Abstract:
A method of operating a phase change random access memory (PRAM) device includes performing a program operation to store data in selected PRAM cells of the device, wherein the program operation comprises a plurality of sequential program loops. The method further comprises suspending the program operation in the middle of the program operation, and after suspending the program operation, resuming the program operation in response to a resume command.
Abstract:
A plurality of semiconductor chips may be stacked on the substrate, and each of them may include at least one electrode pad. At least one of the plurality of semiconductor chips may include at least one redistribution pad configured to electrically connect with the at least one electrode pad.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package structure having a solder ball coupled to a chip pad and a manufacturing method thereof, a semiconductor package module, and a system. A circuit board includes a through hole therein, and a conductor is formed on a sidewall of the through hole. A first semiconductor chip including a first chip pad is mounted on the circuit board. A solder ball is disposed in the through hole and is bonded to the conductor and the first chip pad. Therefore, an underfill can be removed from a semiconductor package, and thus, the semiconductor package can be reduced in thickness.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell array comprising memory cells of a first type. The memory cell array performs write and read operations in response to signals designed for the operation of a memory cell array comprising memory cells of a type other than the first type.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a phase change memory device in which an active time is reduced and a method of discharging a bitline in the phase change memory device. In the phase change memory device having the reduced active time and the method of discharging the bitline in the phase change memory device, the bitline is either always discharged when the phase change memory device is in standby, is discharged after the active operation of the phase change memory device, or is discharged prior to and after the active operation of the phase change memory device.
Abstract:
A PRAM includes a memory cell array of phase change memory cells, and a write circuit receiving an externally provided first voltage and supplying a write pulse for writing data to the memory cells in a normal operation mode. The write circuit also receives an externally provided second voltage higher than the first voltage and supplies a firing pulse to at least one firing-failed phase change memory cell.
