  • Patent number: 8917564
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device having a 3D stacked structure includes: a first semiconductor area with a stacked structure of a first layer having first data and a second layer having second data; a first line for delivering an access signal for accessing the first semiconductor area; and a second line for outputting the first and/or second data from the first semiconductor area, wherein access timings of accessing the first and second layers are controlled so that a first time delay from the delivery of the access signal to the first layer to the output of the first data is substantially identical to a second time delay from the delivery of the access signal to the second layer to the output of the second data, thereby compensating for skew according to an inter-layer timing delay and thus performing a normal operation. Accordingly, the advantage of high-integration according to a stacked structure can be maximized by satisfying data input/output within a predetermined standard.

  • Patent number: 8873324
    Abstract: A refresh address is generated with a refresh period for refreshing a memory device with refresh leveraging. A respective refresh is performed on a weak cell having a first address when the refresh address is a second address instead of on a first strong cell having the second address. A respective refresh is performed on one of the first strong cell or a second strong cell having a third address when the refresh address is the third address. Address information is stored for only one of the first, second, and third addresses such that memory capacity may be reduced. In alternative aspects, a respective refresh is performed on one of a weak cell, a first strong cell, or a second strong cell depending on a flag when the refresh address is any of at least one predetermined address to result in refresh leveraging.
