A semiconductor device in which shield wiring is arranged between the semiconductor substrate and the power source wiring for supplying the power source potential or ground potential. Noise, as represented by variations in the potential of the semiconductor substrate, is substantially prevented from transferring to the aforementioned power source wiring by the shield wiring. In one aspect, shield wiring 1 is arranged between Vss wiring for supplying potential to the various circuits on the semiconductor substrate and substrate 7. This shield wiring 1 is connected to grounding lead frame 18 via M1 intra-chip wiring 4, M2 intra-chip wiring 5, connecting part 40, bonding pad 3 and bonding wire 8. Since the coupling impedance between shield wiring 1 and substrate 7 (due almost solely to the electrostatic capacitance Css) is large, and coupling impedance between Vss wiring 2 and substrate 7 (due almost solely to the junction capacitance D) is low, the noise caused by variations in the potential of substrate 7 is transferred to shield wiring 1, while it is not appreciably transferred to Vss wiring 2.

A period pulse corresponding to the shortest information retention time of those of dynamic memory cells is counted to form a refresh address to be assigned to a plurality of word lines. A carry signal outputted from the refresh address counter is divided by a divider. For each of said plurality of word lines assigned with the refresh address, one of a short period corresponding to an output pulse of a timer or a long period corresponding to the divided pulse from the divider is stored in a storage circuit as refresh time setting information. A memory cell refresh operation to be performed by the refresh address is made valid or invalid for each word line according to the refresh time setting information stored in the storage circuit and the refresh time setting information itself is made invalid by the output pulse of the divider.

Pattern data of a phase shift mask can be inspected: (101) by separating and laying out pattern data of a phase shift mask in an actual pattern data layer, an auxiliary pattern data layer and a phase shift pattern data layer; (102) by inspecting and correcting only the data of the actual pattern of the actual pattern data layer; (108) by making data of an estimated pattern estimated to be transferred to a semiconductor wafer from the data of the synthetic data of the correct actual pattern data, the auxiliary pattern data and the phase shift pattern data, which are inspected and corrected; and (104) by comparing the estimated pattern data and the actual pattern data to inspect the data of the auxiliary pattern and the phase shift pattern.

According to one aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor chip, which can be mounted in a zigzag in-line type package (ZIP) partially using a tabless lead frame, includes bonding pads arranged on the chip so that the chip can be applied also to other different types of packages. These different types of packages include a small out-line J-bent type package (SOJ) which uses a lead frame with tab, and a dual in-line type package (DIP) which uses a tabless lead frame. Further, a plurality of bonding pad pairs are provided amongst the bonding pads on the chip, each pad of such bonding pad pairs having the same function as the other pad associated therewith thereby duplicating a common function in different bonding pads on the semiconductor chip so as to make the semiconductor chip compatible with a variety of or different types of packages. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a resin-encapsulated semiconductor device of the ZIP structure is provided in which a semiconductor pellet having a plurality of external terminals disposed on a device-forming surface along each side of the planar shape is encapsulated with a resin, wherein inner leads for signals connected electrically with external terminals, disposed opposing to the surface of the resin-encapsulated portion disposed with outer leads and disposed along the most remote side of the semiconductor pellet, are arranged so as to overlap the semiconductor pellet.

Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device having a data retention operating mode. When an entry into the data retention operating mode is performed, parity information on data of the memory cells is calculated and the error correction on the memory cells is carried out at a time of an exit from the data retention operating mode, by an ECC (Error Correction Circuit). The semiconductor memory device includes means for outputting from an NC pin flag information indicating that the semiconductor memory device is the one including the data retention operating mode, that the exit processing from the data retention operating mode is under way, and that the error correction cannot be performed.
摘要:
In a semiconductor memory device which is intended to have a smaller sense amplifier forming area to match with small-sized bit lines, first bit lines BL (e.g., BL2a) are formed on a first layer, and lines M2 (e.g., M2a) are formed on a second layer and connected to the first bit lines in a first connecting area located between a first memory cell area and a sense amplifier area. Second bit lines BL (e.g., BL1c) are formed on the first layer, and lines M2 (e.g., M2c) are formed on the second layer and connected to the second bit lines in a second connecting area located between a second memory cell area and the sense amplifier area. As a result, the lines M2 on the second layer can have a smaller line interval.
