    摘要: Semiconductor memories (1) have segmented word lines (5a, 5b), which in each case have a main word line (10a, 10b) made of a conductive metal and a plurality of interconnect segments (15a, 15b) coupled to the main word line (10a, 10b), which are coupled to the respective main word line (10a, 10b) in each case via at least one contact hole filling (11). If one of the contact hole fillings (11) is defective or at high resistance then functional errors of the semiconductor memory occur. The interconnect segments (15a, 15b) of two respective word lines (5a, 5b) can be short-circuited in pairs with the aid of switching units (20), whereby a static current (I) that flows via the contact hole fillings (11) can be used for electrically stressing the contact hole fillings (11). Electrical stressing of contact hole fillings of segmented word lines is thus made possible.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus for signaling that a predetermined time value has elapsed, having a device for acquiring and storing the amplitude value of a clock signal at an acquisition instant in the temporal profile of the clock signal. A device is provided for continuously comparing the acquired and stored amplitude value of the clock signal with an instantaneous amplitude value of the clock signal and for outputting a comparison signal which has a first logic state if the instantaneous amplitude value of the clock signal is less than the stored amplitude value and has a second logic state if the instantaneous amplitude value of the clock signal is greater than the stored amplitude value. A device is also provided for counting the number of logic states of the comparison signal which occur after the acquisition instant, and for signaling that the predetermined time value has elapsed if the counted number of logic states is equal to a predetermined number of logic states which corresponds temporally to the predetermined time value.

    摘要: An integrated dynamic memory includes memory cells which are combined to form individual independently addressable units, and a control circuit for controlling a refresh mode for the memory cells. The memory cells can have their memory cell content refreshed. The control circuit is designed such that one or more units of memory cells can be subject to a refresh mode in parallel in a refresh cycle. The control circuit sets a number of memory cell units, which are to be refreshed in parallel in a refresh cycle based on a temperature reference value. A maximum possible operating temperature for a memory chip can be increased without additional restrictions on memory access.
