Abstract: Performances of a semiconductor device are improved. The semiconductor device has: a gate electrode formed on an SOI layer of an SOI substrate via a gate insulating film having a charge storage film therein; an n-type semiconductor region and a p-type semiconductor region respectively formed on SOI layers on both sides of the gate electrode. A memory cell MC serving as a non-volatile memory cell is formed of the gate insulating film, the gate electrode, the n-type semiconductor region and the p-type semiconductor region.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a normally-on junction FET having a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode and a normally-off MOSFET having a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The source electrode of the junction FET is electrically connected to the drain electrode of the MOSFET, and the junction FET is thus connected to the MOSFET in series. The gate electrode of the junction FET is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the MOSFET.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing system which can increase resolution and which has excellent tracking with respect to the switching of a conversion range and is small in conversion error.

Abstract: To have a problem of occurrence of the same failure in failure detection of a microcontroller. A microcontroller has a CPU and a data access control circuit. The data access control circuit performs two types of accesses: an individual access in which a data access of the CPU is performed for each thread, and a shared access in which a data access of the CPU is performed by executing two threads. The data access control circuit detects a failure of the CPU by making a comparison between the command and the address, respectively, in the shared access generated by executing the two threads.

Abstract: To provide a technology capable of preventing the deterioration of the reliability of semiconductor devices caused by the gasification of a part of components of the material constituting a wiring substrate. A wiring layer constituting a circuit pattern is formed over each of the front and rear surfaces of a glass epoxy substrate, and after the formation of a solder resist covering the wiring layer while exposing a part of the wiring layer and prior to a heat treatment (first heat treatment) at 100° C. to 150° C. for dehumidification, a heat treatment (second heat treatment) at 160° C. to 230° C. for gasifying and discharging an organic solvent contained in the material constituting a wiring substrate is performed for the wiring substrate.
