20200132432 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE AND HIGH BANDWIDTH MEMORY DEVICE - An integrated circuit device and a high bandwidth memory device are disclosed. The integrated circuit device includes a plurality of warpage detection sensors at a plurality of different positions, respectively, and electrically connected in series. Each of the plurality of warpage detection sensors is configured to generate a clock signal with a period that is based on a resistance that varies based on a pressure at a corresponding position, and to generate digital data by performing a counting operation in response to the clock signal. | 2020-04-30 |
