Abstract:
The inventive concepts provide a three-dimensional (3D) image sensor, based on structured light (SL), having a structure in which difficulty in a manufacturing process of a wiring layer is decreased and/or an area of a bottom pad of a capacitor is increased. The 3D image sensor includes: a pixel area including a photodiode in a semiconductor substrate and a gate group including a plurality of gates; a multiple wiring layer on an upper portion of the pixel area, the multiple wiring layer including at least two wiring layers; and a capacitor structure between a first wiring layer on a lowermost wiring layer of the multiple wiring layer and a second wiring layer on the first wiring layer, the capacitor structure including a bottom pad, a top pad, and a plurality of capacitors, wherein the bottom pad is connected to the first wiring layer.

Abstract:
A method for operating a memory device includes sensing a temperature of the resistive memory device, setting a level of a set voltage or current for writing to a memory cell based on the temperature, setting a level of a reset voltage for reset writing to the memory cell based on the temperature, and performing a write operation on the memory cell based on the level of the set voltage or current and the level of the reset voltage. The memory device may be a resistive memory device.
Abstract:
A method for operating a memory device includes sensing a change in temperature of the memory device, adjusting a level of a reference current for a read operation, and reading data from memory cells of the memory device based on the adjusted level of the reference current. The level of the reference current is adjusted from a reference value to a first value when the temperature of the memory device increases and is adjusted from the reference value to a second value when the temperature of the memory device decreases. A difference between the reference value and the first value is different from a difference the reference value and the second value.
