Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide techniques that enable avoidance of the concentration of an electric field at the edge of a semiconductor film in a semiconductor device such as a thin film transistor, thereby enhancing the reliability. Exemplary embodiments provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using a structure in which a semiconductor film, a dielectric film, and an electrode are deposited. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming an island-shape semiconductor film on one dielectric surface of a substrate, the substrate having at least one dielectric surface; forming a first dielectric film on the one surface of the substrate so as to cover the semiconductor film and have a film thickness of the portion other than over the semiconductor film equal to or larger than that of the semiconductor film; reducing a film thickness of the first dielectric film at least in a region over the semiconductor film; and forming an electrode so as to be on the first dielectric film after reduction of the film thickness and pass over a predetermined location of the semiconductor film.

Abstract:
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, the main assembly including an output contact movable between an electrical connecting position and a retracted position retracted from the electrical connecting position. The process cartridge includes a movable operation member movable relative to a cartridge frame, wherein when the process cartridge is inserted into the main assembly of the apparatus, the movable operation member is engageable with a fixed engageable member fixed in the main assembly of the apparatus to move relative to the cartridge frame, and is engageable with a displaceable engaging portion of the displaceable member to move the output contact from the retracted position to the electrical connecting position; and an input electrical contact for receiving a voltage for enabling the process device by engagement with the output contact moved to the electrical connecting position.
Abstract:
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image forming apparatus, wherein the main assembly includes a main assembly electrical contact, a movable member movable between a protecting position for covering the main assembly electrical contact and an exposing position for exposing the main assembly electrical contact, and a locking member movable between a locking position for limiting an operation of the movable member and a releasing position for permitting the operation of the movable member, the cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum; process means actable on the drum; a first engaging portion for moving the locking member from the locking position to the releasing position in midstream of mounting the cartridge to the main assembly of the apparatus; a second engaging portion for moving the movable member from the protecting position to the exposing position in midstream of mounting the cartridge to the main assembly of the apparatus; and a cartridge contact for electrically connecting with the main assembly electrical contact when the cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The main assembly includes an output contact movable between electrical connecting and retracted positions, a displaceable member for moving the output contact, and an elastic function member for elastically urging the displaceable member to urge the output contact toward the retracted position. The cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a process device actable on the drum, and a movable operation member engageable with a main-assembly fixed engageable member and with the displaceable member to move the output contact from the retracted to the electrical connecting position against the bias of the elastic function member, in interrelation with the movement of the displaceable member, after the engagement with the fixed engageable member when the cartridge is inserted into the main assembly. The cartridge also includes an input electrical contact.
