  • Patent number: 9159681
    Abstract: A semiconductor device which uses a semiconductor chip originally designed for flip chip bonding and is assembled by a wire bonding process to reduce the cost of assembling a semiconductor product. A second electrode pad group and a fourth electrode pad group are located in the central area of the semiconductor chip and a first electrode pad group and a third electrode pad group are located adjacently to the two long sides of the semiconductor chip. The electrode pads of each electrode group are electrically coupled with a plurality of conductive wires. The layouts of the wiring layers formed in an interconnection substrate are modified so that the wire-bonded semiconductor device is the same as a flip-chip-bonded semiconductor device in terms of the positions of input/output signals.

  • Patent number: 7066164
    Abstract: The present invention has been realized in order to keep the cylinder exhaust temperature of a gas engine within a predetermined range, and thereby prevent the generation of misfire and knocking. In the present invention, in S1, when the number of rotations of the engine is greater than a predetermined number, in S2, the exhaust temperatures of the cylinders are sampled at predetermined intervals, in S3, an average of the exhaust temperatures is calculated, in S4, the load factor at that point is determined, in S5, the average exhaust temperature Tave is compared with the exhaust temperature T(n) of each cylinder, and it is determined whether the deviation ?Tn is greater or smaller than the set deviation Tlimit for that load factor. When the deviation ?Tn is smaller, the exhaust temperature is within the set deviation and there is no need to adjust the fuel spray period, and therefore the sequence returns to S2.

  • Patent number: 6958532
    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device enables various plural memories to be mounted on the same package, and even though size of respective chips and/or position of bonding pad are different, it is capable of providing a stack MCP in which the chips are superimposed. It causes wiring sheet to intervene between an upper chip and a lower chip. There are provided bonding pads and a wiring pattern for connecting these bonding pads in the wiring sheet. A bonding pad of the upper chip is connected to the bonding pad by a first bonding wire, while the bonding pad is connected to a bonding pad of the package substrate by a second bonding wire. According to this construction, the signal from the upper chip is transmitted to the package substrate via the wiring sheet.

  • Patent number: 5808936
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory includes a matrix array of nonvolatile memory cells arranged in rows and columns, ones of the memory cells arranged in rows being connected to word lines and ones of the memory cells arranged in columns being connected to bit lines. A selection logic circuitry receives programming data and produces a row selection signal and a column selection signal. A row decoder is responsive to the row selection signal for selecting one of the word lines, and a column decoder is responsive to the column selection signal for selecting at least one of the bit lines. When the nonvolatile memory is programmed, the programming data is supplied to the selection logic circuitry, and a write-in voltage is supplied to the row decoder for a period that is inversely variable with the write-in voltage so that hot electrons are trapped in the memory cell which is connected to the selected bit line as well as to the selected word line.
