    摘要: In signal transmission lines among logic circuits employed in a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a voltage driver circuit is provided with such a wiring whose length is short, and the function of the signal receiving circuit is achieved by a logic circuit capable of responding to a voltage appearing at a terminal of the wiring. On the other hand, a source terminal of such a wiring whose length is long and whose resistance is high, is voltage-driven by the voltage driver circuit in response to the output voltage of the logic circuit. A current sense circuit is provided with a terminal of this long length wiring, which senses a current flowing through this long length wiring to be converted into a voltage. Both an output resistance of the voltage driver circuit and an input resistance of the current sense circuit are made lower than a DC resistance of this long length wiring.

    摘要: A MIS capacitor to be implemented in a semiconductor device employing various or predetermined circuits, has a dielectric side electrode which is in contact with a buried layer provided on a semiconductor substrate through a dielectric film and a buried layer-side electrode connected to the buried layer. The buried layer-side electrode of the MIS capacitor is connected to a low-impedance side of the circuit employed therewith. This structure, when connected as such, is capable of reducing the influence of noise attributed to an .alpha.-ray and thereby operating the circuit stably. The semiconductor device using a MIS capacitor invention is adaptable to an emitter follower circuit and various logic circuits for preventing malfunction resulting from .alpha.-ray radiation.

    摘要: A logic circuit, most suitable for the NOR gate, logic function and integration on a single chip with a plurality of such logic circuits and other digital circuits receiving the outputs of the logic circuits and the logic circuits themselves connected and cascade, wherein plural groups of input transistors are provided, with a load through the voltage source and one of the groups, field effect transistor between the voltage source and the other group, so that its gate is connected to the node between the load and first group and its source is connected to the output terminal, with the improvement being in finding a leakage load for the field effect transistor through the voltage source, providing a clamping circuit for the gate of the transistor. The clamping circuit can include a transistor having its gate connected to the output with a delay so that it will not come on until after a substantial portion of the rise time of the output has expired. An additional logic output may be taken from the gate of this transistor, preferably through a transistor to match the outputs, so that the logic circuit is provided with two independent outputs useful for providing adjacent logic or digital circuits with a conveniently close terminal for input, and further to take advantage of the isolation of the outputs by providing other directions for both outputs for circuit elements that must remain isolated, for example in cross coupling two logic circuits as a flipflop. One or more of the may be a field effect transistor, particularly provided with boot strapping. For otherwise identical logic circuits as a part of an overall integrated logic circuit, the clamping circuits may differ only with respect to matching respective output voltages or respective output currents with respective fan outs or other characteristics of load circuits to be driven by the outputs. Preferably, all of the elements are constructed of field effect transistors.

    摘要: A transistor circuit of this invention comprises a first transistor for receiving a first bias at its base, resistor means connected to the collector of the first transistor and clamp means connected to the junction between the first transistor and the resistor means, and obtains an output from a terminal of the resistor on the opposite to its junction with the first transistor. When a noise current due to .alpha. rays develops in the first transistor and the output is lowered, the clamp means operates in such a manner that the current flows through the clamp means and prevents the change of the output. The transistor circuit of this invention is connected to a resistor or a transistor and operates as a constant current circuit for supplying a current to the resistor or the transistor so that the current flowing therethrough becomes constant. For example, it is used as a constant current source of an emitter follower to constitute a level shift circuit. It is disposed in a feedback part and used as a constant current source in a logic circuit comprising a logic part consisting of a differential transistor circuit and the feedback part for negatively feeding back the in-phase output of the differential transistor circuit.

    摘要: An improved flip-flop circuit is provided which prevents the occurrence of soft errors due to .alpha. rays and the like emitted from a trace amount of radioactive materials contained in a semiconductor package material. The flip-flop circuit has a first logic circuit which holds data and produces a first logic signal and a second logic circuit which produces a second logic signal. A logic gate receives the first and second logic signals that are produced from the first and second logic circuits and which have the same logic level. The output of the logic gate is input to the first logic circuit through a feedback loop which is provided between the output and the input of the first logic circuit and which includes the logic gate. According to the circuit construction of the present invention, a flip-flop circuit can be accomplished which is resistant to the radioactive rays such as .alpha. rays and does not cause soft errors.
