    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, an N-well area formed in the substrate, a first P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor having active regions formed in the N-well area, and a first N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor having active regions formed in the substrate. The first NMOS transistor includes a first N-type active region overlapping each of the substrate and the N-well area, when viewed from above a plane parallel to a top surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory includes; a memory cell array including memory cells commonly connected to a first signal line, a first row decoder including a first pass transistor configured to provide a driving voltage to one end of the first signal line, and a second row decoder including a second pass transistor configured to provide the driving voltage to an opposing end of the first signal line. An ON-resistance of the first pass transistor is different from an ON-resistance of the second pass transistor. A first wiring line having a first resistance connects the first pass transistor and the one end of the first signal line and a second wiring line having a second resistance different from the first resistance connects the second pass transistor and the opposing end of the first signal line.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit gating circuit includes a first control stage that outputs a first internal signal based on an enable signal and a clock signal, a second control stage that outputs a second internal signal based on the first internal signal and the clock signal, and an output driver that outputs an output clock signal based on the second internal signal. The second control stage includes a first multi-finger transistor that is connected between a second node outputting the second internal signal and the 0-th node and operates based on the clock signal. A first portion of the first multi-finger transistor is formed in a first row defined on a semiconductor substrate, and a second portion of the first multi-finger transistor is formed in a second row defined on the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid standard cell that includes a semiconductor substrate, a first power rail, a second power rail, a high-speed transistor region and a low-power transistor region. The first power rail and the second power rail are formed above the semiconductor substrate and extend in a first direction and arranged sequentially in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The high-speed transistor region and the low-power transistor region are adjacent to each other in the first direction and arranged in a row region between the first power rail and the second power rail. An operation speed of a high-speed transistor formed in the high-speed transistor region is higher than an operation speed of a low-power transistor formed in the low-power transistor region, and a power consumption of the high-speed transistor is lower than a power consumption of the high-speed transistor.

    Abstract: A clock gating cell includes an input logic/latch circuit, a keeper logic/signal generating circuit, and an output driver. The input logic/latch circuit generates an internal enable signal based on first and second input enable signals, and generates a first internal signal provided to a first node based on the internal enable signal and an input clock signal. The keeper logic/signal generating circuit is connected between the first node and a second node, includes a feedback path feeding back the first internal signal, generates a second internal signal provided to the second node based on the first internal signal and the input clock signal, and includes first and second paths discharging the second node. The first and second paths are different. The second path is connected to the feedback path. The output driver generates an output clock signal based on the second internal signal.
