Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an internal clock generation circuit configured to generate an internal clock; a plurality of unit circuits configured to have a first unit circuit and a second unit circuit operating while being synchronized with an internal clock; a plurality of transfer circuits including a first transfer circuit configured to provide a first transfer path having a first delay time, and a second transfer circuit configured to provide a second transfer path having a second delay time different from the first delay time; and a delay compensation circuit configured to compare a first clock input to the first unit circuit through the first transfer path with a second clock input to the second unit circuit through the second transfer path, and to adjust the second delay time so that the adjusted second delay time matches the first delay time.
