Abstract: A semiconductor device with a memory unit of which the variations in the operation timing are reduced is provided. For example, the semiconductor device is provided with dummy bit lines which are arranged collaterally with a proper bit line, and column direction load circuits which are sequentially coupled to the dummy bit lines. Each column direction load circuit is provided with plural NMOS transistors fixed to an off state, predetermined ones of which have the source and the drain suitably coupled to any of the dummy bit lines. Load capacitance accompanying diffusion layer capacitance of the predetermined NMOS transistors is added to the dummy bit lines, and corresponding to the load capacitance, the delay time from a decode activation signal to a dummy bit line signal is set up. The dummy bit line signal is employed when setting the start-up timing of a sense amplifier.

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.
