Abstract
A semiconductor device in which a plurality of chips each including a memory circuit are stacked, the semiconductor device includes measurement circuitry each of which is disposed in each of a plurality of memory areas of the plurality of chips and each of which measures a temperature, calculation circuitry that calculates a temperature of each of the memory areas based on the temperature measured by the measurement circuitry and a temperature obtained from a thermal resistance model of the semiconductor device, and control circuitry that sets a refresh interval of each of the memory areas based on the temperature of each of the memory areas, which has been calculated by the calculation circuitry, and performs a refresh operation of the memory circuit of each of the memory areas at the set refresh interval.
