According to the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a Schottky barrier semiconductor device with lesser variation of barrier height .phi.B which may stably be adjusted in a wide range. A Schottky barrier is formed by combination of an electrode layer, a Ti thin layer and Al layer. The Ti thin oxide layer between the Ti thin and Al layers may prevent variation of barrier height .phi.B during heat treatment. By controlling vacuum.

A differential device for differentially distributing a driving force to axles along an axis is disclosed. The differential device has a case being capable of rotation about the axis, which includes a flange configured to receive the driving force and a shaft crossing the case perpendicularly to the axis; an opening defined by a peripheral border on an outer periphery of the case so as to allow access into the case, lateral extremities of which is deviated from a center of the shaft toward a direction opposite to the flange along the axis; and a differential gear set housed in and drivingly coupled to the case, the differential gear set including an input gear rotatable around the shaft and output gears so combined with the input gear as to differentially distribute the driving force to the output gears, the output gears being drivingly coupled to the axles.

A light-emitting diode has a low-resistivity silicon substrate on which there are laminated a buffer layer, an n-type lower confining layer, an active layer of multiple quantum well configuration, and a p-type upper confining layer. The active layer is constituted of cyclic alternations of a barrier sublayer of InGaN, a first complementary sublayer of AlGaInN, a well sublayer of InGaN, and a second complementary sublayer of AlGaInN. The proportions of the noted ingredients of the active sublayers are all specified. The first and the second complementary sublayers prevent the evaporation or diffusion of indium from the neighboring sublayers.

A current detector having a Hall-effect device formed in a semiconductor substrate for giving an output voltage proportional to the magnitude of an electric current. The detector has a first and a second current path terminal for the flow of the current to be detected. The two current path terminals are interconnected via two current paths having resistance values such that the current is divided at a prescribed ratio into two fractions on flowing into the current paths. While one current path directly interconnects the two terminals, the other path includes a conductor layer formed on the semiconductor substrate via an insulating layer so as to extend around the Hall-effect device. The magnitude of the complete current is detectable by the Hall-effect device from the current fraction flowing through the conductor layer. All but the terminals of the current detector is encapsulated to reduce a temperature difference between the two current paths to a minimum.

A first and a second Hall element (2 and 3) for current detection, in addition to a semiconductor element (4) for an electric circuit, are provided on a semiconductor substrate. A conductor layer (5), through which flows the current of the semiconductor element (4), is formed on an insulating film (20) on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The conductor layer (5) is arranged along the first and second Hall elements (2 and 3) for higher sensitivity. The magnetic flux created by the flow of a current through the conductor layer (5) is applied to the first and second Hall elements (2 and 3). The first and second Hall voltages obtained from the first and second Hall elements (2 and 3) are totaled for higher sensitivity.
摘要:
A high voltage, high speed Schottky diode has an electrode of aluminum or like Schottky barrier metal formed on a semiconductor region to create a Schottky barrier therebetween. Also formed on the semiconductor region is a extremely thin resistive layer of, typically, oxidized titanium surrounding the barrier metal electrode and electrically connected thereto. The resistive layer also creates a Schottky barrier at its interface with the semiconductor region and serves to expand the depletion region due to the barrier metal electrode, thereby preventing the concentration of the electric field at the periphery of the barrier metal electrode and so enhancing the voltage withstanding capability of the diode.
