摘要:
It is possible to solve the problem that a memory block of a group containing information frequently updated quickly reaches the rewrite service life end when the number of spare blocks prepared in a non-volatile semiconductor recording medium cannot be modified or when the memory block is divided into a plurality of groups so as to be processed alternately. The non-volatile semiconductor recording medium includes a partition management information area and a partition area. Partition area start position information is recorded in the partition management information area. The start position information contains a value assuring a predetermined area between the end of the partition management information area and the head of the partition area. The area assured between the end of the partition management information area and the head of the partition area is set to a state where data is physically erased.

A lead frame including a stage and a plurality of terminals is embedded in a mold resin including a base portion for mounting a semiconductor chip (e.g. a microphone chip), a peripheral wall disposed in the periphery of the base portion, and an extension portion extended outside of the peripheral wall, thus forming a package base. A plurality of holes is formed in the peripheral wall so as to expose the internal connection surface of the stage and the internal connection surfaces of the terminals. An extension portion of the stage is exposed on the extension portion of the mold resin in which the surfaces of the terminals are embedded. An extension portion (e.g. a brim) of a cover composed of a conductive material is attached to the extension portion of the mold resin of the package base, thus completely producing a semiconductor device.

A magnetic sensor is constituted using magnetic sensor chips mounted on stages supported by interconnecting members and a frame having leads in a lead frame. Herein, the stages are inclined upon plastic deformation of the interconnecting members. When the frame is held in a metal mold and the stages are pressed, the interconnecting members are elastically deformed, so that the magnetic sensor chips are bonded onto the stages placed substantially in the same plane and are then wired with the leads. Thereafter, the stages are released from pressure, so that the interconnecting members are restored from the elastically deformed states thereof. When the magnetic sensor chips are combined together to realize three sensing directions, it is possible to accurately measure three-dimensional bearings of magnetism, and the magnetic sensor can be reduced in dimensions and manufactured with a reduced cost therefor.

摘要:
A semiconductor device is produced using a lead frame whose size is smaller than a prescribed center area of a semiconductor chip surrounded by its bonding pads, which are connected with electrodes supported by electrode supports and interconnected with outer frames and an intermediate frame of the lead frame via bonding wires. A series of projections and hollows are formed on the outer frames, wherein the electrode supports are interconnected with the hollows of the outer frames respectively. The semiconductor chip combined with the lead frame, is integrally enclosed in a resin under the condition where only the electrode surfaces are exposed to the exterior, thus forming a resin package. Then, the electrode supports locating the electrodes are cut out and partially removed, so that the electrodes are made electrically independent from each other.

A physical quantity sensor includes a pair of physical quantity sensor chips that are inclined with respect to the bottom of an exterior mold package whose side surfaces are each inclined in a thickness direction by an angle ranging from 0° to 5° and are formed in proximity to the outer ends of the physical quantity sensor chips. It is possible to realize the inclination of stages without using molds, wherein absorption devices are used to absorb prescribed portions related to stages, which rotate about axial lines and are thus inclined with respect to a prescribed base. In manufacturing, a thin metal plate having a plurality of lead frames is placed on a base delimited by a clamp; then, intersecting points of intermediate portions formed between the lead frames are subjected to pressing so as to realize the inclination of stages.
