    摘要: A photoelectric conversion element encompasses a depletion-layer extension-promotion region having a p-type upper layer, a p-type photoelectric conversion layer in contact with the depletion-layer extension-promotion region, and an n-type surface-buried region buried in an upper portion of the photoelectric conversion layer, configured to implement a photodiode together with the photoelectric conversion layer. A first p-well is surrounded by a first n-tab, the first n-tab is surrounded by a second p-well, the second p-well is surrounded by a second n-tab, and the second n-tab is surrounded by a third p-well. An injection-blocking element blocks injection of carriers of opposite conductivity type to signal charges from the second p-well into the photoelectric conversion layer, and the inside of the photoelectric conversion layer is depleted by a voltage applied to the depletion-layer extension-promotion region.

    摘要: Provided is an electrostatic-type vibrational energy harvester device that makes it possible to efficiently rectify and charge power from low acceleration to high acceleration of vibrational energy applied from the exterior. The vibrational energy harvester device is provided with: a movable part capable of vibrating in a vibration direction as a result of mechanical vibrational energy, said movable part being provided with a first surface along the vibration direction; and a fixed part provided with a second surface facing the first surface of the movable part with a gap therebetween so that it is possible for the movable part to vibrate in the vibration direction. A plurality of recessed portions and protruding sections are formed in an alternating manner in the vibration direction on the surfaces of each of the first surface of the movable part and the second surface of the fixed part. An electret film is formed on at least one of the fixed part and the movable part. The vibrational energy harvester device is configured so that a force factor (electromechanical conversion factor) having a value that corresponds to the gap between the first surface of the movable part and the second surface of the fixed part becomes small when the vibration amplitude of the movable part is small and large when the vibration amplitude of the movable part is large.

    摘要: The invention shows a production method for carbon nanotubes. The production method comprises a first step of feeding at least one kind of gas-phase catalyst into a first chamber, the at least one kind of gas-phase catalyst being formed from an iron family element-containing substance and a halogen-containing substance that are contained in a first liquid; and a second step of forming the carbon nanotubes from a carbon source fed into the first chamber using a catalyst generated based on the gas-phase catalyst existing in the first chamber, wherein the first step includes vaporization of the first liquid, and the first liquid does not contain the carbon source.
