A gate electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate between an n-type source region and an n-type drain region via a first insulating film. The first insulating film has second and third insulating films adjacent to each other in a plan view and, in a gate length direction of the gate electrode, the second insulating film is located on an n-type source region side, and the third insulating film is located on an n-type drain region side. The second insulating film is thinner than the third insulating film. The third insulating film is made of a laminated film having a first insulating film on the semiconductor substrate, a second insulating film on the first insulating film, and a third insulating film on the second insulating film, and each bandgap of the three insulating films is larger than that of the second insulating film.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor device includes an insulating film formed to cover an electric fuse (EF), an insulating film (IL), an insulating film (IL), an electric fuse (EF), an insulating film (IL), and an insulating film (IL). The electric fuse (EF) includes a fuse-blowing portion (FC), a first pad portion (PD), and a second pad portion (PD). The fuse-blowing portion (FC) is formed between the first pad portion (PD) and the second pad portion (PD) in a first direction and is a rectangular shape having a first short side and a second short side along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The insulating film (IL) is formed continuously between the first short side and the second short side to cover the surface of the fuse-blowing portion (FC). The insulating film (IL) is formed to planarly surround the insulating film (IL) and is arranged at an interval from the insulating film (IL). The stress of the insulating film (IL) and the insulating film (IL) is greater than a stress of the insulating film covering the insulating films.

Mobile radio communication apparatus having a plurality of MINs

This invention provides a dual-mode radio communication apparatus which can make normal communications even when an external apparatus is connected to a radio communication apparatus, the communication scheme of which is set in a digital mode. When the radio communication apparatus is not connected to a vehicle-mount kit via a connector in an analog mode, a switch control means of a controller switches a switching circuit to communicate a signal with a base station using a built-in antenna. When the apparatus is connected to the vehicle-mount kit, the switch control means switches the switching circuit to communicate a signal with the base station using an external antenna via the vehicle-mount kit and a booster unit. In the digital mode, the switch control means switches the switching circuit to communicate a signal with the base station using the built-in antenna independently of the connection with the vehicle-mount kit.

Dual-mode radio connected to an apparatus for communicating through in analog mode

According to the present invention, an analog-mode discharge characteristic storage area ( ) and a digital-mode discharge characteristic storage area ( ) store threshold data of remaining battery display in an incoming-call standby status in an analog mode and that in a digital mode, respectively. A remaining battery determination means ( ) determines a remaining battery level corresponding to a selected communication mode based on both a voltage of detected by a voltage detection circuit ( ) and data stored in the analog-mode discharge characteristic storage area ( ) or the digital-mode discharge characteristic storage area ( ). A remaining battery display control means ( ) causes the remaining battery to be displayed on an LCD display of a control unit ( ) in accordance with a determination result of the remaining battery determination means ( ).

Dual-mode radio communication device having function for selectively using analog or digital mode

The present invention provides a cheap handsfree unit which can prevent the howling phenomenon and reduce the input sound from the loud-speaker into the microphone in both the analog and digital modes. A reception side comprises a signal level adjusting circuit constituted by a switch circuit and attenuators, and a transmission side comprises a signal level adjusting circuit constituted by a switch circuit and attenuators, to introduce the attenuation of 15 dB or 30 dB in response to the analog or digital mode. A voice switch is constituted so that the analog reception signal and the analog transmission signal are rectified respectively by rectifiers, the levels of both signals are compared by a comparator, and either switch or switch having a higher input signal level becomes conductive as a result of the comparison. The attenuation is introduced on the basis of the communication mode, only to either the analog reception signal or analog transmission signal having a smaller signal intensity.
