A fuel cell includes electromotive portions, a first sheet, a second sheet, a replenishing portion and a fuel adjusting film. The electromotive portions cause fuel and oxygen to react chemically with each other to produce electrical energy. The first sheet is provided to supply the fuel to the electromotive portions. The second sheet is provided to supply the oxygen to the electromotive portions. The replenishing portion is provided at a predetermined portion of the first sheet to replenish the first sheet with the fuel. The fuel adjusting film is inserted in the first sheet to adjust the amounts of the fuel to be supplied from the first sheet to the electromotive portions.

A fuel cell according to the invention includes: a fuel supply section including a diffusion section configured to diffuse fuel supplied from a fuel supply port in an in-plane direction and an aperture plate having a plurality of apertures configured to emit the fuel from the diffusion section; an oxygen introducing section configured to introduce oxygen from outside; and a power generating section configured to generate electric power by the fuel supplied from the fuel supply section and oxygen supplied from the oxygen introducing section. Aperture ratio of the plurality of apertures provided in the aperture plate has a substantially radial distribution in the in-plane direction such that the aperture ratio is small near the fuel supply port and increases with distance from the fuel supply port. This enables provision of a fuel cell of the spontaneous respiration type where fuel can be uniformly supplied to achieve efficient power generation.

A fuel cell seal includes: a first seal member having a first protrusion in a major surface thereof; and a second seal member having a recess in a major surface thereof. The recess is engageable with at least part of the first protrusion. A fuel cell includes: a solid electrolytic film; a first and second seal member placed on both major surface sides of the solid electrolytic film, respectively, and opposed to each other; a fuel electrode placed on a side of the first seal member, the side being opposite to the solid electrolytic film; and an oxidizer electrode placed on a side of the second seal member, the side being opposite to the solid electrolytic film. One of the first and the second seal members has a first protrusion. Other of the first and the second seal members has a recess engageable with at least part of the first protrusion. The first and the second seal members are engaged with each other across the solid electrolytic film.

In a silicon microphone, a corrugation is formed in a conductive layer between a center portion forming a diaphragm and a periphery, wherein the corrugation is formed on an imaginary line connecting a plurality of supports formed in a circumferential direction of the conductive layer, whereby it is possible to increase the rigidity of the conductive layer; hence, distortion or deformation may hardly occur in the conductive layer irrespective of variations of stress applied thereto. Alternatively, a planar portion is continuously formed on both sides of a step portion in the plate so as to increase its rigidity, wherein a plurality of holes are uniformly formed and arranged in the planar portion by avoiding the step portion. Thus, it is possible to realize a high sensitivity and uniformity of performance and characteristics in the silicon microphone.

In a capacitor microphone, a diaphragm is positioned opposite to a fixed electrode for covering inner holes of a ring-shaped support, wherein when the diaphragm is deflected to approach the fixed electrode due to electrostatic attraction upon application of a bias voltage, internal stress that occurs on the diaphragm is canceled by compressive stress that is applied to the diaphragm in advance. The diaphragm is formed using a multilayered structure including a first thin film and a second thin film whose internal stress differs from the internal stress of the first thin film, thus adjusting the total internal stress thereof. The diaphragm can be formed in such a way that a center layer having a single-layered structure is sandwiched between first and second coating layers having controlled residual tensions and resistance against hydrofluoric acid.
