Patent number: 10734374Abstract: An area of a semiconductor device having a FINFET can be reduced. The drain regions of an n-channel FINFET and a p-channel FINFET are extracted by two second local interconnects from a second Y gird between a gate electrode and a dummy gate adjacent thereto, to a third Y grid adjacent to the second Y gird. These second local interconnects are connected by a first local interconnect extending in the X direction in the third Y grid. According to such a cell layout, although the number of grids is increased by one because of the arrangement of the first local interconnect, the length in the X direction can be reduced. As a result, the cell area of the unit cell can be reduced while a space between the first and second local interconnects is secured.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Takeshi Okagaki, Koji Shibutani, Makoto Yabuuchi, Nobuhiro Tsuda

Publication number: 20130016829Abstract: There is provided a highly secure cryptographic processing apparatus and method where an analysis difficulty is increased. In a Feistel type common key block encrypting process in which an SPN type F function having a nonlinear conversion section and a linear conversion section is repeatedly executed a plurality of rounds. The linear conversion process of an F function corresponding to each of the plurality of rounds is performed as a linear conversion process which employs an MDS (Maximum Distance Separable) matrix, and a linear conversion process is carried out which employs a different MDS matrix at least at each of consecutive odd number rounds and consecutive even number rounds. This structure makes it possible to increase the minimum number (a robustness index against a differential attack in common key block encryption) of the active S box in the entire encrypting function.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Taizo Shirai, Koji Shibutani

Patent number: 5818776Abstract: When stored data of a plurality of memory cells (MC00 to MC03, MC10 to MC13, MC20 to MC23, MC30 to MC33) arranged in a matrix are sequentially read out, a reading access control circuit (101) outputs a row address and a column address to a row decoder (102) and a reading bit-line selector (103), respectively, for an access to the memory cells. The reading access control circuit (101) outputs the row address and the column address so that an n-type memory cell may be first selected by the reading bit-line selector (103) after activation of the selected reading word line every time one of the reading word lines (RWL0 to RWL3) is selected by the row decoder (102). With this configuration, data can be sequentially read out at higher speed from a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1997Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Shibutani, Hideshi Maeno
