Patent number: 9835499Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device having a sensor capable of improving precision while suppressing increase in occupation area. A semiconductor device has: a first counter; and a second counter (time measuring circuit) measuring time until a count value, which is obtained by counting a first signal having a frequency corresponding to a first voltage, reaches a largest count value which can be counted by the first counter. The first counter obtains a piece of digital information corresponding to the first voltage on the basis of a count value obtained by counting a second signal having a frequency corresponding to a second voltage, which is different from the first voltage, on the basis of the time measured by the time measuring circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Naoya Arisaka, Masataka Minami, Takahiro Miki

Publication number: 20170179136Abstract: Prior known static random access memory (SRAM) cells are 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 occurrence of a problem as to the 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 supplying power to the substrate are formed in parallel to word lines in such a manner that one regions is provided per group of thirty two memory cell rows or sixty four cell rows.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Inventors: Kenichi Osada, Masataka Minami, Shuji Ikeda, Koichiro Ishibashi
