  • Patent number: 10627788
    Abstract: A retrieval apparatus includes a processor and a memory and retrieves a condition given to a semiconductor treatment apparatus. The processor receives a processing result of a semiconductor, a condition corresponding to the processing result, a target value for treating the semiconductor, and a retrieval region. A prediction model is generated indicating a relationship between the condition and the processing result based on a set value of the condition in the retrieval region, and the processing result; calculates a predicted value, performs a demonstration test, acquires an actually measured value, outputs the predicted value as a set value when the actually measured value reaches the target value. When the actually measured value does not reach the target value, the prediction model is updated by applying the predicted value and the actually measured value to the set value and the processing result, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6646918
    Abstract: A level shifter (1) that may provide a relatively high-speed operation in a level shifting mode and a non-level shifting mode has been disclosed. Level shifter (1) may include a transistor (P101) providing a controllable current path between a voltage terminal (3) and an output signal (TOUT) based on the logic level of an input signal (IN). Series connected transistors (P104 and P105) may provide a controllable current path between voltage terminal (3) and output signal (TOUT) based on the logic level of an input signal (IN). Transistor (P105) may be enabled in a Vcc mode and may be disabled in a Vpp mode. In this way, an equivalent transistor width (WT) may be adjusted in accordance with a mode of operation and a transition time of output signal (TOUT) may be improved.

  • Patent number: 6368895
    Abstract: An electronic circuit device is provided which can avoid unnecessary spreading of a sealing resin and on which components can be mounted at a high mounting density. An enclosure for preventing the resin from flowing outside its intended boundaries and having a larger size than a chip in a chip mounting area of a circuit board is formed. The chip is mounted in a face-down orientation in the chip mounting area enclosed by the enclosure. A sealing resin is cast through a gate for casting a resin and introduced into the gap between the chip and the circuit board. It can be judged whether the charging of the resin has been completed or not, by checking the flowing of the resin into the groove.

  • Patent number: 6252780
    Abstract: Semiconductor chips, such as photosensor arrays in a full-width scanner, are mounted on printed wiring boards. The printed wiring boards are in turn mounted on a second layer of printed wiring board material. The two layers of printed wiring board material are attached so that the seams between adjacent printed wiring boards in each layer alternate in a brick-like fashion. This structure enables arrays of semiconductor chips to be constructed in relatively long lengths, with minimal risk of damage caused by thermal stresses.
