Abstract:
A printed circuit board built-in type planar balun which can be easily incorporated in a printed circuit board without increasing the number of layers and lowering the functions thereof is provided. A balanced signal transmission line 1 and an unbalanced signal transmission line 2 are formed on a same plane, with the sides being opposed to each other. Dielectric layers 3 are provided between these transmission lines, and between the transmission line and a ground potential layer 4 which is arranged substantially parallel to the lines 1 and 2 and spaced at a predetermined distance.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device with an antenna including one or more antenna units for sending and receiving signals and a semiconductor element electrically connected to the antenna units, wherein the antenna units are formed by pressing or etching a thin metal sheet with substantially the same flat surface size as the semiconductor element, and the antenna units are integrally coupled to the surface of the semicondcutor element. The antenna units are formed in a plurality of layers separated by insulating layers, and the antenna units formed on the respective layers are connected electrically in series with each other.
Abstract:
An IC card includes an antenna formed as a flat coil wound several times having an inner vacant area, said antenna being made by punching or etching a thin metal strip and having an outermost loop partially connected to and supported by an outer frame of said thin metal strip, and said antenna having respective innermost and outermost terminals. A semiconductor element is electrically connected to said innermost and outermost terminals, respectively. One of said innermost and outermost terminals having an accommodation hole in which said semiconductor element is accommodated. The semiconductor element and the antenna are supported to maintain their form by a supporting material made of biodegradable resin.
Abstract:
In a memory cell array which is constituted with flash memory, a pair of a positive memory cell and a negative memory cell, to which data with mutually opposite values are written, is plurally provided. Bit lines and I/O lines connected to the memory cells of a data reading object are charged, and then a potential WL of a word line connected to the data reading object memory cells is raised. Hence, currents flow in the data reading object memory cells in accordance with the data that were written, and consequently one of a potential BL and a potential BLN of the I/O lines begins to fall. When one of the potentials BL and BLN falls below the circuit threshold of a sense amplifier, reading data is established, and the established reading data is outputted as a sense amplifier output signal SAOUT.
Abstract:
A memory macro includes a variable number of memory cell arrays and associated circuits, and peripheral circuit elements such as line drivers, power-source transistors, and power-source capacitors coupled to the associated circuits. Multiple peripheral circuit elements of one type are placed side by side in a certain direction, aligned in that direction with one or more memory cell arrays, and are coupled in parallel to the associated circuits of those memory cell arrays. The number of these peripheral circuit elements is selected according to the number of memory cell arrays aligned with them, so that electrical requirements can be met without unnecessary consumption of space or current.
Abstract:
A copper foil for use in making a printed wiring board and a copper clad laminate comprising the copper foil are herein disclosed and the copper foil is characterized in that a metal chromium layer is formed on at least one side of the copper foil by vapor deposition or characterized in that one side of the copper foil is supported by a carrier through a releasing layer and a metal chromium layer is formed on the other side of the foil by vapor deposition. The copper foil is excellent in the adhesion to various substrates (the peel strength between the substrate and the copper foil), moisture resistance, chemical resistance and heat resistance and therefore, the copper foil can suitably be used in the production of printed wiring boards.
Abstract:
To provide an electrodeposited copper foil with carrier, in which electrical connection holes such as through holes (PTH), interstitial via holes (IVH), and blind via holes (BVH) can be readily formed. The invention provides an electrodeposited copper foil with carrier comprising a carrier foil, an organic release interface layer formed on a surface of the carrier foil, and an electrodeposited copper foil layer deposited on the release interface layer, wherein copper microparticles are deposited on the surface of the carrier foil onto which the organic release interface layer and the electrodeposited copper layer are formed.
Abstract:
A corrosion-resistant article of a magnesium material having the gloss of the metal substrate surface comprises an anodic oxide film formed on the external surface of an article of magnesium or a magnesium alloy, which never changes the gloss of the metal substrate and a colorless or colored transparent electrodeposition coating film on the anodic film. Such an article can be prepared by immersing an article of magnesium or a magnesium alloy in an electrolyte containing a phosphate and an aluminate to thus form an anodic oxide film through anodization of the surface of the article and forming a colorless or colored transparent electrodeposition coating film on the anodic film through electrodeposition coating.
