Patent number: 11977099Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which probes and the layout of the electrode pads of a test element group (TEG) are associated is provided. As a semiconductor device is miniaturized, a scribe area on a wafer also tends to decrease. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the size of a TEG arranged in the scribe area, and efficiently arrange an electrode pad for probe contact. Thus, it is necessary to associate the probes and the layout of the electrode pad. According to the method, a layout of a TEG electrode pad corresponding to a plurality of probes arranged in a fan shape or probes manufactured by Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Hitachi High-Tech CorporationInventors: Tomohisa Ohtaki, Takayuki Mizuno, Ryo Hirano, Toru Fujimura, Shigehiko Kato, Yasuhiko Nara, Katsuo Ohki, Akira Kageyama, Masaaki Komori

Patent number: 8780616Abstract: A magnetic memory system includes a superconductor circuit and one or more magnetic memory elements to store data. To write data, a driver circuit in the superconductor circuit generates a magnetic signal for transmission over a superconductor link extending between the superconductor circuit and the magnetic memory element. To read data, a sensing circuit in the superconductor circuit monitors a superconductor link extending from sensing circuit to the magnetic memory element. The magnetic memory element can be a spin-transfer type magnetic memory element.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignees: Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp., New York UniversityInventors: Thomas Akira Ohki, Andrew Kent

Patent number: 7876002Abstract: An actuator in which, when a supporting shaft, where a mirror (control object) is provided, is tilted by receiving an electromagnetic force of a magnetic driving mechanism, small balls of a supporting mechanism move in an axial direction in a space provided between an outer base and an inner ring member. Therefore, the supporting shaft and the inner ring member holding the supporting shaft swing. At this time, since the inner ring member swings around a rotational fulcrum as center, the supporting shaft can swing around one rotational fulcrum as center at all times. A plurality of laid members serving as a rotation restricting member prevent rotation of the supporting shaft in a direction around the axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Someno, Takuya Nagai, Akira Ohki, Ikutaro Inoue

Patent number: 5426042Abstract: A BOD analyzer is prepared having a microbe sensor containing an oxygen electrode and a microbe membrane. The microbe membrane is made by immobilizing microorganisms belonging to the genus Klebsiella in the membrane. Specifically, the BOD analyzer has a flow cell equipped with a microbe sensor containing an oxygen electrode and a microbe membrane, and a liquid passage which is connected with an entrance of the flow cell and which is equipped with an outlet. The microbe membrane is made by immobilizing microorganisms belonging to Klebsiella oxytoca 12092 strain in a porous hydrophilic membrane having an average pore size of 0.65-3 .mu.m in diameter by using at least one gelating agent selected from alginic acid or salts thereof, agar, gellan gum, xathane gum, gelatine, carageenan, locust bean gum, methylcellulose, pectin, or pullulan. The BOD analyzer can be used for batch or continuous BOD analysis and enables carrying out BOD analysis in a short period of time.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1994Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Assignee: Nakano Vinegar Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeru Maeda, Akira Ohki, Takeshi Sato, Naho Kato, Hirofumi Akano, Yoshiya Kawamura, Keizo Hatagaki, Yasushi Takahashi, Mikio Yamada, Hajime Okumura
