 Feram's Leech
Far away and deep in his mountain hold, Feram's powerful magic was such that he was able to capture the first of the broken-tusked beasts that dared to venture forth from the deep tunnels in the mountains.
With each kill, whomever held Feram's Leech would grow madder with bloodlust until, bereft of opponents, the wielder would turn the Leech upon themselves so that the gushing, coppery ecstasy of liquid life would continue to flow and the Leech could pass to a new servant.
Fearing that Feram had regained his terrible weapon and would use it for his own twisted purposes, the armies of men stormed Feram's mountain fortress and finally overcame him in his deepest chamber, where the terrible weapon had been forged.

In this way, conventional FeRAM, which was limited to use in the previous-generation logic LSI chips that used a one-layer or two-layer wiring process and 0.8um design rule, can now be used for high-performance system LSI chips that employ a 0.35um or finer design rule and multi-layer wiring of three or more layers.
However, it is technologically difficult to incorporate the FeRAM macros for hybrid use in advanced- process chips that use multi-layer wiring, and their application has been limited to earlier-generation system LSI chips that are fabricated with a 0.8um design rule and employ no more than two-layer wiring.
This technology made it possible to incorporate FeRAM into advanced system LSI chips that are fabricated with a 0.35um or finer design rule and employ multi-layer wiring of three or more layers, without loss of logic circuit performance.
