A DRAM capable of realizing reduced power consumption, high-speed operation, and high reliability is provided. A gate electrode configuring a memory cell transistor of the DRAM is composed of an n-type polysilicon film and a W (tungsten) film stacked thereon. A part of the polysilicon film is embedded in a trench formed in a silicon substrate in order to elongate the effective channel length of the memory cell transistor. The other part of the polysilicon film is located above the trench, and an upper surface thereof is located above a surface of the silicon substrate (p-type well). Therefore, distances between the W film and a source and drain (n-type semiconductor regions) are ensured.

In a semiconductor memory device, with respect to low voltage application, technique of controlling a gate voltage of a shared MOS transistor increasing sense speed and increasing data read speed by preventing data inversion caused by noise and reducing bit line capacitance during sensing is provided. By a shared MOS transistor gate voltage control circuit connecting a sense amplifier and a memory cell array, a shared MOS transistor gate voltage (SHR) is lowered in two stages and bit line capacitance to be amplified is reduced taking noise during the sensing into consideration so that the sense speed is increased. Therefore, a timing of activating a column selection signal can be hastened and as a result, data read time can be reduced.

These delay circuit blocks are controlled so that the delay of each delay circuit is a suitable value in accordance with column latency and an operating frequency, and each delay is controlled corresponding to dispersion in a process and operating voltage and a change of operating temperature.

Providing a semiconductor device which lessen influence of the transistor threshold voltage deviation that is one of noise elements when the sense amplifiers are amplified, and which are capable of accurately sensing and amplifying micro signals having read from the memory cells in the sense amplifiers. In a DRAM chip, P+-type gate PMOSs of P+-type polysilicon gates each having a low impurity density of channel and N+-type gate NMOSs of N+-type polysilicon gates are used in a sense amplifier cross coupling section to further increase substrate voltages of the PMOSs and to decrease substrate voltages of the NMOS. For this reason, a deviation of threshold voltage caused by channel implantation is reduced, and a small signal generated on a data line at a read operation of a low-potential memory array is accurately sensed and amplified by a sense amplifier. In addition, the threshold voltages are increased by a substrate bias effect, and a leakage current in a sense amplifier data holding state is reduced.

A memory module includes a plurality of memory chips, a plurality of data register buffers, and a command/address/control register buffer mounted on a module PCB. The data register buffers perform data transfers with the memory chips. The command/address/control register buffer performs buffering of a command/address/control signal and generates a control signal. The buffered command/address/control signal is supplied to the memory chips, and the control signal is supplied to the data register buffers. According to the present invention, because line lengths between the data register buffers and the memory chips are shortened, it is possible to realize a considerably high data transfer rate.
