Ikuo NAKAMATSU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10121735
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes active fins on a substrate. Gate lines each extend in the second direction on the active fins. A contact plug is positioned on the active fins. A first via is in one of the first contact plugs. A first conductive line overlaps a first via. A first distance from a first active fin on which a first gate line of the gate lines is formed to an end of the first gate line is more than a predetermined distance. A second distance from a second active fin on which the first gate line is formed to the first active fin of the active fins is equal to or less than the predetermined distance. The second active fin is spaced apart from the first contact plugs to not overlap the first contact plugs.

  • Publication number: 20080160686
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a field effect transistor (FET), contact plugs, a resistive element (specific member) and interconnects. Contact plugs are connected to the FET. A resistive element is provided in the layer (lowermost layer of interconnect layer) that also includes the contact plug. The contact plug and the resistive element are formed of the same material. Portions of the upper surface of the resistive element are connected to the interconnects.
