Publication number: 20230421379Abstract: A face authentication terminal generates a first biometric secret key from a face image of a person captured at a first timing when the person is detected by at least one of a camera and a thermal sensor. The face authentication terminal generates a second biometric secret key from the face image of the person captured at a second timing different from the first timing, generates a biometric public key based on the second biometric secret key, and sends the biometric public key to an authentication server to request biometric public key registration. The authentication server verifies whether the authentication is successful or not using the first biometric secret key and the biometric public key sent to the authentication server, and when the authentication is verified to be successful, the biometric public key registration is completed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Yuichi MATSUI, Norimoto ICHIKAWA

Publication number: 20150214476Abstract: Manufacturing processes for phase change memory have suffered from the problem of chalcogenide material being susceptible to delamination, since this material exhibits low adhesion to high melting point metals and silicon oxide films. Furthermore, chalcogenide material has low thermal stability and hence tends to sublime during the manufacturing process of phase change memory. According to the present invention, conductive or insulative adhesive layers are formed over and under the chalcogenide material layer to enhance its delamination strength. Further, a protective film made up of a nitride film is formed on the sidewalls of the chalcogenide material layer to prevent sublimation of the chalcogenide material layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2015Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Yuichi Matsui, Nozomu Matsuzaki, Norikatsu Takaura, Naoki Yamamoto, Hideyuki Matsuoka, Tomio Iwasaki

Patent number: 8618523Abstract: On an insulating film (41) in which a plug (43) as a lower electrode is embedded, a laminated layer pattern of an insulating film (51) made of tantalum oxide, a recording layer (52) made of Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced and an upper electrode film (53) made of tungsten or tungsten alloy is formed, thereby forming a phase change memory. By interposing the insulating film (51) between the recording layer (52) and the plug (43), an effect of reducing programming current of a phase change memory and an effect of preventing peeling of the recording layer (52) can be achieved. Further, by using the Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced as the recording layer (52), the difference in work function between the insulating film (51) and the recording layer (52) is increased, and the programming voltage of the phase change memory can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Norikatsu Takaura, Yuichi Matsui, Motoyasu Terao, Yoshihisa Fujisaki, Nozomu Matsuzaki, Kenzo Kurotsuchi, Takahiro Morikawa

Patent number: 8106441Abstract: A memory cell capacitor (C3) of a DRAM is formed by use of a MIM capacitor which uses as its electrode a metal wiring line of the same layer (M3) as metal wiring lines within a logic circuit (LOGIC), thereby enabling reduction of process costs. Higher integration is achievable by forming the capacitor using a high dielectric constant material and disposing it above a wiring layer in which bit lines (BL) are formed. In addition, using 2T cells makes it possible to provide a sufficient signal amount even when letting them operate with a low voltage. By commonizing the processes for fabricating capacitors in analog (ANALOG) and memory (MEM), it is possible to realize a semiconductor integrated circuit with the logic, analog and memory mounted together on one chip at low costs.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Satoru Akiyama, Takao Watanabe, Yuichi Matsui, Masahiko Hiratani

Publication number: 20110215288Abstract: Since a chalcogenide material has low adhesion to a silicon oxide film, there is a problem in that it tends to separate from the film during the manufacturing step of a phase change memory. In addition, since the chalcogenide material has to be heated to its melting point or higher during resetting (amorphization) of the phase change memory, there is a problem of requiring extremely large rewriting current. An interfacial layer includes an extremely thin insulator or semiconductor having the function as both an adhesive layer and a high resistance layer (thermal resistance layer) is inserted between chalcogenide material layer/interlayer insulative film and between chalcogenide material layer/plug.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2011Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Yuichi MATSUI, Tomio IWASAKI, Norikatsu TAKAURA, Kenzo KUROTSUCHI

Publication number: 20110049454Abstract: In a phase-change memory, an interface layer is inserted between a chalcogenide material layer and a plug. The interface layer is arranged so as not to cover the entire interface of a plug-like electrode. When the plug is formed at an upper part than the chalcogenide layer, the degree of integration is increased. The interface layer is formed by carrying out sputtering using an oxide target, or, by forming a metal film by carrying out sputtering using a metal target followed by oxidizing the metal film in an oxidation atmosphere such as oxygen radical, oxygen plasma, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2006Publication date: March 3, 2011Inventors: Motoyasu Terao, Yuichi Matsui, Tsuyoshi Koga, Nozomu Matsuzaki, Norikatsu Takaura, Yoshihisa Fujisaki, Kenzo Kurotsuchi, Takahiro Morikawa, Yoshitaka Sasago, Junko Ushiyama, Akemi Hirotsune
