The invention provides an aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing that can limit scratches of a specific size to a specific number, even with interlayer insulating films with small elastic moduli (silsesquioxane, fluorine-containing SiO2, polyimide-based resins, and the like.). When using the aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing of an interlayer insulating film with an elastic modulus of no greater than 20 GPa as measured by the nanoindentation method, the number of scratches with a maximum length of 1 μm or greater is an average of no more than 5 per unit area of 0.01 mm2 of the polishing surface. An aqueous dispersion for CMP or an aqueous dispersion for interlayer insulating film CMP according to another aspect of the invention contains a scratch inhibitor agent and an abrasive. The scratch inhibitor may be biphenol, bipyridyl, 2-vinylpyridine, salicylaldoxime, o-phenylenediamine, catechol, 7-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3,4-triazaindolizine, and the like. The abrasive may consist of inorganic particles, organic particles or organic/inorganic composite particles. The organic/inorganic composite particles may be formed by polycondensation of an alkoxysilane, aluminum alkoxide, titanium alkoxide, and the like in the presence of polymer particles of polystyrene or the like, and bonding of polysiloxane, and the like, on at least the surface of the polymer particles.

An encoding device in a data transmission/reception system includes a first convolutional encoder that encodes an outer code, an interleaver that permutes input data, a second convolutional encoder that encodes an inner code, and a muti-level modulation mapping circuit that performs signal-point mapping based on eight-phase shift keying. When the encoding device uses the second convolutional encoder having two or more memories, the first convolutional encoder uses, as the outer code, a code with a minimum output distance greater than the maximum input distance at which the minimum-distance inner code is generated.

The object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous dispersion that can give the required properties for a wide range of uses including electronic materials, magnetic materials, optical materials and polishing materials, and to provide an aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP slurry) that gives an adequate polishing rate without creating scratches in polishing surfaces. Another object of the present invention is, to provide a method for manufacture of semiconductor devices using a CMP slurry that can control progressive erosion due to scratches and the like during polishing and that can achieve efficient flattening of working films, and to provide a method for formation of embedded wiring. The aqueous dispersion or CMP slurry of the present invention contains polymer particles made of thermoplastic resins or the like, and inorganic particles made of alumina, silica or the like, wherein the zeta potentials of the polymer particles and inorganic particles are of opposite signs, and they are bonded by electrostatic force to form aggregates as composite particles. The aggregates are subjected to ultrasonic wave irradiation or shear stress with a homogenizer to give more uniformly dispersed composite particles.

This invention relates to a memory apparatus or the like adaptable to a multi-value recording flash memory and others. A flash memory 10 is designed for 16-value (4-bit) recording. For a write operation, the encoder (12) converts input data Din into an abbreviated Reed-Solomon code to provide write data WD. The converter (13) converts the write data WD into four-bit parallel data. The converted data are fed and written to the each memory cell constituting cell arrays (11) successively. For a read operation, the converter (14) converts read data RD from the cell arrays (11) into one-byte (8-bit) parallel data and supplies the converted data to the decoder (15) for error correction in units of bytes, whereby output data Dout is obtained. Since the Reed-Solomon code is used, sufficient performance with a limited number of errors to be corrected can be obtained.

Three dual-port RAMs of the number of bits=8 and the number of words=4 are provided in a path memory circuit. Path selection information is sequentially written into the three RAMs every clock in accordance with the control of a control circuit. On the other hand, the path selection information is read out every clock from the RAMs in accordance with the control of the control circuit and is inputted as read path selection information or the like to a tracing circuit. The tracing circuit executes the tracing operation as many as three times on the basis of the read path selection information and trace starting state information which is formed by the control circuit. On the basis of a tracing result, the decoding data and a trace starting state in the subsequent clock are obtained.
