Abstract: Channels of two transistors are vertically formed on portions of two opposite side surfaces of one active region, and gate electrodes are vertically formed on a device isolation layer contacting the channels of the active region. A common bit line contact plug is formed in the central portions of the active region, two storage node contact plugs are formed on both sides of the bit line contact plug, and an insulating spacer is formed on a side surface of the bit line contact plug. A word line, a bit line, and a capacitor are sequentially stacked on the semiconductor substrate, like a conventional semiconductor memory device. Thus, effective space arrangement of a memory cell is possible such that a 4F2 structure is constituted, and a conventional line and contact forming process can be applied such that highly integrated semiconductor memory device is readily fabricated.

Abstract: A system includes a memory controller adapted to output address signals, command signals and select signals; a plurality of memory modules; and a plurality of buses each corresponding to one of the memory modules. Each bus is adapted to transmit corresponding ones of the address signals, the command signals, and the select signals to the corresponding memory module. Each of the memory modules includes: a plurality of memory devices; and a register adapted to receive and buffer the corresponding command and address signals transmitted to the memory module, and adapted to transmit the buffered command signal to the memory devices which are to be accessed, in response to the corresponding select signal for accessing the memory devices.
Abstract: Output pads on an integrated circuit (IC) chip are arranged along a first longer side and are arranged along a second longer side with input pads. The output pads are connected to respective output patterns formed on top and bottom surfaces of a base film. All the output patterns may pass over the first longer side. Alternatively, the output patterns connected to the output pads at the second longer side may pass over a shorter side. These pattern structures establish an effective pad arrangement without increasing the size of a TAB package, yet allowing reduced the chip size.
