Publication number: 20240096422Abstract: A first select transistor is connected to a first wiring. A first memory cell transistor and a second memory cell transistor are connected in series between the first select transistor and a second select transistor. A first word line is connected to the first memory cell transistor. A second word line is connected to the second memory cell transistor. During a first period in which the first voltage is applied to the first wiring, a second voltage lower than a first voltage is applied in parallel to the first word line and the second word line. During a second period in which a third voltage higher than the first voltage is applied to the first wiring, the second voltage is applied to the first word line, and a fourth voltage higher than the second voltage and lower than the third voltage is applied to the second word line.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Kioxia CorporationInventors: Hiroaki KOSAKO, Kota NISHIKAWA, Kenrou KIKUCHI

Patent number: 10391589Abstract: A flux applying device for applying flux to a surface of solder, wherein the flux applying device includes: a dipping means that applies the flux to the surface of the solder by dipping the solder into the flux; a load applying means that applies a predetermined load to the solder, the load applying means being provided at a upstream side of the dipping means; a constant speed conveying means that conveys the solder at a predetermined speed with being under load by the load applying means; a drying means that dries the solder to which the flux is applied; a cooling means that cools the dried solder; a conveying speed measurement means that measures a conveying speed of the solder; and a control means that controls the conveying speed of the solder.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Manabu Muraoka, Takeo Saitoh, Shigeyuki Sekine, Takashi Obayashi, Kaichi Tsuruta, Takashi Hagiwara, Hiroyuki Yamasaki, Kota Kikuchi, Naoto Kameda

Patent number: 10137538Abstract: In the flux applying device, a control portion controls conveying rollers or the like so that thickness of flux applied to solder is controlled. The winding roller rotates so that the solder is conveyed at the conveying speed. The drawing-out roller applies any load (back tension) to the solder backward along the conveying direction of the solder when drawing out the solder. The solder is conveyed at the predetermined speed and dipped into the flux tank containing flux. The solder is pulled up from the flux tank at the conveying speed vertically. By pulling up the solder from the flux tank at the constant conveying speed vertically, the interfacial tension acts on the solder 9a and the flux, so that the flux having a uniform thickness according to the conveying speed remains on the surface and back surface of the solder.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Manabu Muraoka, Takeo Saitoh, Shigeyuki Sekine, Takashi Obayashi, Kaichi Tsuruta, Takashi Hagiwara, Hiroyuki Yamasaki, Kota Kikuchi, Naoto Kameda

Patent number: 9956634Abstract: A hot-dip plating apparatus for plating a thin molten solder film can control a film thickness of a molten solder on a base material evenly and in increments of a few ?m and achieve a thin-film solder plating having a film thickness less than a conventional system. As shown in FIG. 1, this apparatus comprises a solder bath 17 of accommodating the molten solder 7; a second conveying section 23 for drawing up a strip member 31 from the solder bath; and a blower section 19 for blowing hot gas on the strip member 31 immediately after being drawn up from the solder bath by a second conveying section 23; the hot gas having a predetermined flow volume and a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the molten solder 7. According to this configuration, the excess molten solder 7 can be trimmed from the strip member 31 corresponding to composition of the molten solder 7.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isamu Sato, Koji Watanabe, Kota Kikuchi, Michio Suzuki, Naoto Kameda, Hideki Nakamura
