本技術によれば、同じアレイデバイスを同じマスクセットを利用して作成し、かつ相互に電気的な接続を有した半導体デバイスにおいて、外部信号による電位書き込みによって積層された素子の上下(Z軸)方向の配置アドレスが同定される半導体装置を提供することができる。
図2を再度参照するに、複数のチップを積層した場合、貫通電極が設けられ、各チップは、貫通電極を介して電気的に接続される。
図2に示したように、複数のチップを積層した場合、何層目のチップにデータを出力するのか、何層目のチップからのデータであるのかを識別する必要がある。そこで、本技術においては、以下に説明するような貫通電極をチップに形成する。
全ての信号線の接続経路を積層チップ毎に作り分けるためには、第2の貫通電極の接続位置を、積層数分だけ乗算した個数分準備しなければならないが、貫通電極を形成するために設けられる貫通接続孔は、通常のコンタクトホールと比較すると極めて大きなサイズで描かれているため、レイアウト面積のロスが大きくなってしまう可能性がある。
上記したように、各層のチップに、何層目のチップであるかを表すアドレスが書き込まれることで、例えば、以下に説明する冗長領域の共有を行えるようになる。まず図6を参照して不良が発生した列を他の列に置き換えることについて説明する。
次に、本技術を適用してFPGA(プログラマブル・ロジック・アレイ)を作成する場合について説明する。まず本技術を適用した場合と適用していない場合との違いを説明するために、適用していない場合について図8を参照して説明する。
上述したように、本技術によれば、複数のチップを積層し、各チップが何層目に位置するかを識別できるようになる。例えば、複数のFPGAチップを積層し、それらの複数のFPGAチップを、あたかも1枚のチップのように扱うようにすることができる。換言すれば、複数のFPGAチップを積層することで、上下左右方向の3次元的に信号の授受を行える1枚のチップとして扱うことができる。
図14を参照し、上記した実施の形態を適用した素子配置について説明する。
本技術の配線接続構造を用いた別の適用例として、メモリ素子(換言すれば、メモリチップ、あるいはメモリダイ)を複数個積層した積層メモリ構造体において、本技術の配線接続構造を適用した実施の形態について説明する。
第1の積層メモリの構造は、複数個のメモリチップと、これら複数個のメモリチップの動作を制御する制御チップとが積層された積層メモリ構造体である。第1の積層メモリ構造において、メモリに書き込まれるデータやメモリから読み出されるデータを伝送する信号線は、積層メモリ構造体に備わる各メモリチップへ、それぞれ独立に接続される。
第2の積層メモリの構造は、複数個のメモリチップと、これら複数個のメモリチップの動作を制御する制御チップとが積層された積層メモリ構造体である。第2の積層メモリ構造において、メモリに書き込まれるデータやメモリから読み出されるデータを伝送する信号線は、積層メモリ構造体に備わる各メモリチップと多重化されて接続される。
制御信号線の多重度>データ信号線の多重度>チップ指定信号線の多重度
の関係が満たされる。
第3の積層メモリの構造は、複数個のメモリチップと、これら複数個のメモリチップの動作を制御する制御チップとが積層された積層メモリ構造体である。第3の積層メモリ構造において、メモリに書き込まれるデータやメモリから読み出されるデータを伝送する信号線は、積層メモリ構造体に備わる各メモリチップへ、多重化されて接続される。
制御信号線の多重度>チップ指定信号線の多重度>データ信号線の多重度
の関係が満たされる。
第4の積層メモリの構造は、第2の積層メモリの構造と同じであるが、チップ指定信号線が、デコードされたデータを伝送する点で異なる。
制御信号線の多重度=チップ指定信号線の多重度>データ信号線の多重度
の関係が満たされる。
第5の積層メモリの構造は、第3の積層メモリの構造と同じであるが、チップ指定信号線が、デコードされたデータを伝送する点で異なる。
制御信号線の多重度=チップ指定信号線の多重度>データ信号線の多重度
の関係が満たされる。
例えば、図15を参照して説明したイメージセンサ600は、デジタルスチルカメラやビデオカメラ等の撮像装置や、携帯電話機などの撮像機能を有する携帯端末装置や、画像読取部に撮像装置を用いる複写機など、画像取込部(光電変換部)に撮像素子を用いる電子機器全般に対して適用可能である。
・自動停止等の安全運転や、運転者の状態の認識等のために、自動車の前方や後方、周囲、車内等を撮影する車載用センサ、走行車両や道路を監視する監視カメラ、車両間等の測距を行う測距センサ等の、交通の用に供される装置
・ユーザのジェスチャを撮影して、そのジェスチャに従った機器操作を行うために、TVや、冷蔵庫、エアーコンディショナ等の家電に供される装置
・内視鏡や、赤外光の受光による血管撮影を行う装置等の、医療やヘルスケアの用に供される装置
・防犯用途の監視カメラや、人物認証用途のカメラ等の、セキュリティの用に供される装置
・肌を撮影する肌測定器や、頭皮を撮影するマイクロスコープ等の、美容の用に供される装置
・スポーツ用途等向けのアクションカメラやウェアラブルカメラ等の、スポーツの用に供される装置
・畑や作物の状態を監視するためのカメラ等の、農業の用に供される装置
