    摘要: A surrounding conditions display apparatus captures an image of an area surrounding a movable body and displays the captured image. The apparatus includes a CCD camera for capturing an image of the surrounding are, ultrasonic sensors for detecting a distance to an obstacle present in the surrounding area, and a liquid crystal display for displaying the image captured by the image capturing unit. A color image representing an area including the obstacle is superposed on the displayed image in such a manner that the brightness of the color image decreases with increasing distance from the origin of the area.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a salicide transistor, a semiconductor storage, and a semiconductor device that can solve both an increase in narrow-line resistance and an increase in P-N-junction leakage, and can give an optimized process as the total LSI device manufacturing process flow. After adding an impurity in the high-concentration source/drain region on a semiconductor substrate, a heat treatment is performed at a first temperature, then a heat treatment is performed for forming salicide at a second temperature higher than a predetermined temperature and lower than the first temperature for a first period of time, an interlayer insulating film is formed, and heat treatment is performed at a third temperature higher than the second temperature and lower than the first temperature. Since the crystallinity of the implanted layer 109 has been recovered before forming the silicide protecting film, salicide can be formed under the conditions where the crystallinity of the diffusion layer is good. Since heat treatment is also optimized during and after the salicide process, both an increase in narrow-line resistance and an increase in junction leakage can be inhibited.

    摘要: There is described a semiconductor device which includes in a single chip a high withstanding voltage transistor and a low withstanding voltage transistor and which imparts each of the transistors with a relevant threshold voltage and a characteristic suitable for retarding hot carriers. Specifically, an impurity profile is imparted to a lightly-doped extension (LDDEX) region formed across a channel region of a low withstanding voltage NMOS transistor, and a different impurity profile is imparted to an LDDEX region formed across a channel region of a high withstanding voltage NMOS transistor. These impurity profiles bring the threshold voltages of the MOS transistors to individual relevant voltages and retard hot carriers in the individual MOS transistors.

    摘要: A heater unit 1 has a plurality of flat heaters 11 adjacently arranged side by side and having common upper and lower surfaces. The thickness T of the heaters 11 is substantially uniform. Each heater 11 has an adjacent end surface 111 which faces toward an adjacent end surface 111 of the adjacent heater 11. The heater unit 1 also has upper and lower electrodes 21 holding the heaters 11 and respectively attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the heaters 11. The adjacent end surfaces 111 of the heaters 11 adjoining each other, and the upper and lower electrodes 21 form an air gap 12 therebetween. The creepage distance L along each adjacent end surface 111 is larger than the thickness T of the heaters 11. The dielectric strength of the heater unit 1 depends on the creepage distance L. The thickness T of the heaters 11 can be decreased without decreasing the dielectric strength of the heater unit 1. The output of the heater unit 1 increases when the thickness T is decreased.

    摘要: An image sensing device is provided with an expanded dynamic range when it photographs a moving object. A first gray value D1 of first picture taken with first exposure time is read in the first time interval and a second gray value D2 of second picture taken with second exposure time is read in the second time interval. Two function values f(D2) and g(D2) are calculated with respect to the second gray value D2. Then, a weight coefficient with respect to the function f(D2) is multiplied by the first gray value D1 and a weight coefficient with respect to the function g(D2) is multiplied by the second gray value D2. Those multiplied gray values are summed up. Such calculation of multiplying and summing up is carried out in each picture element of the first picture and the second picture, respectively.
