There is provided a power control circuit having a stable high-speed operation, and a semiconductor device and a transceiver circuit using it. The power control circuit controls the gain of an amplifier so that power outputted from the amplifier reaches a desired value according to a digital control signal. The power control circuit includes a digital feedback loop which converts a detected signal obtained by detecting a value of the output power of the amplifier to a digital signal, determines a differential between the digital signal and the digital control signal, converts the differential to an analog signal and outputs a first feedback signal, an analog feedback loop which outputs a high frequency element corresponding to a differential between an analog signal to which the digital control signal is converted and the detected signal, as a second feedback signal, and an adder which determines the sum of the first and the second feedback signal and outputs a gain control signal for controlling the gain of the amplifier.

Into an internal circuit to operate in a high-frequency band, there is incorporated a protective circuit of a multistage connection which is constructed to include a plurality of diode-connected transistors having a low parasitic capacity and free from a malfunction even when an input signal higher than the power supply voltage is applied. Into an internal circuit to operate in a low-frequency band, there is incorporated a protective circuit which is constructed to include one diode-connected transistor. The protective circuits include two lines of protective circuit, in which the directions of electric currents are so reversed as to protect the internal circuits against positive/negative static electricities.

A non-volatile memory device having memory elements with a channel length of, e.g., 45-55 nm or less, is fabricated using existing lithographic techniques. In one approach, patterns of first and second photomasks are transferred to the same photoresist layer. The first photomask can have openings with a given feature size F that are spaced apart by the feature size F, for instance. The second photomask has an opening which is sized to create a desired inter-select gate gap, such as 3 F or 5 F. A third photomask is used to provide protective portions in a second photoresist layer over the select gate structures. The final structure has memory elements of width F spaced apart by a distance F, and select gates of width 3 F spaced apart by 3 F or 5 F. In another approach, the patterns of three photomasks are transferred to respective photoresist layers to create an analogous final structure.

This invention provides a receiver in which the calibration time by repeated operations to correct phase mismatch and amplitude mismatch between I and Q signals can be reduced. The receiver comprises mixers which convert received RF signals into quadrature modulated IF signals, signal paths which filter and amplify and output the quadrature modulated signals output from the mixers, a calibration circuit which calibrates phase and amplitude mismatches between the I and Q components of the quadrature modulated signals output through the signal paths, a frequency converter which, when the mixers or the signal paths selected output calibration signals with IF frequency instead of the quadrature modulated signals, converts the calibration signals into those with a frequency higher than IF frequency, and an arithmetic operation circuit which calculates phase and amplitude mismatches from the calibration signals output by the frequency converter and outputs calculation results. The calibration circuit executes calibration, using the calculation results.

The present invention provides a PLL circuit containing a loop gain circuit capable of suppressing loop gain variation. This PLL circuit includes a counter that is driven by a voltage controlled oscillator within the PLL circuit, an accumulator (ACL) that accumulates the output of the counter, and a comparison operation circuit block that compares the count value of the ACL and the design value pre-stored in a register, and the loop gain of the PLL circuit is detected taking advantage of the fact that the ACL count value is inversely proportional to the loop gain. Based on the detection result, the loop gain is calibrated by correcting the loop gain with a charge pump current, etc. This allows the PLL circuit to maintain stable loop characteristics that will not affect the characteristics variation of each element constituting the PLL.

A plasma processing method performs a desired plasma process on substrates by using a plasma generated in a processing space. A first and a second electrode are disposed in parallel in a processing vessel that is grounded, the substrate is supported on the second electrode to face the first electrode, the processing vessel is vacuum evacuated, a desired processing gas is supplied into the processing space formed between the first electrode, the second electrode and a sidewall of the processing vessel, and a first radio frequency power is supplied to the second electrode. The first electrode is connected to the processing vessel via an insulator or a space, and is electrically coupled to a ground potential via a capacitance varying unit whose electrostatic capacitance is varied based on a process condition of the plasma process performed on the substrate.
