Abstract: A semiconductor device, wherein the lowering, in comparison with a background art, of the resistance of a source line is achieved and a manufacturing method for the same are obtained. A protruding portion (2m) that protrudes in the Y direction towards each drain region (3m) from a trunk portion (1) is formed in a source line (SLa) in each of five memory cells corresponding to “1” of the ROM code from among eight memory cells belonging to the m-th row. In the same manner, a protruding portion (2n) that protrudes in the Y direction towards each drain region (3n) from the trunk portion (1) is formed in the source line (SLa) in each of four memory cells corresponding to “1” of the ROM code from among eight memory cells belonging to the n-th row.

Abstract: A socket for semiconductor package in which most portion of a package side electrode portion of a contact pin has an inclined portion inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical direction, and when a land grid array package is received in a housing, a contact end of the package side electrode portion abuts on the land electrode within the area of the land electrode, and when the land grid array package is lowered, the contact end slides on the surface of the land electrode to remove foreign matters adhering to the land electrode to thereby put the contact end into contact with the land electrode at a good contact pressure.

Abstract: A digital demodulator includes a demodulation section, a peripheral equipment control section, a main control section, and a discrimination section. When the peripheral equipment control section performs receives a control signal from the main control section, it controls the peripheral equipment. The discrimination section determines whether the control signal is related to control of the demodulation section. When the control is related to control of the demodulation section, the discrimination section transmits the control signal, corresponding to the control that the peripheral equipment control section performs, to the demodulation section.

Abstract: An image reproduction apparatus which converts a sampling frequency from a first frequency to a second frequency, performs interfield interpolation at a third frequency, and converts the sampling frequency from the third frequency to the first frequency, wherein the interfield-interpolation is performed at the first frequency between signals one field apart from each other. The apparatus also converts a number of vertical scanning lines to convert a high definition TV signal of the MUSE format to a signal of NTSC format, sets a scanning period used in the vertical scanning line conversion, and generates a coefficient used in the vertical scanning line conversion.
