摘要:
A MOS capacitor has uniform C-V capacitance characteristics across an operating voltage range and has reduced susceptibility to insulator breakdown and includes a semiconductor substrate of first conductivity type, a region of insulating material on an upper surface of the substrate and a well region of second conductivity type extending adjacent the region of insulating material. The well region is spaced from the region of insulating material so that the substrate extends to the upper surface therebetween. A source region of second conductivity type is formed in the well region. An insulating layer is formed on the source region and extends over the region of insulating material. A first electrode is formed on the insulating layer and a second electrode is formed on the source region. The capacitor also includes a P-N junction established between the source region of second conductivity type and the region of insulating material beneath the insulating layer. This P-N junction provides the capacitor with substantially uniform capacitance characteristics when a voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. Furthermore, because some of the voltage differential is established across the P-N junction during operation, the electric field at the corner of the region of insulating material and the insulating layer is reduced.

An integrated circuit provides a power supply voltage, a first boosted voltage, and a second boosted voltage which is preferably equal to or greater than the first boosted voltage, to the integrated circuit transistors, such that the integrated circuit transistors operate using the power supply voltage, the first boosted voltage and the second boosted voltage. The integrated circuit includes a first boosting circuit which boosts the power supply voltage to a first boosted voltage and a second boosting circuit which boosts the power supply voltage to a second boosted voltage. The first boosting circuit is preferably responsive to application of the power supply voltage to the integrated circuit and the second boosting circuit is preferably responsive to application of the power supply voltage to the integrated circuit and to an enable signal. Preferably, the first boosting circuit applies the first boosted voltage to the bulk region of selected PMOS transistors in the integrated circuit and the second boosting circuit applies the second boosting voltage to the source regions of selected PMOS transistors. In one embodiment, the first and second boosted voltages are applied to the word line driver of an integrated circuit memory device such that the second boosted voltage is applied to the source of the word line driver PMOS transistors in response to a row address strobe signal. High speed operations are thereby provided with reduced susceptibility to bridging defect errors.

摘要:
A synchronous memory includes a column main-decoder circuit that is directly coupled to column select lines (CSL), and a timing controller that controls both enable timing and disable timing of the column select lines by controlling the column pre-decoder. The CSL timing controller generates a CSL timing control signal representative of the enable timing and the disable timing of the column select lines. The column pre-decoder is either enabled or disabled depending upon logic states of the CSL timing control signal. The timing controller includes a first control circuit which provides a CSL enable control signal, a CSL disable control circuit which provides a CSL disable control signal, and a flip-flop circuit which receives the CSL enable and disable control signals and provides the CSL timing control signal.
