  • Publication number: 20240014061
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a cassette housing includes a storage unit, a probe card, and a container. The storage unit stores a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of nonvolatile memory chips. The probe card includes a probe. The probe is configured to be brought into contact with a pad electrode provided on the semiconductor wafer. The container contains heat transfer fluid for lowering or raising temperature of one or both of the probe card and the semiconductor wafer stored in the storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20240014062
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, when a first case-mounted memory device that includes a first memory device is not connected to a slot of a host apparatus and is stored in a second stocker, the host apparatus causes a second transport device to transport the first case-mounted memory device to the slot, and to connect it thereto. When the first case-mounted memory device is not connected to the slot and is not stored in the second stocker, the host apparatus causes a first transport device to transport the first memory device from a first stocker to a mounter, causes the mounter to mount the first memory device in a case, and causes the second transport device to transport the first case-mounted memory device to the slot and to connect it thereto.

  • Publication number: 20230324455
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wafer includes a substrate including a first region and a second region that do not overlap each other; a first chip unit and a second chip unit each arranged on the substrate; a first electrode and a second electrode each electrically connected to the first chip unit; and a third electrode and a fourth electrode each electrically connected to the second chip unit. The first electrode and the third electrode are arranged in the first region. The second electrode and the fourth electrode are arranged in the second region. The first region is independent of a region in which the first chip unit and the second chip unit are provided.

  • Patent number: 7515473
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes: a memory cell array; a sense amplifier circuit for reading and writing data of the memory cell array page by page; a verify-judge circuit configured to judge write or erase completion based on the verify-read data held in the sense amplifier circuit; and data latches disposed for the respective columns in the memory cell array to be attached to the verify-judge circuit, into which column separation data are written to serve for excluding the corresponding columns from a verifying object, wherein the column separation data are automatically set in the data latches in an initial set-up mode at a power-on time so that at least a part of inaccessible columns for users are excluded from the verifying object.

  • Patent number: 7400531
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a page buffer, several memory cells to which data is written in accordance with write data stored in the page buffer, and an accumulating counter. The accumulating counter accumulates and stores a number of program loops spent for data write to several memory cells, and outputs the accumulated and stored number of program loops.
