Seiichiro Tsukui 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: 5028986
    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.

  • Patent number: 4982265
    Abstract: In the present invention, memory chips are stuck together in stacked fashion by TAB (tape automated bonding), and a multiple memory chip and lead complex like an SOP (small out-line package) is formed of the chips and leads, whereby a memory module of high packaging density can be realized by a flat packaging technique.
