A low frequency oscillator includes a plurality of drum-shaped oscillators. Each of the drum-shaped oscillators is constructed so that a pair of disk-shaped flexural vibrators is attached on both open ends of a conductive cylinder so as to be arranged face to face.

A semiconductor memory of a Bi-CMOS construction is disclosed. The memory includes a plurality of cell blocks connected in common to a pair of main-bit lines. Each of the cell blocks includes a plurality of word lines, a pair of pre-bit lines, a plurality of memory cell each connected to one of the word lines and to the pre-bit lines, and a pair of bipolar transistors having the respective bases connected to the pre-bit lines and the respective collector-emitter current paths connected in series between the main-bit lines. One of the bipolar transistors is turned ON in response to data stored in a selected memory cell to discharge the associated main-bit line. The discharging of the pre-bit line and the main-bit line is thus carried out rapidly to increase data read operation speed.

Abstract:
A thermally stable semiconductor device is disclosed in which a thin aluminum film is formed over a silicon oxide film selectively formed on the silicon substrate. A layer of a metal such as tantalum, tungsten, or molybdenum that does not enter into an alloy reaction with silicon at heat treatment temperatures is formed over the thin aluminum film and is covered with a thick aluminum film. Oxides of the upper thick aluminum layer as well as oxides of the non-alloying metal and the lower aluminum layer are selectively formed in alignment with one another at locations where the electrodes are not formed.
