Abstract: A method for implementing a spare logic of a semiconductor memory apparatus includes the steps of: forming one or more contact conductive layers, which are independent, in a power line and an active area, respectively; and performing metal programming on the contact conductive layers formed in the power line and the active area to electrically couple the independent contact conductive layers formed in the power line and the active area.

Abstract: A memory system includes: a controller configured to provide a hidden auto refresh command; and a memory configured to perform a refresh operation in response to the hidden auto refresh command. The controller and the memory communicate with each other so that each refresh address of the controller and the memory has the same value as each other.

Abstract: A semiconductor apparatus includes first and second vias, a first circuit unit, a second circuit unit and a third circuit unit. The first and second vias electrically connect a first chip and a second chip with each other. The first circuit unit is disposed in the first chip, receives test data, and is connected with the first via. The second circuit unit is disposed in the first chip, and is connected with the second via and the first circuit unit. The third circuit unit is disposed in the second chip, and is connected with the first via. The first circuit unit outputs an output signal thereof to one of the first via and the second circuit unit in response to a first control signal.
