    摘要: A temperature control method of a semiconductor device is provided. The temperature control method includes detecting a temperature of the semiconductor device; activating a reverse body biasing operation in which a body bias voltage applied to a function block of the semiconductor device is regulated, when the detected temperature is greater than a first temperature level; and activating a thermal throttling operation in which at least one of a frequency of a driving clock provided to a function block of the semiconductor device and a driving voltage applied to the function block of the semiconductor device is regulated, when the detected temperature is greater than a second temperature level that is different than the first temperature level.

    摘要: Voltage monitors include a predelay cell having an input responsive to a first clock signal. This cell is configured to generate a predelayed clock signal at an output thereof. A serially-connected string of data delay cells is provided, which has an input responsive to the predelayed clock signal. A serially-connected string of clock delay cells is provided, which has an input responsive to a second clock signal that is synchronized to the first clock signal. A plurality latches are provided. The latches have respective data inputs, which are responsive to first periodic signals generated at respective outputs of the serially-connected string of data delay cells, and respective clock/sync terminals, which are responsive to second periodic signals generated at respective outputs of the serially-connected string of clock delay cells. The latches enable loading of a delay code value, which indicates power supply voltage variation.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices may include standard cells arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction. Both the first and second directions may be parallel to an upper surface of the substrate. Each of the standard cells may include semiconductor elements. The semiconductor device may also include filler cells between two standard cells, and each of the filler cells may include a filler active region and a filler contact connected to the filler active region and may extend in the first direction. The semiconductor device may further include a lower wiring pattern electrically connected to at least one of the semiconductor elements and may extend into at least one of the filler cells in the second direction, and the filler contacts may include wiring filler contacts lower than the lower wiring pattern and connected to at least one of the lower wiring pattern.
