The FinFET includes: a lower device including a lower silicon layer formed on a substrate and a gate electrode vertically formed on the substrate; an upper device including an upper silicon layer formed on the lower device and the vertically formed gate electrode; and a first solid source material layer, a solid source material interlayer insulating layer, and a second solid source material layer sequentially formed between the lower silicon layer and the upper silicon layer. Therefore, the FinFET can be provided which enhances the density of integration of a circuit, suppresses thin film damages due to ion implantation using solid phase material layers, and has a stabilized characteristic by a simple and low-cost process. Also, mobility of an upper device can be improved to enhance current drivability of the upper device, isolation can be implemented through a buried oxide layer to reduce an effect due to a field oxide layer, and raised source and drain can be implemented to reduce serial resistance components of the source and drain to increase current drivability.

The low-power clock gating circuit includes a latch circuit of an input stage and an AND gate circuit of an output stage, in which power consumption caused by leakage current in the clock gating circuit is reduced in a sleep mode, and supply of a clock to a unused device of a targeted logic circuit is prevented by the control of a clock enable signal in an active mode, thereby reducing power consumption. The low-power clock gating circuit using an MTCMOS technique uses devices having a low threshold voltage and devices having a high threshold voltage, which makes it possible to implement a high-speed, low-power circuit, unlike a conventional clock gating circuit using a single threshold voltage.

    摘要: Provided is a parallel processor for supporting a floating-point operation. The parallel processor has a flexible structure for easy development of a parallel algorithm involving multimedia computing, requires low hardware cost, and consumes low power. To support floating-point operations, the parallel processor uses floating-point accumulators and a flag for floating-point multiplication. Using the parallel processor, it is possible to process a geometric transformation operation in a 3-dimensional (3D) graphics process at low cost. Also, the cost of a bus width for instructions can be minimized by a partitioned Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) method and a method of conditionally executing instructions.

    摘要: A multiple-single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processor and an arithmetic method using the same are disclosed. When various arithmetic operations should be individually carried out by SIMD arithmetic units, control right is sub-divided to perform the arithmetic operations, such that the time of the arithmetic operations can be shortened and the efficiency thereof can be raised. When sub-divided control is not required, the control right is withdrawn and the arithmetic operations are carried out using a minimum number of program memories and a minimum number of SIMD arithmetic units, such that memory and power consumption thereof can be reduced.
