Abstract:
A bootstrap circuit is provided for a word line selector for setting word lines connected with dynamic memory cells at a select level corresponding to a first voltage and a nonselect level corresponding to a second voltage. The bootstrap circuit generates a bootstrap voltage which is given a difference substantially equal to the threshold voltage of address select MOSFETs with respect to the high level of bit lines connected with the memory cells, and feeds the bootstrap voltage to the selected word lines. The bootstrap circuit is activated in synchronism with a clock signal at a timing corresponding to an action mode designated by a command in an SDRAM before a precharge action, thereby changing the select level of the word lines from the first voltage to the bootstrap voltage.

An undoped GaAs layer and a GaAs active layer are formed on a GaAs semiconductor substrate in that order, and a surface of the GaAs active layer is inactivated. Thereafter, a wafer composed of the GaAs semiconductor substrate, the undoped G&As layer and the GaAs active layer is annealed at temperatures ranging from 570 to 580.degree. C. in a molecular beam epitaxy apparatus. Thereafter, the wafer is maintained at temperatures ranging from 350 to 500.degree. C., and an insulating layer made of amorphous GaAs is formed on the GaAs active layer while using tertiary-butyl-gallium-sulfide-cubane "((t-Bu)GaS).sub.4 " as a source of the insulating layer. Thereafter, the insulating layer is patterned according to a photo-lithography method to form a gate insulating layer on the GaAs active layer. Thereafter, a source electrode and a drain electrode are formed on both sides of the gate insulating layer to arrange the source and drain electrodes separated from each other on the GaAs active layer, and a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating layer.

An electron beam exposure device in which an electron beam from an electron beam source is passed through at least a slit of a first slit assembly. The first slit assembly includes: a base; a bearing assembly; a stage rotatably supported by the base via the bearing assembly; a stage rotation adjusting mechanism; a slit member; and at least one heat transfer path means for transferring heat of the stage to the base, wherein the at least one heat transfer path means enables the rotation of the stage by the stage rotation adjusting mechanism.
Abstract:
With using one scanning stage 19 where a plurality of wafers 16A to 16E is mounted through wafer holders 20A to 20E and balancing stage 21 disposed below scanning stage 19, scanning stage 19 is scanned based on exposure data common to a plurality of charged particle beam exposure apparatus 10A to 10E, and balancing stage 21 is scanned so that barycenter G of scanning stage 19 and balancing stage 21 becomes a fixed point. The positions of reflecting mirrors 70L and 70R secured to stage 19 are measured and based on their values, the expansion/contraction ratio of stage 19 and the positions of samples 16A to 16E are calculated to obtain deviation of the positions from target positions. Stage 19 is modeled such that rigid areas 19A to 19E are loosely connected, and for each area, the positions of three points are measured to calculate deviation of the exposure target position due to rotation of each ridged area. These deviations are corrected by deflectors 18A to 18D.

A driving apparatus for a zoom lens barrel has a driving ring for moving a lens system and a mechanism for movably supporting the driving ring for movement along an optical axis of the lens system. A gear train is supported by the supporting mechanism, a power source is provided in a camera body, and a mechanism for transmitting torque generated by the power source to the driving ring is provided. The torque transmitting mechanism includes the gear train, and a mechanism for disconnecting the torque transmission path from the power source to the driving ring if a torque above a predetermined value is applied to the driving ring. The disconnection mechanism is disposed in the gear train and is supported by the supporting mechanism.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor memory, switch circuits are provided so as to inhibit voltage and signal supplies to each of the normal memory blocks when so required. On the other hand, a ROM is provided on the chip so as to store the address of a defective memory block which consumes an excessively large stand-by current when the semiconductor memory is in the stand-by mode. The switch circuits are controlled by the output of the ROM so as to inhibit the voltage and signal supply to the defective memory block. Then, a spare memory block which is substituted for the defective normal memory block receives the voltage and signal supply.

Topical ophthalmic compositions comprising 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-2-(4-methyl-1-homopiperazinyl)-benzimidazole and its ophthalmically acceptable acid addition salts have been found to be useful in treating ocular allergies, especially allergic conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, and vernal conjunctivitis.
Abstract:
A zoom lens barrel of a camera has an outer ring and an inner ring located inside the outer ring. The inner ring moves relative to the outer ring during zooming. A brush holder having zoom brushes at both ends is supported by one of the inner and outer rings. The zoom brushes are made of an elastic conductive material. Zoom brushes provided at one end of the brush holder come into slidable contact with a zoom code plate, which is supported by the one of the inner and outer rings that does not support the brush holder. Zoom brushes, provided at the other end of the brush holder, contact brush contacting terminals of a flexible printed circuit board. A contact reaction force is created between the zoom brushes, the zoom code plate and the flexible printed circuit board, which provides bias force to press the brush holder against one of the inner or outer rings.
