Abstract: Each memory cell of an EPROM contains two MOSFETs and a data of each memory cell is read out by detecting a current difference between the two MOSFETs by using a differential amplifier. In such constitution as described above, even when the data is erased by irradiating an ultraviolet ray, a stable output of the differential amplifier can be obtained and, therefore, confirmation of an initialized state can be facilitated. Specifically, a channel width WA of one of the two MOSFETs constituting the memory cell is formed narrower than a channel width WB of the other. By such arrangement as described above, in an initialized state in which the ultraviolet ray is irradiated, a data signal current value IHA of the MOSFET having the channel width WA becomes smaller than a data signal current value IHB flowing in the MOSFET having the channel width WB. Accordingly, the output of the differential amplifier is fixed in accordance with a current magnitude relation of IHA<IHB, to thereby define a data “0”.

Abstract: In a method of injection-molding a thermoplastic resin wherein a weld is formed in the mold cavity by the fusion of separate resin streams, use is made of a mold provided with a resin well protruding from the molded cavity or a runner on at least one of the separate resin streams at a point between where the injected molten resin is separated into streams and the weld. The resin is poured into the resin well after the formation of the weld from the feed of the molten resin into the mold cavity to cause migration of the resin at the weld, thus forcing the resin on one side of the weld into the resin of the other side of the weld to thereby strengthen the weld.
