    摘要: A semiconductor memory comprising a flip-flop circuit, a redundant memory cell row and column, a specific address detecting gate, a transistor, a sense amplifier and a data output buffer. The receipt of a supply potential causes the flip-flop circuit to generate previously stored output status representing the use or the nonuse of the redundant memory cell row and column. Upon detection of a specific address by the specific address detecting gate, the transistor effects a switching operation causing the output status generated by the flip-flop circuit to be output to the outside via the transistor, sense amplifier and data output buffer. This allows the use or the nonuse of the redundant bits to be verified efficiently.

    摘要: A plurality of bit line signal IO lines L1, /L1, . . . Ln and /Ln are arranged on a memory cell array. These bit line signal IO lines are arranged to cross respective bit lines BL1, /BL1, . . . BLn and /BLn, and are connected to the corresponding bit lines, respectively. Each bit line signal IO line has an end extended to an end, in a direction perpendicular to the bit line, of a memory cell array, and is coupled at the end to a bit line peripheral circuit. Although bit line peripheral circuits could be arranged only at upper and lower ends of the bit lines in the prior art, the bit line peripheral circuits can be arranged also at the ends of the bit line signal IO lines in the invention. This can increase a degree of freedom in a layout for the bit line peripheral circuits, and thus the bit line peripheral circuits can be dispersedly arranged in a larger area.

    摘要: An amplifier circuit of a symmetrical type is implemented with load transistors 1, 3, 5, 6 and input transistors 2, 4. Load transistors 1, 5 and input transistor 2 constitute a first inverter, and load transistors 3, 6 and input transistor 4 constitute a second inverter. A change in the output potential of each inverter is transmitted to a load transistor of the other inverter and increases the fluctuation of the potential of an output signal. A transistor 9 or 10 for current control is arranged between an input transistor and ground or between a load transistor and a power supply. The transistor 9 or 10 for current control interrupts through current when operation of the amplifier circuit is unnecessary and enhances the gain when the amplifier circuit is on operation. The gain is enhanced by setting the conductance of the load transistor and the conductance of the input transistor on predetermined conditions. Furthermore, an offset voltage caused in each amplifier circuit is canceled out by connecting two sets of symmetrical-type amplifier circuits.

    摘要: Obtained is a semiconductor device which can effectively prevent a gate oxide film from deterioration or breaking caused by plasma charged particles which are accumulated in a wiring layer in plasma etching thereof, even if an antenna ratio is increased. In this semiconductor device, an impurity diffusion layer forming a resistor and a diode is interposed between a gate electrode layer of a field-effect transistor of an internal circuit other than an initial input stage circuit and a first wiring layer for transmitting a circuit signal to the gate electrode layer. Thus, plasma charged particles which are accumulated in the first wiring layer in plasma etching thereof are absorbed by the impurity diffusion layer, whereby no surge voltage is applied to the gate electrode layer which is connected with the first wiring layer. Thus, the gate oxide film which is positioned under the gate electrode layer is prevented from breaking or deterioration.

    摘要: A static random access memory (SRAM) is disclosed having a single bit line configuration. One memory cell includes access gate transistors Q5, Q6 connected in series between a data storage circuit 1 and a single bit line BL. In a writing operation, the gate electrodes of the transistors Q5, Q6 are boosted to a level exceeding the supply voltage by a X word line boosting circuit 7 and a Y word line boosting circuit 8 to bring the data storage circuit to an unstable data storage state in a memory cell selected by a row address signal and a column address signal. Data writing is carried out only in a desired memory cell, and erroneous data writing to other memory cells is prevented.
