摘要： The line change-over circuit suitable for the semiconductor memory having a redundancy memory column comprises a pair of transfer gate elements provided between a first node to which a first signal to be transmitted is supplied and a pair of transmission lines, first and second switch elements. The paired transfer gate elements are controlled on a switch in complementary manner each other according to a transfer signal. The first switch element is controlled on a switch according to the transfer signal, and the second switch element is controlled on a switch according to the first signal transmitted to one of the paired transmission lines. The first switch element turns one of the transmission lines to a fixed potential like ground potential when it is kept on, and the second switch element turns the other of the transmission lines to a fixed potential when it is kept on. The line change-over circuit in the above configuration is effective to prevent a floating state of the paired transmission lines.

摘要： This reference voltage generator device detects a voltage corresponding to an energy gap of a semiconductor, or a voltage of a value close thereto, or a voltage based on an energy level of a semiconductor, and generates the detected voltage as a reference voltage. The reference voltage is generated by detecting a difference of threshold voltages of first and second insulated gate field-effect transistors (IGFETs). Gate electrodes of the first and second IGFETs are formed on gate insulating films which are formed on different surface areas of an identical semiconductor substrate under substantially the same conditions. The gate electrodes of the first and second IGFETs are respectively made of two semiconductors which are selected from among a semiconductor of a first conductivity type, a semiconductor of a second conductivity type and an intrinsic semiconductor made of an identical semiconductor material, and which have Fermi energy levels of values different from each other. The channels of the first and second IGFETs have an identical conductivity type. On the basis of a self-alignment structure, at least those parts of first and second polycrystalline semiconductor regions being the gate electrodes of the first and second IGFETs which are proximate to source and drain regions are doped with the same impurity as that of the source and drain regions, and a central part of one of the first and second polycrystalline semiconductor regions is doped with an impurity of a selected one of the first conductivity type and the second conductivity type.

摘要： An electrically programmable read only memory includes a plurality of non-volatile memory elements having control gates which are commonly connected to a first word line and drains which are coupled to a write-down circuit for supplying a write-down voltage to said drains. To prevent the flow of leakage current caused by parasitic capacitance, at least one of source electrodes of the plurality of non-volatile memory elements is connected to ground potential through the drain-source path of a first switch MISFET whose gate electrode is connected to the first word line. When a word line driving signal of non-selection level is applied to the first word line, the first switch MISFET is non-conductive. Thus, leakage current is prohibited from flowing through the first switch MISFET. Further, in order to prevent deterioration of the rewrite-down efficiency of the memory, the write-down circuit includes a pn-junction element having a junction characteristic which is substantially equal to the drain junction characteristic of the non-volatile memory elements. The level of a write-down voltage to be applied to the drains of the non-volatile memory element is determined on the basis of the reverse breakdown voltage of the pn-junction element. Thus, the breakdown of the drain junction of the non-volatile memory elements during a write-down operation can be prevented, so that deterioration of the rewrite-down efficiency of the electrically programmable read only memory can be prevented.

摘要： Digit lines, connected to the input and output terminals of a memory cell composed of MISFETs, are coupled to common data lines through a switching circuit which is controlled by a decoder circuit. There is also connected with the digit lines a load which is composed of a plurality of enhancement mode MISFETs connected in series in the diode form. The high level of the signals at the digit lines is lowered by the action of the load means. In response to the reduction in the potentials at the digit lines, the switching means is rendered conductive at an early rise time of control signals. As a result, the operating speed of the memory circuit can be increased.

摘要： An SRAM including a memory cell having a high-resistance load element. The load element is formed from a polysilicon film, and an impurity is introduced into at least a part of the polysilicon film for the purpose of increasing the threshold voltage of a parasitic MISFET formed using the load element as its channel region. Alternatively, the deposition of the polysilicon film is carried out at a relatively high temperature, thereby preventing any increase in the current flowing through the load element, and thus reducing the power dissipation in the SRAM.
