Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes first and second chips that are bonded together. The first chip includes a stacked body in which memory cells are formed and first bonding electrodes, and the second chip includes second bonding electrodes. The first bonding electrodes and the second bonding electrodes are joined to each other to form joining electrodes. The stacked body includes an insulating layer that extends in a first direction to separate the stacked body in a second direction. The joining electrodes include first and second joining electrodes, the first joining electrodes being disposed adjacent to a first side of the insulating layer in a third direction, and the second joining electrodes being disposed adjacent to a second side of the insulating layer in the third direction. The first joining electrodes and the second joining electrodes are disposed in a staggered arrangement in the second direction and the third direction.

Abstract: A method of treating a glass fiber-based prepreg for use in production of laminates, copper-clad laminates, multilayer printed wiring boards, or the like by heat treating a B-staged, glass fiber-based prepreg cut into a predetermined size with a far infrared ceramic heater to a temperature not higher than the softening point of a matrix resin of the prepreg for a short period of time.

Abstract: This invention provides a magneto-optic garnet grown by liquid phase epitaxy on a nonmagnetic garnet substrate and having a composition of the following formula (1)Ho.sub.x Tb.sub.y Bi.sub.3-x-y Fe.sub.5 O.sub.12 (1)wherein 0.3.ltoreq.y/x.ltoreq.1.0 and x+y<3.0.According to this invention there is provided a magneto-optic garnet as a Faraday rotator for use in an optical isolator, optical circulator, etc., utilizing Faraday effect, which has a very large Faraday rotation coefficient, a small difference in lattice constant from a nonmagnetic garnet substrate, exhibits a mirror face without causing a film defect (or so-called pit), and has a small temperature dependency.
