  • Publication number: 20240088152
    Abstract: A semiconductor device of an embodiment includes N-wells and P-wells extending in a first direction and alternately arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a dummy gate formed above the N-wells and the P-wells so as to extend across at least one boundary between an N-well and a P-well that are adjacent to each other, the dummy gate being not connected to a wire, in which the dummy gate is formed in a region other than an end portion in the first direction of, among the N-wells and the P-wells, a well that has a width smaller than a predetermined threshold in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20240006343
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface, a second surface facing the first surface, and an outline, and an impurity region located on a side of the first surface in the semiconductor substrate. The second surface has a plurality of concave portions, and each of the plurality of concave portions open toward a side opposite to the first surface and extend along a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the semiconductor substrate is susceptible to warping most.

  • Patent number: 5930470
    Abstract: A target CPU executes a user program in synchronism with an asynchronous operation clock signal at higher speed than an operation clock signal of a debugging object system. A control unit portion outputs address bus information, data bus information, and machine cycle information in operation. A POD portion generates various control signals of the debugging object system based on the machine cycle information and then the address bus information, the data bus information, and the machine cycle information to the debugging object system in synchronism with an operation clock signal of the debugging object system. Collection, output, or process of debugging information can thus be executed by use of difference in execution times of the user program between the debugging object system and the target CPU, without halting the debugging object system.
