    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit with memory redundancy circuit to address the problems of increased area, power consumption and access time which is caused by using an ECC circuit for error correction. The circuit comprises: a plurality of memory mats; a local bus, parallel to word lines, which transfers read data and write data from memory cells; a global bus for writing, parallel to data lines, which transfers write data from an input pad IO; a global bus for reading, parallel to data lines, which transfers read data to an output pad IO; and at least one error correction circuit located at an intersection of the global buses and the local bus. Reading and writing may each be completed in a single cycle, and during a write operation, data which is different from data previously read is written. By this configuration, an increase in area and power consumption can be avoided and errors such as soft errors can be corrected.

    摘要: In an integrated circuit device, there are various optimum gate lengths, thickness of gate oxide films, and threshold voltages according to the characteristics of circuits. In a semiconductor integrated circuit device in which the circuits are integrated on the same substrate, the manufacturing process is complicated in order to set the circuits to the optimum values. As a result, in association with deterioration in the yield and increase in the number of manufacturing days, the manufacturing cost increases. In order to solve the problems, according to the invention, transistors of high and low thresholds are used in a logic circuit, a memory cell uses a transistor of the same high threshold voltage and a low threshold voltage transistor, and an input/output circuit uses a transistor having the same high threshold voltage and the same concentration in a channel, and a thicker gate oxide film.

    摘要: A memory using an SRAM memory cell intended for low-voltage operation is designed to decrease the threshold value of MOS transistors constituting the memory cell without substantial decrease in the static noise margin, which is the operational margin of the memory cell. To this end, a voltage Vdd′ higher than a power supply voltage Vdd of a power supply line for peripheral circuits is supplied from a power supply line for memory cells as a power supply voltage for memory cells. Since the conductance of driver MOS transistors is in-creased, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistors within the memory cells can be reduced without reducing the static noise margin. Further the ratio of width between the driver MOS transistor and a transfer MOS transistor can be set to 1, thereby allowing a reduction in the memory cell area.

    摘要: Prior known static random access memory (SRAM) cells are required that a diffusion layer be bent into a key-like shape in order to make electrical contact with a substrate with a P-type well region formed therein, which would result in a decrease in asymmetry leading to occurrence of a problem as to the difficulty in micro-patterning. To avoid this problem, the P-type well region in which an inverter making up an SRAM cell is formed is subdivided into two portions, which are disposed on the opposite sides of an N-type well region NW1 and are formed so that a diffusion layer forming a transistor has no curvature while causing the layout direction to run in a direction parallel to well boundary lines and bit lines. At intermediate locations of an array, regions for use in supplying power to the substrate are formed in parallel to word lines in such a manner that one regions is provided per group of thirty two memory cell rows or sixty four cell rows.
