Haruo Ii has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5805513
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided which includes a substrate arrangement which is suitable for forming a large number of types of DRAMs having different package specifications, different bit structure and different operating modes. In conjunction with this, the bonding pads are arranged at optimum locations for accommodating the different package types. Various layout arrangements are also provided to minimize space and to improve access time. Additional features are provided, including improved output buffer circuitry, protection circuitry and testing methods to facilitate operation of the semiconductor memory device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5677092
    Abstract: When the data of a mask pattern of a phase shift mask is to be made, the pattern data is separated into a real pattern data layer having the data of real patterns and a phase shift pattern data layer having the data of phase shift patterns. After this, it is verified whether or not the mask pattern satisfies the regulation of the gap of in-phase patterns, in which lights having transmitted through patterns adjacent to each other are in phase. It is also verified whether or not the mask pattern satisfies the regulation of the gap of out-of-phase patterns, in which lights having transmitted through patterns adjacent to each other are out of phase.
