Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for detecting a part reduced in thickness of a substrate of an IC chip. SOLUTION: This device for detecting a part reduced in thickness of a substrate of an IC chip includes, in an active region of the substrate, a plurality of resistors connected as a Wheatstone bridge and dispersed in a rod shape; a first pair of facing resistors of the bridge are directed in a first direction; a second pair of facing resistors of the bridge are directed in a second direction; and the first and second directions are directions for changing an imbalance value of the bridge by parts of the substrate reduced in thickness.

Abstract:
A non-volatile memory including at least first and second memory cells each including a storage MOS transistor with dual gates and an insulation layer provided between the two gates. The insulation layer of the storage transistor of the second memory cell includes at least one portion that is less insulating than the insulation layer of the storage transistor of the first memory cell.
