Abstract:
In the method for fabricating a semiconductor device of the present invention, a collector layer of a first conductivity type is formed in a region of a semiconductor substrate sandwiched by device isolation. A collector opening is formed through a first insulating layer deposited on the semiconductor substrate so that the range of the collector opening covers the collector layer and part of the device isolation. A semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type as an external base is formed on a portion of the semiconductor substrate located inside the collector opening, while junction leak prevention layers of the same conductivity type as the external base are formed in the semiconductor substrate. Thus, the active region is narrower than the collector opening reducing the transistor area, while minimizing junction leak.
Abstract:
A heterojunction bipolar transistor is fabricated by stacking a Si collector layer, a SiGeC base layer and a Si emitter layer in this order. By making the amount of a lattice strain in the SiGeC base layer on the Si collector layer 1.0% or less, the band gap can be narrower than the band gap of the conventional practical SiGe (the Ge content is about 10%), and good crystalline can be maintained after a heat treatment. As a result, a narrow band gap base with no practical inconvenience can be realized.
Abstract:
An air-bag 12 is designed to vertically expand after transversely expanding while being inflated. The air-bag 12 having a substantially circular shape is folded from its opposite ends toward its middle along a direction “a” corresponding to vertical direction and rolled in an opposite direction, is then folded in a zigzag manner one fold over another from its opposite ends toward its middle along a direction “b” (transverse direction), and is accommodated in a container casing 14. Accordingly, the inventive air-bag device and air-bag folding method can suppress an inflation (expansion) of the air-bag toward a passenger at an early stage of the inflation of the air-bag, promote a transverse expansion more than a vertical expansion of the air-bag at the early stage of the inflation, and prevent a blow out of a gas toward the passenger.
Abstract:
A crystal growing apparatus comprises a vacuum vessel, a heating lamp, a lamp controller for controlling the heating lamp, a gas inlet port, a flow rate adjuster for adjusting the flow rate of a gas, a pyrometer for measuring the temperature of a substrate, and a gas supply unit for supplying a Si2H6 gas or the like to the vacuum vessel. An apparatus for ellipsometric measurement comprises: a light source, a polariscope, a modulator, an analyzer, a spectroscope/detector unit, and an analysis control unit for calculating &PSgr;, &Dgr;. In removing a chemical oxide film on the substrate therefrom, in-situ ellipsometric measurement allows a discrimination between a phase 1 during which a surface of the substrate is covered with the oxide film and a phase 2 during which the surface of the substrate is partially exposed so that the supply of gas suitable for the individual phases is performed and halted.
