    摘要: The present invention is directed to simplify a circuit for fixing an output logic of a logic gate while suppressing a subthreshold current. A logic circuit has an n-channel type first transistor capable of interrupting power supply to a logic gate in accordance with an input control signal, and a p-channel type second transistor capable of fixing an output node of the logic gate to a high level interlockingly with the power supply interrupting operation by the first transistor, and a threshold of the first transistor is set to be higher than that of a transistor as a component of the logic gate. Means for interrupting the power supply to the logic gate is realized by the first transistor, and means for fixing an output node of the logic gate to the high level is realized by the second transistor, thereby simplifying the circuit for fixing the output logic of the logic gate while suppressing a subthreshold current.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit with memory redundancy circuit to address the problems of increased area, power consumption and access time which is caused by using an ECC circuit for error correction. The circuit comprises: a plurality of memory mats; a local bus, parallel to word lines, which transfers read data and write data from memory cells; a global bus for writing, parallel to data lines, which transfers write data from an input pad IO; a global bus for reading, parallel to data lines, which transfers read data to an output pad IO; and at least one error correction circuit located at an intersection of the global buses and the local bus. Reading and writing may each be completed in a single cycle, and during a write operation, data which is different from data previously read is written. By this configuration, an increase in area and power consumption can be avoided and errors such as soft errors can be corrected.

    摘要: Prior known static random access memory (SRAM) cells required that a diffusion layer be bent into a key-like shape in order to make electrical contact with a substrate with a P-type well region formed therein, which would result in a decrease in asymmetry leading to difficulty in micro-patterning. To avoid this problem, the P-type well region in which an inverter making up an SRAM cell is formed is subdivided into two portions, which are disposed on the opposite sides of an N-type well region NW1 and are formed so that a diffusion layer forming a transistor has no curvature while causing the layout direction to run in a direction parallel to well boundary lines and bit lines. At intermediate locations of an array, regions for use in supply power to the substrate are formed in parallel to word lines.

    摘要: High manufacturing yield is realized and variation in threshold voltage of each MOS transistor in a CMOS·SRAM is compensated. Body bias voltages are applied to wells for MOS transistors of each SRAM memory cell in any active mode of an information holding operation, a write operation and a read operation of an SRAM. Threshold voltages of PMOS and NMOS transistors of the SRAM are first measured. Control information is programmed into control memories according to results of determination. Levels of the body bias voltages are adjusted based on the programs so that variations in the threshold voltages of the MOS transistors of the CMOS·SRAM are controlled to a predetermined error span. Body bias voltage corresponding to a reverse body bias or an extremely shallow forward body bias is applied to a substrate for the MOS transistors with an operating voltage applied to the source of each MOS transistor.

    摘要: The semiconductor device makes a comparison between a word-line timing signal for determining a word-line activation time and a reference signal, applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a read margin when the result of the comparison represents a low condition of the read margin, and applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a write margin when the comparison result represents a low condition of the write margin. The reference signal is selected depending on whether to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line activation time (or word-line pulse width), or to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the process fluctuation (or variation in threshold voltage). By controlling the back-gate biases according to the word-line pulse width, an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line pulse width, and an operating margin fluctuating owing to the variation in threshold voltage during its fabrication are improved.

Therefore, there is provided a technique for reducing the leakage current of MOS transistors in SRAM memory cells MC by controlling a potential of a source line ssl of the driver MOS transistors in the memory cells.
