Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100022287DANCE GAME MACHINE, METHOD FOR SCORING DANCE GAME AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A dance game machine has a mode wherein instruction information to guide a player's dance motion is displayed on a display part, and a mode wherein the instruction information is not displayed. If not displayed, a storage part stores music data, step data, screen data, and comment data corresponding to the mode. A control part reproduces the stored music data sequentially, as well as outputting to the display part the screen data corresponding to the music data, but excepting the instruction information. An input receiving part receives operational input data based on a player's dance motion, while reproducing the music data sequentially. A determination part creates evaluation data of the player's dance motion by comparing dance data being created based on the music data and the step data with operational input data of the player, and outputs the evaluation data to the control part. The control part outputs comment data corresponding to the evaluation data to the display part.01-28-2010

20100171209SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A semiconductor device having stacked semiconductor chips is provided wherein alignment of even thin semiconductor chips of a large warpage is easy and thus high assembling accuracy and high reliability are ensured. Semiconductor chips having hollow through-silicon via electrodes each formed with a tapered portion are melt-joined using solder balls each having a core of a material higher in melting point than solder. When melt-joining the semiconductor chips, the temperature is raised while imparting an urging load to stacked semiconductor chips, thereby correcting warpage of the semiconductor chips. In each chip-to-chip connection thus formed, if the connection is to prevent the occurrence of stress around the electrode due to the urging load, a solder ball having a core of a smaller diameter than in the other connections is used in the connection.07-08-2010
20100193936SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A novel structure capable of reducing the stress in the insulating layer in the semiconductor element and thereby securing reliability is provided. When the semiconductor element and the substrate are connected with a solder, the stress generated in the insulating layer is reduced by placing a spherical core made of a material having a greater rigidity inside the solder and satisfying the following inequalities: 1 GPa<(Young's modulus of a encapsulation resin)<30 GPa, 20 ppm/k<(linear coefficient of expansion of the encapsulation resin)<200 ppm/k, and 10 MPa<(yield stress of the solder at room temperature)<30 MPa. At the time of connection, the thickness of the solder to be placed between the land on the surface of the semiconductor element and the core is adjusted to 1/10 or less of the terminal pitch.08-05-2010
