摘要:
An improved etching method allowing the formation of a silicon nitride film with an adequate film thickness at the sidewall portion of a pattern is disclosed. A silicon nitride film formed to cover a stepped pattern is dry-etched, employing plasma of mixed gases containing CH2F2 and O2. As a result, a sidewall spacer of the silicon nitride film is formed at the sidewall of the pattern in a self-aligned manner.

A hard mask insulating layer is formed on a gate electrode which is formed on a main surface of a silicon substrate with a gate insulating layer interposed. An SiN sidewall spacer is directly formed on a thin SiO2 layer which is formed to cover a side surface of the gate electrode. A contact hole is formed to penetrate an interlayer insulating layer formed on an SiN stopper layer and reach the main surface of the silicon substrate.

There are provided a semiconductor device, which includes an element isolating oxide film having a good upper flatness, and a method of manufacturing the same. Assuming that t.sub.G represents a thickness of a gate electrode layer 6, a height t.sub.U to an upper surface of a thickest portion of element isolating oxide film 4 from an upper surface of a gate insulating film 5 and an acute angle .theta.i defined between the upper surfaces of element isolating oxide film 4 and gate insulating film are set within ranges expressed by the formula of {.theta.i, t.sub.U .linevert split.0.ltoreq..theta.i.ltoreq.56.6.degree., 0.ltoreq.t.sub.U .ltoreq.0.82t.sub.G }. Thereby, an unetched portion does not remain at an etching step for patterning the gate electrode layer to be formed later. This prevents short-circuit of the gate electrode. Since the element isolating oxide film has the improved flatness, a quantity of overetching in an active region can be reduced at a step of patterning the gate electrode. This prevents shaving of the gate insulating film and the underlying substrate surface.

A method of joining sheet members together, which enables two sheets to be joined while conveying these sheets and reducing a cause of inferior products as much as possible. The method of joining sheet members includes: bonding an end of a new sheet member to a surface of a preceding sheet member through an adhesive material to form a joined part; and cutting the preceding sheet member at a position rearward of the joined part to join the preceding sheet member with a new sheet member, wherein the preceding sheet member is secured to the new sheet at a position rearward of the joined part. In addition, in the method of joining sheet members, the securing is carried out by welding using laser beam.

A surface acoustic wave device includes a base portion that surrounds a surface acoustic wave element and is made of a resin, and a cap portion that is adhered onto the base portion so that a cavity sealing the surface acoustic wave element is formed, and is made of a resin. At least one of an adhering face of the base portion and an adhering face of the cap portion adhering the base portion and the cap portion is subjected to a grain finish or a dull finish. A convex portion is provided inside of the adhering face that is of one of the base portion and the cap portion adhered to the other.

A normal position detecting mechanism for detecting a position of a functional component in a heating apparatus includes a drive member mounted on the functional component, a drive unit assembly mounted on the heating apparatus, and a switch for generating a detection signal. The driven unit assembly includes a switch actuating member, a bracket for supporting the switch actuating member, and a biasing member arranged between the mounting bracket and the switch. The biasing member applies a bias force for driving the switch actuating member against the direction for generating the detection signal. The drive member is positioned facing the switch actuating member when the functional component is in its normal position so that the drive member provides a force to move the switch against the biasing force to generate a detection signal.
