摘要:
An object is to provide a manufacturing method of a microcrystalline silicon film with improved adhesion between an insulating film and the microcrystalline silicon film. The microcrystalline silicon film is formed in the following manner. Over an insulating film, a microcrystalline silicon grain having a height that allows the microcrystalline silicon grain to be completely oxidized by later plasma oxidation (e.g., a height greater than 0 nm and less than or equal to 5 nm), or a microcrystalline silicon film or an amorphous silicon film having a thickness that allows the microcrystalline silicon film or the amorphous silicon film to be completely oxidized by later plasma oxidation (e.g., a thickness greater than 0 nm and less than or equal to 5 nm) is formed. Plasma treatment in an atmosphere including oxygen or plasma oxidation is performed on the microcrystalline silicon grain, the microcrystalline silicon film, or the amorphous silicon film, so that a silicon oxide grain or a silicon oxide film is formed over the insulating film. A microcrystalline silicon film is formed over the silicon oxide grain or the silicon oxide film.
摘要:
A data processing apparatus and a data processing method for implementing data-tuning rapidly, in which when CPU is operating based on PROM data, it permits operation to implement while referring to data which is rewritten to RAM without stop of the operation. There is provided a CPU core for performing program operation for the purpose of implementing of data processing, a PROM for storing data which is referred at the time of data processing, a register for memorizing a data-stored-address, and a comparator for comparing an address. The comparator is brought into effective when the data-stored-address is outputted while rewriting the RAM during executing the CPU core, comparing the data-stored-address memorized within the register with an address outputted from the CPU core, bringing the RAM selection signal into active when both correspond with each other, while bringing the PROM selection signal into inactive, after receiving thereof the CPU core refers to the data stored within the RAM instead of the data stored within the non-volatile memory, thereby a data-tuning is capable of being realized without stop of operation.

A semiconductor memory circuit reduces a current consumed by sense amplifiers, prevents erroneous operation, and can operate at high speed. The semiconductor memory circuit has a plurality of memory blocks each comprising a decoder, a plurality of memory cells, a plurality of sense amplifiers for amplifying potential changes in bit lines, a data latch for latching outputs from the sense amplifiers, a plurality of nMOS transistors for discharging the bit lines, an NAND gate for generating a sense amplifier de-energizing signal RD, and a reference voltage generator. In response to a memory block selecting signal CS, the NAND gate generates the sense amplifier de-energizing signal RD, which is applied to energize the nMOS transistors to discharge the bit lines of a memory block which is not selected.

摘要:
Among power supply lines for the standard cells provided nearby the corner part of an outer peripheral power supply line (the grand potential, for example) of a macro cell, the power supply line of the power source potential, for example, is connected to an inner peripheral power supply line (the power source potential) through an auxiliary power supply line provided on said corner part. The auxiliary power supply line is formed in L-shape with the first metal layer line and the perpendicular extending second metal layer line connected each other through a contact. Further, the first metal layer line of the auxiliary power supply line is provided so as to cross over the second metal layer line of the outer peripheral power supply line with an insulating layer therebetween. Therefore, the auxiliary power supply line can connect the inner peripheral power supply line and the power source potential line for the standard cell without electrical contact with the outer peripheral power supply line. Therefore, according to the present invention, all of the power supply lines can be connected each other by the automated lay-out technique without occurrence of short and manual modification, therefore the time course required for semiconductor integrated circuit development can be shortened.
