    Abstract: The invention facilitates to meet both of the mode of use that finds precedence in frequent rewrite to the nonvolatile memory and data retention during the power supply being cut off, and the mode of use that finds precedence in the data retention characteristic. The controller enables an information storage operation to the nonvolatile memory cells, by means of erase and write processing through boosting of the voltage applied to the nonvolatile memory cells and clamping of the boosted voltage, and performs a selection control that selects the application interval of the boosted voltage applied during the information storage operation and so forth. This selection control enables utilizing the nonvolatile memory cells as temporary rewrite areas, and facilitates to meet both of the mode of use that finds precedence in data retention during the power supply being cut off, and the mode of use that finds precedence in the data retention characteristic.

    Abstract: A layer comprising a second metal silicide as a major constituent element or a layer comprising a second metal as a major constituent element is formed simultaneously by one single chemical vapor deposition process to the bottom surface of two out of there groups of openings etched in a dielectric film on a substrate. A surface comprising silicon as a major constituent element is exposed at each bottom (nullthrough holes or local interconnection holesnull) of the first group of openings, a surface comprising a first metal silicide as a major constituent element is exposed at each bottom of the second group of openings, and a surface comprising a first metal as a major constituent element is exposed at each bottom of the third group of openings. The manufacturing method provides low contact resistance and sufficiently small junction leakage current from a diffusion layer in connection with plugs or local interconnections, even if the etched area of the openings are of different depths, shapes, or sizes.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus provided with a serial communication circuit achieving a baud rate adjustment with high precision is provided. For example, a bit width of each of a plurality of bits in received serial data is measured by a clock counter, and an average value of the bit width is calculated detecting its maximum value and minimum value. Moreover, for example, a maximum tolerance and a minimum tolerance are calculated as a value substantially 1.5 times the average value and a value substantially 0.5 times the average value, and determination is made as to whether or not the maximum value and the minimum value are within a range between the maximum tolerance and the minimum tolerance. If they are within the range, the corresponding average value is set in a baud rate setting register.

    Abstract: Power wastefully consumed in a memory in standby state is reduced without lowering the speed of operation of reading data out of the memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit has a memory which can enter active state or standby state, and the memory has voltage generation circuits for bit lines and source lines with which memory cells are connected. The voltage generation circuits make the potential of the bit lines and the potential of the source lines equal to each other in response to an instruction to transition from active state to standby state. The voltage generation circuits produce a potential difference between the bit lines and the source lines in response to an instruction to transition from standby state to active state. In standby state, the potential of the bit lines and that of the source lines are equal to each other. Therefore, sub-threshold leakage does not occur between the source and drain of each memory cell. In active state, the source line potential is not varied. Therefore, the speed of data readout operation is not lowered.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent secret information that is being internally processed from being inferred through operational information of a secured device, including the current consumption information. One solution is provided by an information processing device having at least a key generation apparatus that generates key data automatically, an encryption unit that encrypts data with the corresponding key data, a register that stores a plurality of encrypted data items with the corresponding encryption key data items, and an arithmetic unit that performs operations using data expressed with the corresponding encryption key data and new key data as the input, encrypts the operation result with new input key data, and outputs the result, thereby being capable of performing internal processing on an encrypted data expression. Accordingly, only encrypted data is transferred on the internal or external data bus line.
