Abstract:
A resistive memory device includes: a memory cell comprising first and second electrodes and a resistive layer formed therebetween, wherein the resistive layer is formed of a resistance change material; and a strained film formed adjacent to the resistive layer and configured to apply a strain to the resistive layer.
Abstract:
This technology relates to smoothly performing a test on a memory circuit having a high memory capacity while reducing the size of a test circuit. A test circuit according to the present invention includes a test execution unit configured to perform a test on a target test memory circuit, an internal storage unit configured to store data for the test execution unit, and a conversion setting unit configured to set a part of or the entire storage space of the target test memory circuit as an external storage unit for storing the data for the test execution unit.
Abstract:
Semiconductor device with a controllable decoupling capacitor includes a decoupling capacitor connected between a power voltage terminal and a ground terminal and a switching unit configured to enable/disable the decoupling capacitor in response to a control signal. According to another aspect, a semiconductor device with a controllable decoupling capacitor includes multiple circuits, decoupling capacitors being connected in parallel to each of the circuits and switching units being configured to enable/disable the decoupling capacitors in response to control signals.
Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a sense amplifier for sensing input data and a sense amplifier controller for blocking a signal path between the sense amplifier and a memory cell when a test mode signal is activated.
