A method of forming an ohmic contact on a substrate composed of a wide-band gap semiconductor material includes: depositing a transition metal group metal on the substrate; annealing the substrate at a high temperature to cause a solid state chemical reaction between the substrate and the deposited metal that forms a modified layer in the substrate having modified properties different than the substrate, and by-products composed of a silicide and a nanocrystalline graphite layer; selectively etching the substrate to remove one or more of the by-products of the solid state chemical reaction from a surface of the substrate; and depositing a metal film composed of a transition group metal over the modified layer on the substrate to form the ohmic contact. The modified layer permits formation of the ohmic contact without high temperature annealing after depositing the metal film.
Abstract:
The method for molding a bead portion for a green tire includes a bead core supporting step for supporting the bead core through a carcass ply upon expanding a diameter of a bead core supporter including a seating surface for supporting a radially inner surface of the bead core. Since the bead core supporter comprises an outer piece outside of the seating surface in a tire axial direction that rises up towards outside in the radial direction with a clearance between the same and the bead core, that is larger than the thickness of the carcass ply, it is possible to flip a carcass outer region up, that is outside in the tire axial direction than a sandwiched region of the carcass ply, sandwiched and held between the seating surface and the bead core, and to deform the carcass outer region into an outer inclined piece that is inclined and extended towards radially outside without including any partially bent portions. It further includes a curving step of pressing the outer inclined piece inward in the tire axial direction by using a ply winding ring for curving the same towards the outside surface and the radially outer surface of the bead core, and a pressing step of pressing a tip end portion of the curved outer inclined piece towards the radially outer surface of the bead core by using a pressing roller.

Abstract:
In a silicon carbide semiconductor device such as a trench gate type power MOSFET, the film thickness and the impurity concentration of a thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer formed on a trench side face to constitute an accumulation-type channel-forming region and enable the device to operate with a low gate voltage, low on-resistance and low power loss are set so that on impression of a reverse bias voltage a pn junction between a P-type epitaxial layer and an n.sup.- -type epitaxial layer undergoes avalanche breakdown before the thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer undergoes punch-through. By this means it is possible to obtain a target high source-drain withstand voltage.
