    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a quadrature error correction circuit, a clock generation circuit and a data input/output (I/O) buffer. The quadrature error correction circuit performs a locking operation to generate a first corrected clock signal and a second corrected clock signal by adjusting a skew and a duty error of a first through fourth clock signals generated based on a data clock signal and performs a relocking operation to lock the second corrected clock signal to the first corrected clock signal in response to a relock signal. The clock generation circuit generates an output clock signal and a strobe signal based on the first corrected clock signal and the second corrected clock signal. The data I/O buffer generates a data signal by sampling data from a memory cell array based on the output clock signal and transmits the data signal and the strobe signal to a memory controller.

    Abstract: An example memory device includes a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer includes a memory cell array, a first bonding pad, and a first test pad. The second semiconductor layer is disposed with respect to the first semiconductor layer in a vertical direction, and includes a peripheral circuit, a second bonding pad connected to the first bonding pad, a second test pad connected to the first test pad, and a test circuit. The test circuit checks a connection state of the first and second bonding pads. The test circuit receives a first test signal through the first and second test pads, generates a first test result signal representing a first misalignment between the first and second bonding pads based on the first test signal, and compensates an operation of the peripheral circuit based on the first test result signal.
