  • Patent number: 4855628
    Abstract: A sense amplifier and high performance DRAM, in combination, has in the DRAM at least one row of memory cells, whereby the memory cells of the row may be arranged in respective columns with memory cells of other rows. Each of the memory cells has a transistor and a capacitor connected serially between one of bit lines successively along the row and a fixed voltage source. Word lines are respectively connected to gates of the transistors of the memory cells for activating the memory cell selectively according to row address. The sense amplifier has a cross-coupled bistable flip-flop connecting the bit lines to each other in the row. A latch transistor connected to the flip-flop detects and amplifies a voltage difference between the bit lines. The bit lines are equalized and precharged with a reference voltage in response to a clock control signal. A cross-coupled pair of transistors also connecting the bit lines to each other transfer a charging voltage to the bit lines.

  • Patent number: 4826783
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for fabricating a BiCMOS device, in which said device has a Si substrate of a first conductivity in which there is formed a first substrate region of a second conductivity for a bipolar transistor, a second substrate region of said second conductivity for a first MOSFET, having a source and drain of the first conductivity, and in which a part of said Si substrate is formed to provide a second MOSFET which has a source and drain of the second conductivity. A first nitride layer is used to prevent the substrate under a masking layer from oxidizing during the following oxidation processes, wherein the masking layer is composed of a oxide layer and the nitride layer. After some processes, the masking layer is removed. Implanting As impurities, a new oxide layer and a new nitride layer are deposited, wherein the role of the nitride layer is to protect a shallow emitter region.

  • Patent number: 4825420
    Abstract: A C-MOS address buffer for use in a semiconductor memory device is clocked by an inverted column address strobe signal .phi..sub.CAL of an external column address strobe signal CAS. The signal .phi..sub.CAL is supplied to the drain of a feedback transistor in a schmitt trigger and is reinverted to provide a signal corresponding to the address strobe signal CAS. This signal is coupled to the gate of a transistor which controls the application of a supply voltage to the schmitt trigger circuit. Invalid timing address signals between the address input signal Ai and the clock signal comprising the signal .phi..sub.CAL are thus prevented. Also sufficient address set up time and hold time are guaranteed.

  • Patent number: 4825417
    Abstract: A sense amplifier having an optimized structural lay-out for D-RAM on the C-MOS provides the same time lag from nodes of the sense amplifier and does not produce unbalances in the voltages. This allows the sense amplifier to uniformly distribute the parasitic capacitance of the bit lines used for the D-RAM on the C-MOS. The sense amplifier is connected to a memory cell array so that transistors and capacitors are coupled with a plurality of bit lines and word lines situated on the semiconductor substrate. The amplifier has a first semiconductor region which is within an N type well region located on the P type semiconductor substrate to form a first latch circuit. A second semiconductor region which is contiguous to the N type well region is also formed on the semiconductor substrate to form an N-MOS transistor. Lastly, a third semiconductor region, which is contiguous to the N type well region and the second semiconductor region, forms a second latch circuit having an N-MOS transistor.

  • Patent number: 4794568
    Abstract: A normal decoder and a redundant decoder having address program devices are used for the replacement of bad cells. The number of address program devices is one more than the number of input address bits for selecting a normal row or column. The input signals of the additional program device are complementary to the input signals of one of the other program devices. The program of the program devices have two steps to repair the faulty cells. To increase the reliability of redundancy, a nonvolatile memory element used in the program devices is a bridge connected four cell FLOTOX type nonvolatile memory device.
