Patent attributes
A semiconductor device includes first, second and third stacked chips with a first, second and third substrate, respectively, at least three first, second and third logical circuits, respectively, and at least two first, second and third vias, respectively, and a fourth chip stacked on the third chip having a fourth substrate, and at least three fourth logical circuits. First and second ones of the first to third logical circuits of the first to fourth chips are each configured to perform a first and second logical operation, respectively, on a first and second address input signal, respectively, received at the respective chip to thereby output a first and second address output signal, respectively. Third ones are each configured to activate the respective chip based on at least the second address output signal transmitted within the respective chip.
