    摘要: In a memory array structured of memory cells using a storage circuit STC and a comparator CP, either one electrode of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor, whose gate electrode is connected to a search line, of a plurality of transistors structuring the comparator CP is connected to a match line HMLr precharged to a high voltage. Further, a match detector MDr is arranged on a match line LMLr precharged to a low voltage to discriminate a comparison signal voltage generated at the match line according to the comparison result of data. According to such memory array structure and operation, comparison operation can be performed at low power and at high speed while influence of search-line noise is avoided in a match line pair. Therefore, a low power content addressable memory which allows search operation at high speed can be realized.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided, in which variation in the threshold voltage of a MISFET, for example, a MISFET pair that constitute a sense amplifier, can be reduced. In a logic circuit area over which a logic circuit such as a sense amplifier circuit required to drive a memory cell is formed, n-type active areas having no gate electrode are arranged at both edges of active areas over which a p-channel MISFET pair for constituting a sense amplifier are formed. Assuming that the width between active areas nwp1 and nw1 is L4, the width between active areas nwp2 and nw2 is L6, and the width between active areas nwp1 and nwp2 is L5, (L4-L5), (L6-L5), and (L4-L6) are set equal to almost zero or smaller than twice the minimum processing dimension, so that the variation in shape of the device isolation trenches with the widths L4, L5, and L6 can be reduced, and the threshold voltage difference in the MISFET pair can be reduced.

    摘要: A capacitor consisting of a storage electrode (19), a capacitor dielectric film (20) and a plate electrode (21) is formed in a trench formed through dielectric films (6, 8, 10 and 12) stacked on a semiconductor substrate (1) and buried wiring layers (9 and 11) are formed under the capacitor. As the capacitor is formed not in the semiconductor substrate but over it, there is room in area in which the capacitor can be formed and the difficulty of forming wiring is reduced by using the wiring layers (9 and 11) for a global word line and a selector line. As the upper face of an dielectric film (32) which is in contact with the lower face of wiring (34) in a peripheral circuit area is extended into a memory cell area and is in contact with the side of the capacitor (33), step height between the peripheral circuit area and the memory cell area is remarkably reduced.
