    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit capable of protection from card hacking, by which erroneous actions are actively induced by irradiation with light and protected secret information is illegitimately acquired, is to be provided. Photodetectors, configured by a standard logic process, hardly distinguishable from other circuits and consumes very little standby power, are mounted on a semiconductor integrated circuit, such as an IC card microcomputer. Each of the photodetectors, for instance, has a configuration in which a first state is held in a static latch by its initializing action and reversal to a second state takes place when semiconductor elements in a state of non-conduction, constituting the static latch of the first state, is irradiated with light. A plurality of photodetectors are arranged in a memory cell array. By incorporating the static latch type photodetector into the memory array, they can be arranged inconspicuously. Reverse engineering by irradiation with light can be effectively prevented.

    Abstract: When resistivity against errors caused by cosmic ray neutrons in a semiconductor device is evaluated, the storage (120) in the evaluation apparatus stores multiple spectrum data of white neutrons having different spectrum shapes, and multiple SEE counts obtained by the white neutron method using this multiple spectrum data. A computing section (100) performs processing, with respect to each spectrum data, to read out the spectrum data from the storage, divide the data into multiple energy groups, calculates and stores a total flux of each energy group. Furthermore, the computing section reads out from the storage, the SEE counts with respect to each of the multiple spectrum data and the total flux of each energy group, substitutes the SEE counts and the total flux into a simultaneous equation, where a product of matrix elements indicating the total flux of each of the energy groups as to each of the multiple spectrum data and vectors indicating the SEE cross section of each of the energy groups represents the SEE count as to each of the multiple spectrum data, and calculates the SEE cross section for each of the energy groups. Subsequently, the computing section performs a calculation so that parameters are calculated, which determine a formula of the approximate function of the SEE cross section as a function of energy, so that computed values of error counts obtained by integration of multiple spectra and the approximate function sufficiently match the actual measured values thereof. With the processing as described above, there has been achieved an error evaluation in the semiconductor device using white neutrons independent from an accelerator.

    Abstract: The invention comprises: processing for receiving an OFDM packet having a preamble and the following data transmission symbol, in which packet the subcarrier interval of the preamble is set wider than that of the data transmission symbol; processing for estimating a DC offset occurring at a receiving side by using the received preamble; processing for correcting the DC offset on the received data transmission symbol, according to the estimation result of the DC offset; and processing for demodulating the DC offset corrected data transmission symbol. Thus, it is possible to estimate a DC offset and then correct the DC offset according to the estimated value, in the OFDM packet with no nul symbol defined there.

    Abstract: An electrically writable/erasable nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as an AND-type or NOR-type flash memory having an array structure, in which numerous memory cells are connected in parallel between common bit lines and source lines, is capable of readily detecting a memory cell in depletion failure which occurs in the event of a power supply cutoff during a memory cell threshold voltage shift-down operation by the writing or erasing operation. In operation, at the entry of a certain command or at the time of power-on, all word lines are unselected and bit line selecting switches are turned on to find the presence of a memory cell having a current flow due to depletion failure with sense amplifiers connected to the bit lines. On finding the presence of a failing cell, a voltage of selection level (VSS or negative voltage) is applied to each word line in turn, with remaining word lines being pulled to an unselection voltage level (negative voltage or VSS).

In the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the present invention, pnull type semiconductor region and pnull type field limiting rings are formed in a gate line area simultaneously in one impurity ion implantation step so as to bring them into contact with a groove having a gate extraction electrode formed therein. Upon formation, supposing that the width of the gate extraction electrode disposed outside the groove is CHSP, and the resistivity of the nnull type single crystal silicon layer 1B is null (nullnullcm), the CHSP is set to satisfy the following equation: CHSPnull3.80null0.148null.
