    摘要: A manufacturing method for semiconductor memory and a semiconductor design device, which can facilitate design and reduce a period of time required for the design, are provided. For example, when a designed memory array is verified, a read-out signal of a memory cell formulated by functions of respective parameters having various distributions is used. A value of the read-out signal is calculated by using a value extracted randomly from the distribution for each kind of parameter. Quality of the memory cell is determined from a calculated result. Calculation of the value of the read-out signal and determination of the quality of the memory cell are carried out to a great number of memory cells the memory array has. The total number of failed bits and the like obtained from these is used as an evaluation criterion.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device that can achieve high-speed operation or that is highly integrated and simultaneously can achieve high-speed operation is provided. Transistors are disposed on both sides of diffusion layer regions to which capacitor for storing information is connected and other diffusion layer region of each transistor is connected to the same bit line. When access to a memory cell is made, two transistors are activated and the information is read. When writing operation to the memory cell is carried out, two transistors are used and electric charges are written to the capacitor.

    摘要: A write command is inputted from an outside, voltages of bit lines become VDL and VSS, and a voltage in accordance with a threshold voltage (LVT: low threshold voltage, MVT: mid threshold voltage, HVT: high threshold voltage) of a memory cell transistor is written into a storage node of a capacitor via the memory cell transistor. Thereafter, when a plate line connected to a plate side of the capacitor is driven from voltage VPL to voltage VPH and the voltage of the storage node is increased due to coupling, the voltage VDL of the bit line is reduced to the voltage VDP, and the voltage excessively written into the storage node is reduced in accordance with a level of a threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor, thereby reducing a variation in the voltage of the storage node due to a variation in the threshold voltage.

    摘要: A column circuit that amplifies signals read from a sense amplifier array SAA to local input/output lines LIO in sub-amplifiers SAMP to transfer the amplified signals to main input/output lines MIO is provided. A current control circuit IC that can set one of two kinds of currents according to read enable signals RD1, RD2 is provided in each sub-amplifier SAMP. The read enable signals RD1, RD2 are generated at timings corresponding to the number of cycles in burst read operation under control of the timing controller. Current in the current control circuit IC is set to be large by the RD1 in burst read operation cycle just after activation of a memory bank, while current in the current control circuit IC is set to be small by the RD2 in the next and subsequent burst read cycles. Accordingly, expansion of an operation margin or reduction of power consumption can be realized in a semiconductor device including a semiconductor memory such as a DRAM.
