The synchronous serial communication circuit transmits and receives data, which is added flag patterns for recognizing the coil winding direction at the first and last of data block, by the electromagnetic induction system using a pair of coils. So, the circuit provides modulation and demodulation circuits acting at the clock of twice of the transfer speed and a flag check circuit for recognizing the inversion of the coil winding direction by judging a state of the flag patterns included in the received data. The transmitted data is converted into the biphase signal by the modulation circuit and is transmitted by driving the coil using the biphase signal. The signal received by the coil is converted into the received data by the demodulation circuit. When the winding directions of coils does not agree, the flag check circuit recognizes the inversion of the coil winding direction and the received data is inverted by the demodulation circuit.

A device equivalent to a wafer-scale integrated device is achieved by employing multiple IC chips installed on a silicon wafer. For fabricating the device, conventional IC chips of necessary different types are prepared, having their aluminum-wired surfaces coated with a silicon nitride film. These IC chips are placed on a substrate made of silicon keeping the wired faces face up. The wafer may be provided with depressions in which the chips are placed for precise positioning. Upon these chips and the wafer, a silicon layer is grown by a PVD method. The grown silicon layer fills gaps between the IC chips and binds the chips to each other and to the wafer, forming a single piece of wafer. Excessively grown silicon which is taller than the chips is removed by mechano-chemical polishing until the silicon nitride surfaces are exposed. During this polishing process, the silicon nitride film protects the wired surfaces from mechanical and chemical damage. The silicon nitride film is chemically removed until the aluminum wirings are exposed. An insulating layer and aluminum patterning are formed upon the exposed IC chips and filled gaps to form multi-layer wirings for interconnecting the chips and forming input/output connections. This method allows low cost wafer-scale integration higher density wirings and good heat-removal.

A power supply unit has a first power supply circuit that supplies a voltage to a load driving unit and a second power supply circuit that supplies a voltage to circuits other than the load driving unit. A first switching unit connects any one of a power supply that supplies a power supply voltage and a voltage step-down circuit that supplies a step-down voltage of the power supply voltage to the first power supply circuit. A second switching unit connects any one of the power supply and the voltage step-down circuit to the second power supply circuit. A control unit controls the connection by the first switching unit and the connection by the second switching unit to switch the voltage supplied to the first power supply circuit and the voltage supplied to the second power supply circuit in accordance with properties of the load driving unit.

In manufacturing processes of an integrated circuit, isolation technology between adjacent active elements on a substrate plays an important role. Groove isolation filled with dielectric is known as an effective way of achieving a high integration density, however the prior art methods of forming the isolation groove have the problem of formation of BIRD'S HEAD or BIRD'S BEAK portions around the isolation region, which restricts the integration density and deteriorates a flatness of the substrate. The method of forming isolation groove according to the present invention discloses that the method comprising the steps of removing a silicon oxide layer on a specified region surrounding the isolation groove, and depositing a silicon nitride layer directly on the substrate and forming the groove self-aligned using the above silicon oxide layer removal process, eliminates the above mentioned problems achieving a higher density of integration, a flatness of the substrate and improvement of the integrated circuit.
