A chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift photomask comprising coarse and dense patterns coexisting in a plane is prepared by a series of pattern-forming steps including forming a resist layer on a photomask blank, exposing and patterning said resist layer, developing, etching said photomask blank and removing said resist layer. Patterns for transferring onto a wafer are formed on the photomask blank by a dry-etching method comprising dry-etching a chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift film utilizing etching gas comprised of mixed gas including (a) reactive ion etching gas, containing an oxygen-containing gas and a halogen-containing gas, and (b) reducing gas added to the gas component (a).

The object of the invention is to prevent reduction of hydrogen permeability and deterioration of a hydrogen separation member in a hydrogen separation device that uses an oxygen-containing as like a cathode off gas as a purge gas. A hydrogen separation device 50 includes a reformed gas passage 51, a purge gas passage 52, and a hydrogen separation membrane 53. A supply of a reformed gas flows through the reformed gas passage 51. A cathode off gas discharged from cathodes of fuel cells 60 flows through the purge gas passage 52 to carry hydrogen transmitted through the hydrogen separation membrane 53 to anodes of the fuel cells 60. A specific section of the hydrogen separation membrane 53 close to the supply of the cathode off gas has enhanced heat resistance. This structure effectively prevents deterioration of the hydrogen separation membrane 53, even when hydrogen transmitted through the hydrogen separation membrane 53 reacts with unreacted oxygen remaining in the cathode off gas to locally raise the temperature in the vicinity of the specific section close to the supply of the cathode off gas.

A plurality of sets of circuits are provided, each of which generates an impedance code through the use of an impedance control circuit in association with a resistive element connected to an external terminal, and each of which varies the impedance in accordance with such an impedance code. The impedance control circuit includes an impedance comparator which is formed equivalently to the resistive element and the plurality of sets of circuits, and which performs an impedance comparison with each of a plurality of replica circuits to form an up signal that increases the impedance and a down signal that decreases the impedance. Counters are provided adjacent to the individuals of the plurality of sets of circuits to thereby generate the impedance codes in response to the up signal and the down signal.

A dry-etching method comprises the step of dry-etching a metal thin film as a chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift film, wherein the method is characterized by using, as an etching gas, a mixed gas including (a) a reactive ion etching gas, which contains an oxygen-containing gas and a halogen-containing gas, and (b) a reducing gas added to the gas component (a), in the process for dry-etching the metal thin film. The dry-etching method permits the production of a half-tone phase-shift photomask by forming patterns to be transferred to a wafer on a photomask blank for a chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift mask. The photomask can in turn be used for manufacturing semiconductor circuits. The method permits the decrease of the dimensional difference due to the coexistence of coarse and dense patterns in a plane and the production of a high precision pattern-etched product.

In a fuel cell system 10, a cracking unit 20 is provided upstream of a reformer 36. When the cracking unit 20 is supplied with oxygen and gasoline as a hydrocarbon-based fuel, the gasoline is partially oxidized and decomposed using oxidation-generated heat to give a hydrocarbon with a lower carbon number. The hydrocarbon with the lower carbon number obtained by such gasoline pyrolysis is fed to the reformer 36 and supplied to a reforming reaction zone.

A shift reaction section 32 is designed to have a maximum capacity of about 40% of the maximum capacity of reforming section 30. When hydrogen-rich gas is supplied to the shift reaction section 32 in excess of its maximum capacity, a blower 46 supplies air to the hydrogen-rich gas in an amount corresponding to the supply of hydrogen-rich gas, and oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide is performed in addition to the shift reaction. By controlling the amount of air supplied, the carbon monoxide concentration at the exit of the shift reaction section 32 is maintained at a concentration less than a predetermined value. As a result, a fuel reformer 20 can be made compact, and at the same time, the energy required to increase the temperature at the time of start up can be reduced.
摘要:
While a fuel cell operates, a fuel cell system allows a carbon dioxide rich gas discharged from an anode of the fuel cell through consumption of hydrogen to be fed into a carbon dioxide recovery element of a carbon dioxide recovery unit. The carbon dioxide recovery element is packed with a zeolite, which absorbs and retains a polar substance CO.sub.2. When the fuel cell stops operation, a recovery element heating burner receives a supply of the hydrogen-containing carbon dioxide rich gas fed via a first exhaust conduit of the fuel cell and a supply of methanol from a methanol reservoir, and combusts hydrogen contained in the carbon dioxide rich gas as well as the supply of methanol. This keeps the zeolite packed in the carbon dioxide recovery element under a heating condition, which allows carbon dioxide previously absorbed and retained to be released from the zeolite. A reforming reaction unit of a methanol reformer and the fuel cell are filled with the released carbon dioxide fed therein.
