Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor chips vertically stacked and electrically coupled to one another through TSVs (Through-Silicon Vias), a plurality of semiconductor elements formed in each of the semiconductor chips, a plurality of nodes suitable for coupling the semiconductor elements to one another, and a node control device suitable for being provided in each of the nodes, deciding whether to couple the node to a communication path based on a temperature of the node, and setting a shortest communication path among the semiconductor elements.
