1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a plurality of modules; a plurality of delay monitors, wherein each delay monitor includes a ring oscillator having a plurality of gate elements and measures a delay time of said gate elements, and a control unit that whether or not the delay time measured by said delay monitor exceeds a predetermined reference value, wherein, of said delay monitors, every two delay monitors disposed near to each other form one pair, wherein a ring oscillator in one delay monitor of said pair continues to oscillate except for a predetermined number of cycles before and after a delay time measurement period and a ring oscillator in the other delay monitor of said pair oscillates only during a delay time measurement period, and said control unit determines a difference between a delay time measured by said one delay monitor and a delay time measured by said other delay monitor. |
