    摘要: A transistor includes p-type semiconductor (12) including a projection (13a) having a pair of side walls (13b, 13b) facing each other, a gate insulation layer (15c), a pair of n-type source/drain regions (BL1, BL2), tunnel insulation layers (15a), a pair of floating gates (FG1, FG2), inter-polycrystalline insulation layers, and a control gate (CG). The root portion of the projection (13A), which virtually connects the source/drain regions (BL1, BL2) with a straight line, is higher in the concentration of the p-type impurity than the other portion. A delete voltage for deleting charges stored in the floating gate (FG) is applied between the control gate (CG) and the source/drain region (BL1, BL2), so that a delete current flows toward the control gate (CG) or the source/drain region (BL1, BL2), the charges stored being deleted.

    摘要: A phase difference detection unit for an automatic focusing system of a camera or the like. The phase difference detecting unit includes a pair of linear image pickup devices which receive a pair of optical images of an object formed by the lens in the automatic focusing system of a camera or the like. The detecting unit also has a correlation operating circuit which determines whether or not the lens of the focusing system is in a proper focus condition. The proper focus condition is determined by a minimum correlation value output by the correlation operating circuit, the value being indicative of the correlation between a pair of phase shifted analog electrical signals representative of the optical images received by the pickup devices. The correlation operating circuit is capable of operation at high speed with improved accuracy by maintaining the capacitive loads of the input terminals of the correlation operating circuit.

    摘要: A correlator, such as may be used in a phase detecting device of an automatic focusing circuit for a camera , has a simple arrangement that attains improved accuracy and high speed. A pair of charge storing elements is provided to which input signals are applied. When predetermined charges are supplied into potential wells formed in the charge storing elements, charge remaining in the potential wells depending on their depth can be detected as the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals. Therefore, the input signals can be subjected to correlation directly as they are, that is, in analog form, without conversion to digital form.

    摘要: A first buried layer of one conductivity and a first well region of opposite conductivity are formed in a semiconductor layer using a first mask. A second mask is used to form a second buried layer and a second well region of the opposite conductivity and to introduce impurity of the one conductivity type into a surface of the second well to form a channel doped layer of the one conductivity. A high concentration buried layer of the opposite conductivity is formed by introducing opposite conductivity impurity into the second well region using a third mask. A gate insulating film is formed on the semiconductor layer by thermal oxidation. A source region and a drain region of the one conductivity type are formed on the surface of the second well region, on both sides of a gate electrode.
