    摘要: The lattice mismatching between a Ge layer and a Si layer is as large as about 4%. Thus, when the Ge layer is grown on the Si layer, penetration dislocation is introduced to cause leakage current at the p-i-n junction. Thereby, the photo-detection sensitivity is reduced, and the reliability of the element is also lowered. Further, in the connection with a Si waveguide, there are also problems of the reflection loss due to the difference in refractive index between Si and Ge, and of the absorption loss caused by a metal electrode. In order to solve said problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a vertical type pin-SiGe photodiode having a structure which is embedded in a groove formed in a part of a Si layer, in which a p-type or n-type doped layer is formed in a lower section of the groove, and in which a i-SiGe layer having a rectangular shape or a reverse tapered shape is formed on a layered structure formed by laminating a i-Si layer and a SiGe buffer layer on the lower section and the side wall of the groove. Further, in an optical connection section with a Si waveguide, impedance matching is effected by the layered structure composed of the i-Si layer and the SiGe buffer layer, and an upper metal layer is separated therefrom so that a poly-Si bridge structure is employed to electrically connect the upper metal layer therewith.

    摘要: A light receiving circuit (114) includes a light inputting circuit (113) which converts one-system optical signal to be outputted from an optical transmission path (101) to an electrical signal and inverts a potential of the electrical signal each time the optical signal is detected, and a buffer circuit (110) which amplifies the electrical signal converted by the light inputting circuit and outputs the same. According to such configuration, since one-system optical signal may be inputted to the light receiving circuit, a system circuit configuration can be avoided to be complicated.

    摘要: A game apparatus includes a CPU, and in the game apparatus, letters are displayed as visual support for a sound generated by a message generating object. When a game message is displayed, a distance between the message generating object and a player object is calculated. Then, a form of the letters to be displayed on a billboard is changed depending upon the calculated distance. The form to be changed is, for example, transparency and a size of the letters. Thus, a game image in which the form of the letters is changed depending upon the distance between the player object and the message generating object is displayed.
