Abstract: A semiconductor package substrate is provided, which can meet the move toward high integration of semiconductors. A nickel layer is plated on an electroplated copper foil to form a wiring pattern. An LSI chip is mounted on the copper foil, and terminals of the LSI chip and the wiring pattern are connected by wire bonding, followed by sealing with a semiconductor-sealing epoxy resin.

A solder resist is coated, and a pattern is formed in such a way that connecting terminal portions are exposed. Solder balls are placed at the exposed portions of the wiring pattern and are then fused. The wiring pattern is connected to an external printed board via the solder balls.

Abstract: A color image forming device produces a good image form, superior in color and gradation reproduction, and little over-enhancement in sharpness during generation duplicating. The device has an image processing parameter storage unit that stores parameters for processing which correspond to original document modes in respective processing blocks. An image processing parameter detector detects the original document mode, and provides the mode to the respective components as an original document mode directive TAG. When generation duplicating is designated, the generation duplicating mode corresponding to the set original document mode is set, and various parameter settings are indicated corresponding to the set generation duplicating mode in the image processing parameter storage unit. By such, the operation in each image processing module is converted to the set generation duplicating mode.
