A tire-information administration system includes a plurality of sensor modules installed in tires; at least one reception module configured to receive data from the sensor modules; and a central control module configured to command the reception module to acquire data from the sensor modules. The central control module includes a predetermined number of connection ports for the reception module, assigned in advance to each sensor modules; and a specifically configured control means. The control means sequentially outputs at predetermined sampling time a command of data acquisition from a sensor module, to the connection port assigned to each sensor module; assigns the connection port to the sensor module for the next sampling, when there is a data input from the sensor module in response to the command; assigns data acquisition from the sensor module to another connection port, and assigns the other connection port to the sensor module for the next sampling, when there is no data input from the sensor module even by the command issuance. Thus, the tire-information administration system maintains communications even in case of troubles of the reception modules or damages of tires.

A bipolar transistor having the enhanced characteristics is fabricated by etching a base mesa, which is formed below an emitter mesa (upper emitter layer) and a base electrode, to have jut regions on the edges of its generally rectangular region. A mask film, e.g., insulating film, is formed to cover the rectangular region and jut regions, and the base layer is etched by use of the insulating film for masking thereby to form a base mesa. Consequently, abnormal etching can be prevented from occurring along the base electrode and emitter mesa on the edges of the area where the base electrode and emitter mesa confront, and the increase of resistance between the base layer and the emitter layer can be prevented, whereby the bipolar transistor can have the enhanced characteristics.

The present invention achieves the enhancement of a manufacturing yield factor and the reduction of manufacturing cost in a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device having a hetero junction bipolar transistor (HBT), a Schottky diode and a resistance element. The present invention is directed to the manufacturing method of a semiconductor device in which respective semiconductor layers which become a sub collector layer, a collector layer, a base layer, a wide gap emitter layer and an emitter layer are sequentially formed over one surface of a semiconductor substrate and, thereafter, respective semiconductor layers are processed to form the hetero junction bipolar transistor, the Schottky diode and the resistance element in a monolithic manner. An emitter electrode of the hetero junction bipolar transistor, a Schottky electrode of the Schottky diode and a resistance film of the resistance element are simultaneously formed using a same material (for example, WSiN). Accordingly, the man-hours can be reduced and the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor device can be reduced.
摘要:
Provided is a technique of improving the properties of a bipolar transistor. Described specifically, upon formation of a collector electrode around a base mesa by the lift-off method, a resist film is formed over connection portions between the outer periphery of a region OA1 and a region in which the base mesa 4a is formed, followed by successive formation of gold germanium (AuGe), nickel (Ni) and Au in the order of mention over the entire surface of a substrate so that the stacked film of them will not become an isolated pattern. As a result, the stacked film over the base mesa 4a is connected to a stacked film at the outer periphery of the region OA1, facilitating peeling of the stacked film over the base mesa 4a. In addition, generation of side etching upon formation of a via hole extending from the back side of the substrate to a backside via electrode is reduced by forming the backside via electrode using a material such as WSi which hardly reacts with an n type GaAs layer or n type InGaAs layer.
