  • Publication number: 20240079464
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first well and a second well. The first well is configured to operate as a back gate terminal of a first transistor. The second well is separated from the first well, and is configured to operate as a back gate terminal of a second transistor. Each of a first source/drain terminal of the second transistor, and a first source/drain terminal of the first transistor and the back gate terminal of the first transistor are coupled to each other.

  • Publication number: 20230410883
    Abstract: A memory driver includes a word line driver circuit, a reference circuit, and a bias circuit. The word line driver circuit is coupled to a word line and configured to selectively provide a reference voltage from a reference node to the word line according to an input signal. The reference circuit has a capacitor coupled to the reference node. The reference circuit is configured to store the reference voltage on the capacitor and lower the reference voltage from a first voltage level to a second voltage level when the reference voltage is provided by the word line driver circuit from the reference node to the word line. The bias circuit coupled to the reference node and configured to regulate the reference voltage at the reference node by the second voltage level.

  • Patent number: 11386971
    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device according to the present embodiment includes an antifuse element and a first element. The antifuse element is connected at one end to a first terminal to which a write voltage is applicable, and includes a gate oxide film. The first element is connected to the other end of the antifuse element. In a case where the write voltage that breaks the gate oxide film is supplied to the first terminal and the gate oxide film is not broken, the first element supplies a second potential that makes a potential difference between the one end and the other end less than a potential that breaks the gate oxide film, to the other end.
