  • Patent number: 8994401
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first input buffer adjusting a logic threshold voltage, a first replica circuit, a first reference voltage generating circuit, and a first comparator circuit. The first replica circuit is identical in circuit configuration to the first input buffer. The first replica circuit has an input and an output connected to the input. The first replica circuit generates the logic threshold voltage as an output voltage. The first reference voltage generating circuit generates a first reference voltage. The first comparator circuit compares the logic threshold voltage as an output voltage of the first replica circuit to the first reference voltage to generate a first threshold adjustment signal. The first comparator circuit supplies the first threshold adjustment signal to the first input buffer and the first replica circuit. The first threshold adjustment signal allows the first input buffer to adjust the logic threshold voltage.

  • Patent number: 5603158
    Abstract: An adhesive is applied onto a flexible resistive film 1 and dried to form an adhesive layer 2. A metal foil 3 is contacted onto the layer 2, which is subjected to a heat and pressing treatment. The foil 3 is polished. An ultraviolet light curable ink is applied on the foil 3 and dried to form a first layer 4. A negative film is placed on or over the layer 4 and ultraviolet light is irradiated thereto through the film so that the layer 4 is cured. Uncured portions of the layer 4 is removed so that cured portions thereof remain and the foil 3 is exposed between the remaining cured portions. The metal foil 3 is subjected to an etching treatment to remove exposed portions of the foil 3 so that unexposed portions of the foil 3 remain and form conductors 3A. The cured portions of the layer 4 is removed from the conductors 3A. A metal plating film 5 is formed on each conductor 3A to form each electrical conductive circuit 9.
