    Abstract: An area of a semiconductor device having a FINFET can be reduced. The drain regions of an n-channel FINFET and a p-channel FINFET are extracted by two second local interconnects from a second Y gird between a gate electrode and a dummy gate adjacent thereto, to a third Y grid adjacent to the second Y gird. These second local interconnects are connected by a first local interconnect extending in the X direction in the third Y grid. According to such a cell layout, although the number of grids is increased by one because of the arrangement of the first local interconnect, the length in the X direction can be reduced. As a result, the cell area of the unit cell can be reduced while a space between the first and second local interconnects is secured.

    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device that can generate a unique ID with the suppression of overhead. When a unique ID is generated, the potential of a word line of a memory cell in an SRAM is raised above the power supply voltage of the SRAM, and then lowered below the power supply voltage of the SRAM. When the potential of the word line is above the power supply voltage of the SRAM, the same data is supplied to both the bit lines of the memory cell. Thereby, the memory cell in the SRAM is put into an undefined state and then changed so as to hold data according to characteristics of elements or the like configuring the memory cell. In the manufacture of the SRAM, there occur variations in characteristics of elements or the like configuring the memory cell. Accordingly, the memory cell in the SRAM holds data according to variations occurring in the manufacture.

    Abstract: Based on a basic idea to effectively utilize a space created in a third wiring layer (M3) by a zero-th wiring layer (M0) which can exist by miniaturization of a FINFET, an auxiliary line AL is arranged in the space created in the third wiring layer, and this auxiliary line AL and a word line WL are electrically connected to each other. Thus, a measure (device) based on such new knowledge that rising time of a word line voltage is largely affected by a wiring resistance of the word line is achieved, a high-speed operation in an SRAM using the FINFET is achieved.

    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides an SRAM capable of stably generating a PUF-ID without having to be powered on/off under control. The SRAM including a plurality of write ports is provided with a plurality of word lines, each transferring write data from each of the write ports to one memory cell. Timing to negate at least two word lines (AWL, BWL), respectively coupled to two write ports, among the word lines is synchronized. Because synchronicity of writing different values to the memory cell is assured, by using a large number of such memory cells, it is possible to stably generate a PUF-ID without power on/off control.
