Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device capable of realizing reduction in an SRAM unit cell area. Using as a standard configuration a parallel-type SRAM unit cell having each pair of load transistors (L1,L2), driver transistors (D1,D2) and transfer transistors (T1,T2), all or a part of the gate electrodes (51-54) and active regions (55-58) configuring at least any one of the pairs of the transistors, for example, the pair of the transfer transistors (T1,T2) are configured obliquely in a predetermined direction from the standard configuration. As a result, a size in a cell outside part including the driver transistor and the transfer transistor is reduced. At the same time, a distance between the load transistors in the central part is reduced as compared with that in the standard configuration. Thus, area reduction in the whole SRAM unit cell is realized.
Abstract:
A semiconductor chip is secured in a state deformed into a substantially cylinder shape by a coating material formed on its surface. The deformed semiconductor chip is flip-chip connected to an interposer and sealed with sealing resin onto the interposer. Solder balls are provided, as external terminals, on the other side of the interposer.
Abstract:
An image processor for lowering data transfer speed. A JPEG compression circuit (34) performs two-dimensional compression process on data (S1) output from a YCbCr conversion circuit (31) to generate compressed image data (S3). A timing signal generator (37) changes the frequency of a transfer clock signal (TCK) in accordance with the compressed image data (S3). An output circuit (36) outputs the compressed image data (ED) in accordance with the transfer clock signal (TCK).
Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate jig used for arranging a film on a semiconductor substrate, wherein said semiconductor substrate jig comprises a frame with a bottom, a set of plural annular members arranged concentrically within said frame and constructed so as to be individually movable in a direction perpendicular to said semiconductor substrate, wherein heights of said annular members in said direction perpendicular to said semiconductor substrate gradually increase from an outer circumference toward an inner circumference, a biasing member for biasing each of said annular members toward said bottom of said frame, and an operating member contacting said annular members by operating movement in said frame and provided for biasing in a direction separating said annular members from said bottom of said frame, against bias force of said biasing member. Each of said annular members is movable so as to gradually press and move said film arranged between said semiconductor substrate and said set of annular members toward said semiconductor substrate from center outward with said operating movement of said operating member.

A semiconductor substrate jig comprises: a first jig having a first suction mechanism sucking said semiconductor substrate and a second jig having a second suction mechanism sucking said semiconductor substrate, said first and second jigs being removably constructed and independently sucking said semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
A reconfigurable processor in which an application can be switched more freely. A switching condition associating section (2) associates output from a plurality of arithmetic and logic unit modules (1a, b, c, d) used as switching conditions for switching the operation of an arithmetic and logic unit group with a plurality of states indicative of switching condition codes. When a switching condition code output section (3) decides that a switching condition comes into existence on the basis of the output from the plurality of arithmetic and logic unit modules set as the switching conditions, the switching condition code output section (3) outputs a switching condition code corresponding to the switching condition which comes into existence. When a sequencer accepts the switching condition code, the sequencer switches the arithmetic and logic unit group to a state corresponding to the switching condition code.
Abstract:
A transceiver that reduces power consumption when data is transferred between devices in different modes. The transceiver is arranged in a first node (6) and in a second node (9), which communicate between each other. A first control unit (12) generates a first signal transmitted from the first node in predetermined time intervals during a first period that establishes an environment for communication between the first node and the second node. The second node transmits a second signal transmitted in response to the first signal. The first control unit generates a third signal upon detection of the second signal. A second control unit (13) gradually decreases amplitude of the first signal based on the third signal to set the amplitude of the first signal to a predetermined amplitude so that the second node is receivable of the first signal.
