  • Patent number: 11925922
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of improving the corrosion resistance of a metal substrate surface using an oxygen reduction catalyst, which may improve the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate surface by coating the metal substrate surface with the oxygen reduction catalyst so that the metal substrate surface is changed to a passive state through the action of the oxygen reduction catalyst in an environment in which a stable oxide layer is not spontaneously formed on the metal substrate surface. The present invention has an advantage in that it can dramatically improve the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate under a corrosive environment by allowing a recoverable oxide layer to be formed on the metal substrate surface through the action of the oxygen reduction catalyst, applied to the surface, even in an environment in which an oxide layer is not spontaneously formed on the metal substrate.

  • Patent number: 10768223
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a plurality of chips and a test pad. The plurality of chips may check parity bits of a plurality of pattern signals activated in units of specific bits and store test result signals generated by the checking of the parity bits. The plurality of chips may output an error detection signal when an error is detected from any of the test result signals. The test pad may output the error detection signal received from the plurality of chips to an external part. The plurality of chips may be commonly coupled to at least one connection line such that, when the error detection signal is output from at least one of the plurality of chips, the outputted error detection signal s output through the test pad.

  • Patent number: 9583161
    Abstract: A memory apparatus includes a first memory bank, a second memory bank, a row decoder and repair circuit, and an input/output driver controller. The row decoder and repair circuit is coupled to the first and second memory banks in common. The row decoder and repair circuit generates a shared repair signal according to whether a word line disposed in a first memory bank is replaced with a word line disposed in a second memory bank. The input/output driver controller allows read or write operations for one of the first and second memory banks to be performed based on the shared repair signal and an operation signal.
