Abstract
A semiconductor system including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a semiconductor chip, and a method of driving the semiconductor system are described. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes a plurality of semiconductor chips, at least one first chip through via suitable for penetrating through the plurality of semiconductor chips and interfacing a source ID code between the plurality of semiconductor chips, a plurality of second chip through vias suitable for penetrating through the plurality of semiconductor chips and interfacing a plurality of chip selection signals between the plurality of semiconductor chips, wherein the semiconductor chip uses one of chip selection signals as an internal chip selection signal in response to a chip ID code by selecting one of a unique ID code for the semiconductor chip and an alternative ID code for a preset semiconductor chip when the semiconductor chip fails.
