  • Publication number: 20240355404
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes an error bit detection unit and a bit counting unit. The error bit detection unit detects whether each bit in read data and each bit in expected data of the semiconductor memory device are consistent, and outputs the error bit data indicating pass/error information. The pass/error information indicates whether each detected bit is consistent. The bit counting unit counts the number of error bits in the error bit data indicating an inconsistency between the read data and the expected data, or counts the number of pass bits in the error bit data indicating consistency between the read data and the expected data. Furthermore, the semiconductor memory device also includes an interface for a read operation to input external expected values and an interface for the read operation interfaces to output the number of error bits or pass bits instead of the read data.

  • Patent number: 11225729
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a SiC single crystal reducing crystallinity degradation at a wafer central portion wherein a growth container surrounds a heat-insulating material with a top temperature measurement hole, a seed crystal substrate at an upper portion inside the container, and a silicon carbide raw material at a lower portion of the container and sublimated to grow a SiC single crystal on the seed crystal substrate. A center position hole deviates from a center position of the seed crystal substrate and moves to the periphery side of the center of the seed crystal substrate. A SiC single crystal substrate surface is tilted by a {0001} plane and used as the seed crystal substrate. The SiC single crystal grows with the seed crystal substrate directed to a normal vector of the seed crystal substrate basal plane parallel to the main surface and identical to the hole in a cross-sectional view.
