摘要:
A method used in an access module that uses a file system to manage a nonvolatile memory of an information recording module enables an available storage space to be calculated in a short time before file data is recorded, and shortens the time required from initialization of the file system to recording. An access module (1) manages information about area management of the file system configured in an information recording module in units of fixed-length blocks. A divisional available storage space calculation unit (103) performs an available storage space calculation process in units of the fixed-length blocks, and completes preparations for recording when detecting a minimum required storage space for recording file data and enables recording of the file data. This shortens the time required from initialization of the file system to recording.

A position change section of a processing device changes the position of a treatment object, at the time of performing a process by a process section, to correspond to a predetermined position in conformity to the treatment object. An inspection device inspects the occurrence of a defect on the treatment object having been subjected to processes by a plurality of processing devices. Then an analyzing process for specifying in which processing device the defect occurred is carried out based on (i) positional information of the treatment object, in each of the processing devices, and (ii) defect information defected by the inspection device. With this arrangement, during the process of manufacture of treatment objects, it is possible to precisely specify which processing device or processing device group caused the defect, without performing processes such as attaching, to the treatment object, information regarding processing devices which have conducted processes.

A semiconductor device is disclosed wherein a pair of radiating terminals and a plurality of lead terminals are formed from a single lead frame. A hole or holes in each radiating terminal are formed with an equal width and in an equal pitch to those of gaps between the lead terminals, and the opposite sides of each hole of the radiating terminal are connected to each other by a support element. The support elements of the radiating terminals and support elements which interconnect the lead terminals are formed with an equal length and in an equal pitch to allow the support elements to be cut away by a plurality of punches which are arranged in an equal pitch and have an equal width.

A recording device (101) can record data to a recording medium (164) that executes initialization operation when the recording medium (164) receives an initialization command, and the recording device (101) includes controller (160) for controlling operation of the recording device (101) and storage unit (190) for storing an operating system (5) which is executed by the controller (160) after a start-up of the recording device (101) is completed, and provides a predetermined function. The controller (160) performs start-up control so that the controller provides an instruction for initializing the recording medium when the recording device (101) is powered on, and, in parallel with the initialization of the recording medium (164), the controller (160) executes initialization of the operating system (5).

AFM tweezers includes: a first probe that comprises a triangular prism member having a ridge, a tip of which is usable as a probe tip in a scanning probe microscope; a second probe that comprises a triangular prism member provided so as to open/close with respect to the first probe. The first probe and the second probe are juxtaposed such that a predetermined peripheral surface of the triangular prism member of the first probe and a predetermined peripheral surface of the triangular prism member of the second probe face substantially in parallel to each other, and the first probe formed of a notch that prevents interference with a sample when the sample is scanned by the tip of the ridge.

A semiconductor device having a pellet mounted on a radiating plate thereof is disclosed. The radiating plate is formed in such a shape that a central portion thereof is positioned higher than both end portions thereof. A pellet is mounted on a lower face of the central portion of the radiating plate, and an upper face of the central portion of the radiating plate is exposed to the top of a resin member. Since the upper face of the central portion of the radiating plate which has the pellet mounted on the lower face thereof is exposed from the resin member, heat generated by the pellet can be radiated efficiently.

A scanning probe microscope for scanning a probe needle in proximity to a surface of a sample in XY-axis directions while moving at least one of the probe and the sample in a Z-axis direction has a plurality of band-pass filters for passing a plurality of band-pass signals by extracting predetermined frequency bands different one another from a surface geometry signal output by a probe. An image memory stores the respective band-pass signals and corresponding positions on the sample surface, and a color image outputting device outputs a color image by treating each of the respective band-pass signals stored as image data in the image memory as different color data and combining the data. The plurality of band-pass signals includes a first band-pass signal having a first frequency range set to include only abrupt transitions in the sample surface and a second band-pass signal having a second frequency range set to include frequencies slightly outside the first frequency range so that abrupt transitions in geometry on the sample surface are represented by a first color in response to the first band-pass signal and areas directly adjacent the abrupt transitions on the sample surface are represented by a second color different from the first color.

A semiconductor device having lead terminals bent in a J-shape is disclosed. A radiating plate having a recess formed on an outer peripheral portion thereof is exposed to a lower face of a resin member and free ends of outer portions of the lead terminals are positioned in the recess of the radiating plate. The free ends of the outer portions of the lead terminals and the recess of the radiating plate are isolated from each other by projections of the resin member. Since the radiating plate is exposed to the lower face of the resin member, the heat radiating property is high whereas the radiating plate and the lead terminals are not short-circuited to each other at all.
