Each of the memory chips includes: a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the memory chip; and a chip ID output unit configured to generate a chip ID for the memory chip based on an output of the temperature sensor.
Claims18
A semiconductor apparatus comprising a plurality of memory chips which are sequentially stacked,
- wherein each of the memory chips comprises:
- a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the memory chip;
- and
- a chip identification (ID) output unit configured to generate a chip ID for the memory chip based on an output of the temperature to sensor.
A chip identification (ID) generation method for a semiconductor apparatus including a plurality of memory chips stacked therein, comprising the steps of:
- outputting different temperature values of the respective memory chips through temperature sensors included in the respective memory chips;
- and
- generating chip IDs for the respective memory chips, based on the temperature values outputted from the respective temperature is sensors.
A semiconductor apparatus comprising a plurality of memory chips which are stacked,
- wherein at least one memory chip comprises:
- a temperature sensor configured to sense the temperature of the memory chip;
- and
- a chip identification (ID) output unit configured to generate a chip ID for the memory chip based on an output of the temperature sensor.
