An image pickup apparatus includes an image-pickup optical system, three color separation prisms separating incident light guided by the image-pickup optical system into three-primary-color light components and emitting the light components, and three image pickup elements respectively receiving the three light components from the prisms so as to produce respective image signals. Of the three prisms, a first prism that first receives the incident light has an edge extending parallel to an incidence plane. The image-pickup optical system has a plate-like fixed aperture stop disposed between the first prism and a final lens, disposed closest to the first prism, of multiple lenses included in the image-pickup optical system. The fixed aperture stop has an aperture that limits the incident light. An edge section of the aperture has projections and depressions arranged at least in parallel to the edge, as viewed from an optical-axis direction of the final lens.

A flip chip semiconductor device has a cell forming layer assigned to macro-cells and input and output cells and a pad forming layer assigned to power supply pads for the macro-cells and input and output cells and signal pads for the input and output cells, and the signal pads are arranged outside of the power supply pads, whereby a package substrate to be assembled with the flip chip semiconductor device is simplified by virtue of the signal lines on a level with the signal pads, because any power supply pad is not an obstacle against the signal lines.

A method for producing a stable control signal for impedance matching is provided which is capable of suppressing variation in impedance matching data by adding a shift voltage to a voltage to be compared. A comparator compares the voltage to be compared with a reference voltage and an up-down counter performs a counting operation according to a result from the comparison. A code converting circuit converts a count value output from the up-down counter to a thermometer code used for changing an impedance of an impedance varying circuit. A change in the impedance is made in a manner that, even when the voltage to be compared gets closest to the reference voltage, a shift voltage for the comparator to make an exact comparison is fed to the voltage to be compared. An averaging circuit averages a count value and the code converting circuit converts a resulting average value to the thermometer code.

An IC bare chip carrier installs an IC bare chip for performing a burn-in test and a functional examination of the bare chip. The carrier consists of an installing unit for installing the bare chip and an interconnecting unit for electrically interconnecting chip electrodes of the bare chip with output electrodes of the interconnecting unit, to be connected to apparatus for the burn-in test and the functional examination. The installing unit is made of aluminium nitride having an expansion rate near of material, ceramic, of the IC bare chip, for making fabrication of installing surface of the IC bare chip easy. The interconnecting unit has an air exchange mechanism by which the IC bare chip can be laid in a space, made by combining the installing unit and the interconnecting unit, constantly filled with inert gas such as nitrogen. The IC bare chip is transported anytime and anywhere as installed in the carrier without being contaminated.
