Patents by Inventor Kohji Nagaoka

Kohji Nagaoka 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).

  • Stacked semiconductor memory device and semiconductor memory module containing the same
    Patent number: 5334875
    Abstract: There is a trend to increase that area of a device requiring a memory of large capacity, which is occupied by a semiconductor memory. This trend obstructs reduction of the size of the device. The present invention contemplates to provide a memory which can have a high integration, a high density and a large capacity while minimizing the mounting area. In order to achieve this memory, the TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) of the prior art is mounted on an electrically conductive connector, and a plurality of structures composed of the TAB and the connector are stacked. Moreover, the connector mounting the TAB thereon is constructed such that the independent terminals of the stacked TABs may not be shorted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 1993
    Date of Patent: August 2, 1994
    Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Tobu Semiconductor, Ltd.
    Inventors: Toshio Sugano, Kohji Nagaoka, Seiichiro Tsukui, Yoshiaki Wakashima, Michio Tanimoto, Masayuki Watanabe, Suguru Sakaguchi, Kunihiko Nishi, Aizo Kaneda, Kohji Serizawa, Michiharu Honda, Tohru Yoshida, Takeshi Komaru, Atsushi Nakamura
