A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a switching MISFET, and a capacitor element formed over the semiconductor substrate, is disclosed. In a first aspect, the impurity concentration of the semiconductor region of the switching MISFET to which the capacitor element is connected is less than the impurity concentration of semiconductor regions of MISFETs of peripheral circuitry. In other aspects, a Y-select signal line overlaps the lower electrode layer of the capacitor element; a potential barrier layer, provided at least under the semiconductor region of the switching MISFET to which the capacitor element is connected, is formed by diffusion of an impurity for a channel stopper region; the dielectric film of the capacitor element is co-extensive with the capacitor electrode layer over it, the capacitor dielectric film being a silicon nitride film having a silicon oxide layer thereon, the silicon oxide layer being formed by oxidizing a surface layer of the silicon nitride under high pressure; an aluminum wiring layer and a protective (and/or barrier) layer are formed by sputtering in the same vacuum sputtering chamber without breaking the vacuum between forming the layers; and a refractory metal, or a refractory metal silicide, is used as the protective layer for an aluminum wiring containing an added element (e.g., Cu) to prevent migration.

摘要:
A high-definition, high-quality, and high-contrast PDP that features high brightness, guaranteed long life, and stable driving, is provided by improving the time-dependent degradation of address discharge delay. The PDP includes: a front substrate having bus electrodes, and sustain discharge electrodes extending in a lateral direction of the bus electrodes to form display lines; a back substrate having address electrodes facing the sustain discharge electrodes in the lateral direction of the bus electrodes; and discharge cells formed between the substrates. Each of the discharge cells includes a sustain discharge cell and a priming discharge cell, in which a protruding electrode is formed to extend in a direction opposite to the discharge gap from the bus electrode, and a predetermined space is provided between the two cells to supply priming. The shape and size of the space are optimized so that the sustain discharge does not spread to the address discharge cell through the space.
摘要:
An image display device in which each pixel has a thin-film electron source composed of a lower electrode (which is a signal wire), an electron accelerating layer (which is formed by anodizing the surface of said signal wire), and an upper electrode (which covers said electron accelerating layer and releases electrons), in which the anodized film constituting said electron accelerating layer contains hydrated alumina component and anhydrous alumina component such that their ratio in the side close to the upper electrode is greater than that in the side close to the lower electrode. This structure prevents said thin-film electron source from being deteriorated in diode characteristics by said electron accelerating layer, thereby enhancing the reliability of said image display device.
