Patent number: 7646642Abstract: The semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory, having a memory array containing 1-bit twin cells, each composed of electrically rewritable first and second storage devices, the first and second storage devices holding binary data according to difference of their threshold voltages, and having different retention characteristics depending on difference of the binary data thereof; a read circuit for differentially amplifying complementary data output from the first and second storage devices of the twin cell selected for read, and judging information stored in the twin cell; and a control circuit. Two memory cells constituting a twin cell are arranged to hold different data. Therefore, even when the retention performance of one memory cell deteriorates, the difference between data held by the two memory cells can be maintained. Hence, differential amplification of such difference enables acquisition of proper stored information.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Masamichi Fujito, Makoto Mizuno, Takahiro Yokoyama, Kenji Kawada, Takashi Iwase, Yasunobu Aoki, Takashi Kurafuji, Tomohiro Uchiyama, Shuichi Sato, Yuji Uji

Patent number: 7047102Abstract: An object of this invention is to generate NC (Numerical Control) data to improve efficiency of machining. This invention comprises the steps of: generating NC data to machine a first portion of an object, wherein the first portion is specified based on a supposed cutting load distribution of the object; and generating NC data to machine the object after the first portion of the object was machined. Thus, at least two-phase machining data is generated which is separated based on high or low of the supposed cutting load, for example. That is, a tool machine processes the object stepwise. Therefore, it becomes possible that a portion is machined in advance, that it is determined that it is better to machine beforehand based on the supposed cutting load distribution, and the object after the machining is separately machined.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2004Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Mitsuru Ikeda, Masahiro Nakatsuji, Kenji Kawada, Fusao Shibata
