摘要:
A protective system incorporated in a semiconductor integrated circuit device has a shared discharging line and a plurality of protective circuits each having a diode and a lateral bipolar transistor coupled between an associated pad and the shared discharging line. Surge voltage applied to the pad is discharged through the associated protective circuit to the shared discharging line so that a main circuit is not destroyed by the surge voltage.

A memory cell comprising a MOSFET formed on a principle surface of a semiconductor substrate and an information storage capacitor having a storage electrode formed in or on the substrate so as to contact with a drain region of the MOSFET, and a capacitor electrode formed adjacent to the storage electrode with a capacitor insulator film being sandwiched between the storage electrode and the capacitor electrode. The storage electrode is connected to the drain region of the MOSFET through a thin barrier layer which is formed between the drain region and the storage electrode region so as to prevent impurities in the storage electrode from being diffused into the drain region.

A semiconductor device has a protective circuitry including a common discharge line, a first protective device connected between one of input/output terminals and the discharge line, and a second protective device connected between one of Vcc and ground terminals and the discharge line. The second protective device has an on-resistance as much as 1/2 of the on-resistance of the first protective device. Each of the power terminals and ground terminals generally has a large capacitance to accumulate a large amount of electric charge during a CDM test after charging of the semiconductor device as a whole. The low on-resistance prevents the inner circuit and input/output buffers of the semiconductor device from being applied with a higher potential during subsequent grounding of the semiconductor device in the CDM test.

A polymer film 102 is formed on a substrate 101, a thermistor resistor 106 is formed on the polymer film 102, and a light reflecting film 104 is formed between the thermistor resistor 106 and the substrate 101. For this reason, if infrared rays or terahertz waves are incident from above, a part is absorbed by the thermistor resistor 106, and most transmits the polymer film 102 and is reflected by the light reflecting film 104. When the distance between the thermistor resistor 106 and the light reflecting film 104 is d, a light component having a wavelength expressed by d=l/4 and equal to or smaller than l resonates and changes to heat, and the temperature of the thermistor resistor 106 rises. A change in resistance with a rise in the temperature of the thermistor resistor 106 is detected, thereby detecting the intensity of an infrared ray or a terahertz wave.

摘要:
A plurality of through-hole vias connected to conductor layers is disposed with gaps left between these vias around opening parts disposed in the conductor layers in a printed board in which these conductor layers are disposed parallel to each other so as to sandwich a dielectric layer in between. Furthermore, through-hole vias used for excitation are disposed in the opening parts of the conductor layers and regions of the dielectric layer matching these opening parts in a non-contact manner with the conductor layers. When the complex dielectric constant is measured, a high-frequency power is applied to the through-hole vias, and the power loss between the through-hole vias and the conductor layers is measured by the S parameter method. As a result, the complex dielectric constant and the frequency dependency of this complex dielectric constant can be measured with a high precision in a frequency range extending from several gigahertzes to 20 GHz, and there is no electrical interference with other parts even when this resonator is mounted on a board.
