A pin type light-receiving device according to the present invention comprises (a) a semiconductor substrate, (b) a first semiconductor layer formed on a semiconductor substrate and doped with an impurity of a first conduction type, (c) a second semiconductor layer formed in a mesa shape on the first semiconductor layer and made of a first semiconductor material without intentionally doping the first semiconductor material with an impurity, (d) a third semiconductor layer formed in a mesa shape on the second semiconductor layer and made of the first semiconductor material doped with an impurity of a second conduction type different from the first conduction type, (e) a first electrode layer formed in ohmic contact on the first semiconductor layer, (f) a second electrode layer formed in ohmic contact on the third semiconductor layer, and (g) a fourth semiconductor layer formed around the first to the third semiconductor layers and made of a second semiconductor material having a band gap energy greater than the first semiconductor material without intentionally doping the second semiconductor material with an impurity. This arrangement can suppress the dark current, based on a reduction of leak current, thereby improving the device characteristics.

In an opto-electronic integrated circuit of the present invention, in a first surface region of a semiconductor substrate, a pin-type photodiode is constituted on the basis of a photodiode layer formed on a first transistor layer. In a second surface region of the semiconductor substrate, a heterojunction bipolar transistor is constituted on the basis of only a second transistor layer separated form the first transistor layer. Since a plurality of heterojunction bipolar transistors are normally integrated for one pin-type photodiode, the thickness of the heterojunction bipolar transistors larger in number than the pin-type photodiode is set regardless of the thickness of the pin-type photodiode. The thickness of a high-resistance layer in the pin-type photodiode is set with an increased degree of freedom. When the first surface region of the semiconductor substrate is the inner region of a recessed step portion, and the second surface region of the semiconductor substrate is the outer region of the recessed step portion, a difference in thickness between the heterojunction bipolar transistor and the pin-type photodiode is absorbed by the depth of the recessed step portion. For this reason, the pin-type photodiode and the heterojunction bipolar transistor are formed to have almost the same surface level.

In an optical link apparatus of the present invention, a hybrid IC which is a main amplifier of a receiver circuit, and a hybrid IC which is a transmitter circuit are mounted on an island of a lead frame. An OEIC in which electronic devices and a light receiving device which constitute a preamplifier of the receiver circuit are integrated is housed in a light receiving device unit. A light emitting device is housed in a light emitting device unit. Sleeves which are optical link components are installed at the light receiving device unit and the light emitting device unit, and one ends of the sleeves are protruded from a plastic molding to the outside. As wires are connected to lead pins, the hybrid ICs are electrically connected with the light receiving device unit and the light emitting device unit. The lead pins, the hybrid ICs, the light receiving device unit, the light emitting device unit, and the sleeves are integrally sealed by a plastic molding which is superior in productivity and processability. Therefore, the optical link apparatus which is small and superior in productivity can be achieved.

An opto-electronic integrated circuit is arranged to comprise a photodetector and a tunnel emitter bipolar transistor for first-stage amplification of a current generated in the photodetector, as formed on a substrate. The tunnel emitter bipolar transistor can be operated at high speed and has a high amplification factor, so that noise due to the base current can be reduced upon amplification of the current generated in the photodetector by light detection.

According to the invention, a cage has a ring portion, and a plurality of column portions that protrude from the ring portion, are arranged in the circumference direction, and form pockets that house balls serving as rolling elements. Each column portion has a column portion radially inward section that forms a bearing-radial-direction inward side portion of the column portion, and a column portion radially outward section that is connected to the column portion radially inward section at its radially outer end position, so as to protrude on both sides in the circumferential direction from the column portion radially inward section. An inner surface of each pocket is formed in a spherical shape that lies astride the column portion radially inward section and the column portion radially outward section. A connection position at which the column portion radially outward section is connected to the column portion radially inward section is adjusted to a position radially outward of a pitch circle position of the plurality of the balls that are held in the respective pockets. Thus, the thickness of the column portion radially inward section at the connection position is larger than the thickness of the column portion radially inward section at the pitch circle position.

An object of the present invention is to enable performing height recognition processing by setting a height of an arbitrary plane to zero for convenience of the recognition processing. A parameter for three-dimensional measurement is calculated and registered through calibration and, thereafter, an image pickup with a stereo camera is performed on a plane desired to be recognized as having a height of zero in actual recognition processing. Further, three-dimensional measurement using the registered parameter is performed on characteristic patterns (marks m1, m2 and m3) included in this plane. Three or more three-dimensional coordinates are obtained through this measurement and, then, a calculation equation expressing a plane including these coordinates is derived. Further, based on a positional relationship between a plane defined as having a height of zero through the calibration and the plane expressed by the calculation equation, a transformation parameter (a homogeneous transformation matrix) for displacing points in the former plane into the latter plane is determined, and the registered parameter is changed using the transformation parameter.

A thrust ball bearing includes an upper case and a lower case. In the upper case and the lower case, annular rings which are formed in the upper case and the lower case, respectively support balls which are rolling elements, and inter-case gaps are formed between the upper case and the lower case in order to reduce sliding resistance and rotational torque. A seal unit is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the lower case. The seal unit is made up of a recess portion which is formed on the inner circumferential surface and a rubber elastic element which is made as a separate element from the lower case and is then fitted in the recess portion. The recess portion is formed into an annular shape along a circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface.
