Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes an external resistor provided on a board and a plurality of memory dies mounted on the board, designated as a master die and slave dies. The memory dies are commonly connected to the external resistor. The master die performs a first impedance calibration operation during an initialization sequence of the semiconductor memory device and stores, in a first register set therein, first calibration data, a first voltage and a first temperature. Each of the slave dies, after the first impedance calibration operation is completed, performs a second impedance calibration operation during the initialization sequence and stores, in a second register set therein, second calibration data associated with the second impedance calibration operation and offset data corresponding to a difference between the first calibration data and the second calibration data.

Abstract: A memory system includes a memory controller and a memory device. The memory controller generates refresh commands periodically by an average refresh interval. The memory device performs a normal refresh operation and a hammer refresh operation during a refresh cycle time. The memory device includes a memory cell array including memory cells connected to a plurality of wordlines, a temperature sensor configured to provide temperature information by measuring an operation temperature of the memory cell array and a refresh controller configured to control the normal refresh operation and the hammer refresh operation. The refresh controller varies a hammer ratio of a unit hammer execution number of the hammer refresh operation executed during the refresh cycle time with respect to a unit normal execution number of the normal refresh operation executed during the refresh cycle time.

Abstract: A vertical variable resistance memory device includes gate electrodes and a pillar structure. The gate electrodes are spaced apart from one another on a substrate in a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate. The pillar structure extends in the vertical direction through the gate electrodes on the substrate. The pillar structure includes a vertical gate electrode extending in the vertical direction, a variable resistance pattern disposed on a sidewall of the vertical gate electrode, and a channel disposed on an outer sidewall of the variable resistance pattern. The channel and the vertical gate electrode contact each other.

Abstract: Provided are a memory device and a method of refreshing the memory device regardless of a refresh rate multiplier for a temperature. In response to a refresh command at each base refresh rate (tREFi) based on a measured temperature, a memory device refreshes M memory cell rows at room temperature, refreshes 2M memory cell rows at a high temperature, and refreshes (½)M memory cell rows at a low temperature. The memory device refreshes (n+1)*M memory cell rows at a base refresh rate tREFi in response to a refresh command applied after n skipped base refresh rates, and refreshes (n+1)*M memory cell rows at a base refresh rate tREFi in response to a pulling-in refresh command.
