摘要:
A data transfer apparatus which includes data devices which access a common, shared memory. Each data device is connected to a corresponding data buffer. A memory bus is connected to each of the data buffers and to the shared memory to allow data to be transferred between the data buffers and between the data devices and the shared memory via the data buffers. Data is transferrable between a transferring data device to a receiving data device by transferring data from the transferring data device to the data buffer corresponding to the transferring data device, from the data buffer corresponding to the transferring data device to the memory bus, from the memory bus to the data buffer corresponding to the receiving data device, and then from the data buffer corresponding to the receiving data device to the receiving data device. A data transfer controller controls the data buffers and the shared memory so that the shared memory does not transfer data onto the memory data bus when, during the transfer of data between the transferring data device and the receiving data device, data is being transferred between the data buffer corresponding to the transferring data device and the data buffer corresponding to the receiving data device via the memory bus.

A semiconductor memory device includes at least one memory cell formed on a substrate. The memory cell is constructed by a hole capacitor and a vertical transistor. The hole capacitor is formed in a hole on the substrate. The vertical transistor is formed in a semiconductor column formed in position adjacent to the hole.
摘要:
In a DRAM having a structure in which a storage node electrode is formed via an insulator film in a trench formed in a memory cell region to thereby form a capacitor, and in which the storage node electrode is connected in the source/drain regions of a MOSFET through a storage node contact formed in a part of the insulator film, the trench is disposed so as to deviate widthwise in a channel region of the MOSFET, so that the distance between adjacent element regions is reduced without causing misalignment of masks used in the formation of the storage node contact, thereby to provide a miniaturized high-reliability DRAM. In addition, the storage node contact and the trench can be formed in large size.

摘要:
In a coding apparatus, a first detecting device serves to detect a variation between conditions of pixels in a currently-coded line. A second detecting device serves to detect a variation between conditions of pixels in a reference line which immediately precedes the currently-coded line. A deciding device serves to decide a mode of MR coding in accordance with the variations detected by the first and second detecting devices. The first and second detecting devices and the deciding device are enabled to execute functions thereof in temporally parallel with each other.
