A method of making printed circuit board vias using a double drilling and plating method is disclosed. A first hole is drilled in a core, the first hole having a first diameter. The first hole is filled and/or plated with an electrically conductive material. A circuit pattern may be formed on one or two conductive layers of the core. A multilayer structure may then be formed including a plurality of cores that also include pre-drilled and plated via holes, wherein at least some of the pre-drilled and plated via holes are aligned with the first hole. A second hole is then drilled within the first hole and the aligned pre-drilled and plated holes, the second hole having a second diameter where the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. A conductive material is then plated to an inner surface of the second hole.

A method for driving a word line in a multi-value mask ROM comprises the consecutive steps of precharging the word line by a source potential, setting the word line at a first potential which is lower than the source potential and reading data from a selected memory cell, precharging the word line by the source potential, charging the word line at the second potential which is lower than the source potential and reading data from the selected memory cell, setting the word line at the source potential and reading data from the selected memory cell. The precharge of the word line reduces the read time for the multi-value mask ROM.
摘要:
A programming of memory cells in an upper block (UB) is reversely made, thereby obtaining reverse data which are opposite to desired data when the upper block (UB) is selected. An inverter circuit (IV) is additionally provided at an output of a sense amplifier (SA1) and inverts the reverse data, thus eventually obtaining the desired data. Having such configuration as to reduce the number of ON/OFF controllable memory cells, a semiconductor memory device which cuts power consumption is provided. Moreover, with OFF-state memory cells having such configuration as to suppress application of load (charge) capacity to bit lines and word lines as much as possible, the semiconductor memory device which ensures high-speed access to the memory cells is provided.
摘要:
For a nonvolatile multi-stage semiconductor memory device, a data reading sequence is given first, second, and third phases. During the first phase, a word line is driven to 2.25 V with a differential amplifier and a bias circuit activated to sense on or off of a selected memory cell. During the second phase, the word line is driven to 3.0 V with a differential amplifier and a bias circuit activated to sense on or off of the selected memory cell. This enables correct read out with a low operating voltage, such as 3.0 V, of data stored in semiconductor memory cells with a selected one of four threshold levels given to each datum. During the third phase, it is possible to use the differential amplifier and the bias circuit which are used during the first phase. Use of one differential amplifier alone is possible with two bias circuits used. Use of only first and second phases is also possible.
摘要:
A mask-programmable read only memory bit cell (16) has a pair of conductive elements for each conductive layer in the integrated device but the last layer (30 and 34, 38 and 42, 46 and 50) and single conductive element in the last layer (54). The first and second elements in the first pair of elements receive a first and a second voltage supply (V.sub.DD and V.sub.GND), respectively. The single element outputs a voltage corresponding to the logic state stored by the bit cell. A plurality of pairs of conductive vias couple particular ones of the elements in each layer to particular ones of the elements in adjacent layers. The logic state stored by the bit cell may be reversed by reversing the connection of any one pair of elements and its associated vias. This makes the bit cell suitable for use in a processor version register.
