There is provided a semiconductor device adopting, as a layout of pads connected to an external package on an LSI, a zigzag pad layout in which the pads are arranged shifted alternately, which can avoid occurrences of short-circuiting of wires, an increase in chip size due to avoidance of short-circuiting, propagation of power supply or GND noise due to reduction in IO cell interval, and signal transmission delay difference due to displacement of pad positions. In a semiconductor device wherein plural pads on a semiconductor element which are connected to function terminals on an external package are arranged in two lines along the periphery of the semiconductor element, an arrangement order of the plural pads on the semiconductor element is different from an arrangement order of the function terminals on the external package.

A contact structure is formed with no voids in an interlayer insulation film and good surface planarity. A first insulation film (21) formed of p-TEOS is deposited to cover a substrate (1) and wires (4) formed on the substrate (1). A second insulation film (22) which is coating glass is formed by SOG. The surface is etched back from the opposite side to the substrate (1); therefore, the second insulation film (22) is etched. The etching is stopped at the point where the surface (21a) of the first insulation film (21) on the wires (4) is exposed. This ensures good surface,planarity. A third insulation film (23) is stacked on top of the second insulation film (22), and portions of the third insulation film (23) above the wires (4) are isotropically etched to form openings (51). At this time, the isotropic etching does not extend over the second insulation film (22).

A data processor according to the present invention executes instructions described in first and second instruction formats. The first instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a predetermined size, while the second instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a size larger than that of the register-addressing field defined by the first instruction format. The data processor includes: instruction-type identifier, responsive to an instruction, for identifying the received instruction as being described in the first or second instruction format by the instruction itself; a first register file including a plurality of registers; and a second register file also including a plurality of registers, the number of the registers included in the second register file being larger than that of the registers included in the first register file. If the instruction-type identifier has identified the received instruction as being described in the first instruction format, the data processor executes the instruction using data held in the first register file. On the other hand, if the instruction-type identifier has identified the received instruction as being described in the second instruction format, the data processor executes the instruction using data held in the second register file.

On a silicon oxide film including the interior of an opening a semispherical RGP film is deposited. At a temperature lower than that allowing a crystal of silicon to be grown a BPTEOS film is deposited to fill the opening. Then a portion other than the semispherical RGP film introduced in the opening is chemically mechanically polished and thus removed. This contributes to reduced crystal growth of silicon at the semispherical RGP film and hence reduced scattering and/or removal of the RGP film for example when a CMP step is performed. Subsequently the semispherical RGP film is annealed to grow a crystal of silicon to form a generally spherical RGP film. Thus a storage node can have an increased surface area and a capacitor can have increased capacity.

In a semiconductor device, an active region is formed in a semiconductor substrate separated by a plurality of isolation regions. A plurality of surface insulating films of different thickness are formed separately on the active region. A plurality of conductive films are formed on the respective insulating films. Then, one of the surface insulating film having smaller thickness is caused to break down to work as an electric fuse.

This invention relates to a video signal processing circuit for easily simultaneously performing conversion of the number of lines and format conversion with a simple construction and an image pickup apparatus such as CCD using the circuit. A signal in a 4:2:2 format is supplied to a linear interpolating unit. Input luminance signals and input color difference signals of one line are written into line memories and the input luminance signals and the input color difference signals of the next one line are written into other memories. Similarly, signals are alternately written. The input luminance signal is read twice from the above memories in a period of writing signals of one line. The obtained signals are multiplied by coefficients for linear interpolation, respectively, and the resultant signals are added, thereby generating a luminance signal to be outputted. At the occasion of reading the input luminance signal twice, the input color difference signal is read once from the above memories and multiplied by each of coefficients, and the resultant signals are added, thereby generating a color difference signal to be outputted. A writing/reading control of a signal to/from memories and setting of the coefficients are performed by an interpolation control unit. Thus, the number of lines can be changed in a real time manner and the signal can be converted into a signal in a 4:2:0 format.
