layer is larger than a data write current from the free layer to the pinned layer. A data read current is smaller in value than the data write current. In the case where a difference in data read current between a high-resistance state and a low-resistance state is relatively small, a sense amplifier is connected so that the data read current flows from the pinned layer to the free layer, namely from a source line to a bit line.

    摘要: Resistance elements are inserted into a main power supply line and a main ground line so that offset differential amplifiers receive voltages developed across the same. The differential amplifiers control transistors connected to a sub power supply line and a sub ground line. Thus, a leakage current flowing from the sub power supply line to the main ground line and that flowing from the main power supply line to the sub ground line are regularly kept constant. Consequently, it is possible to prevent an operation delay in an initial stage of a standby state while keeping an effect of reducing a subthreshold leakage current in a semiconductor circuit device having a hierarchical power supply structure.

    摘要: A plurality of test target chips on a test target wafer are simultaneously and electrically coupled to a plurality of chips on a test wafer via a wafer contactor. Each chip on the test wafer has a test circuit for conducting an operation test on each chip on the test target wafer. Since the test circuit is in a one-to-one relationship with respect to the test target chip, and is arranged on the test wafer other than the test target wafer, the many chips can be simultaneously tested in parallel during the wafer test without increasing an area of the test target chips.

    摘要: A tunneling magneto-resistance element of each MTJ (magnetic tunnel junction) memory cell is connected between a bit line and a strap. Each strap is shared by a plurality of tunneling magneto-resistance elements that are located adjacent to each other in the row direction in the same sub array. Each access transistor is connected between a corresponding strap and a ground voltage, and turned ON/OFF in response to a corresponding word line. Since data read operation can be conducted with the structure that does not have an access transistor for every tunneling magneto-resistance element, the array area can be reduced.
