Abstract: Let $B(X,Y)$ be a polynomial over $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which defines an $mathbb{F}_q$-bilinear form on the vector space $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and let $xi$ be a nonzero element in $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. In this paper, we consider for which $B(X,Y)$, the binary operation $xy+B(x,y)xi$ defines a (pre)semifield multiplication on $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. We prove that this question is equivalent to finding $q$-linearized polynomials $L(X)inmathbb{F}_{q^n}[X]$ such that $T{r}_{q^n/q}(L(x)/x)eq0$ for all $xinmathbb{F}_{q^n}^{\ast }$. For $nle4$, we present several families of $L(X)$ and we investigate the derived (pre)semifields. When $q$ equals a prime $p$, we show that if $n>frac12(p-1)(p^2-p+4)$, $L(X)$ must be $a_{0}X$ for some $a_{0}inmathbb{F}_{p^n}$ satisfying $T{r}_{q^n/q}(a_0)eq0$. Finally, we include a natural connection with certain cyclic codes over finite fields, and we apply the Hasse-Weil-Serre bound for algebraic curves to prove several necessary conditions for such kind of $L(X)$.
