Abstract: To achieve a reduction in cost of a semiconductor device, in a common board (a wiring board), a plurality of bonding leads each extend toward the center of the board, and a solder resist film as a die bonding region supporting a minimum chip is coated with a die bonding material. With this, even when a first semiconductor chip as a large chip is mounted, wire bonding can be performed without causing the die bonding material to cover the bonding leads. Thus, development cost can be reduced to reduce the cost of the semiconductor device (LGA).

Abstract: To provide a structure of a semiconductor device that realizes an increase in a capacitor capacitance of a memory circuit to the maximum while inhibiting an increase in a contact resistance of a logic circuit, and a manufacture method thereof. When designating the number of layers of the local interconnect layers having wiring that makes up a logic circuit area as M and designating the number of layers of the local interconnect layers having wiring that makes up the memory circuit as N (M and N are natural numbers and satisfy M>N), capacitance elements are provided over the interconnect layers comprised of (M?N) layers or (M?N+1) layers.

Abstract: In a multipart SRAM memory cell of the present invention, an access transistor of a first port is disposed in a p-type well, and an access transistor of a second port is disposed in a p-type well. The gates of all of transistors disposed in a memory cell extend in the same direction. With the configuration, a semiconductor memory device having a low-power consumption type SRAM memory cell with an increased margin of variations in manufacturing, by which a bit line can be shortened in a multiport SRAM memory cell or an associative memory, can be obtained.

Abstract: A semiconductor storage device in accordance with an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix pattern, a plurality of word lines each provided so as to correspond to each line of the memory cells, a plurality of bit lines each connected to respective one of the memory cells, and a row selection circuit that, in a read operation, drives the word line to a set potential at a drive speed slower than a discharge speed of the bit line exhibited when the word line is raised roughly vertically to VDD.
