    摘要: A semiconductor device includes: a control-voltage supply unit 110; an MOS transistor including a gate electrode 109 and drain and source regions 103a and 103b; a dielectric capacitor 104; and a resistor 106. The dielectric capacitor 104 and the resistor 106 are disposed in parallel and interposed between the gate electrode 109 and the control-voltage supply unit 110. With this structure, a charge is accumulated in each of an intermediate electrode of the dielectric capacitor 104 and the gate electrode 109 upon the application of a voltage, thereby varying a threshold value of the MOS transistor. In this manner, the history of input signals can be stored as a variation in a drain current in the MOS transistor, thus allowing multilevel information to be held.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate is placed within a housing. By supplying organometallic complexes and carbon dioxide in a supercritical state into the housing, a BST thin film is formed on a platinum thin film, while at the same time, carbon compounds, which are produced when the BST thin film is formed, are removed. The solubility of carbon compounds in the supercritical carbon dioxide is very high, and yet the viscosity of the supercritical carbon dioxide is low. Accordingly, the carbon compounds are removable efficiently from the BST thin film. An oxide or nitride film may also be formed by performing oxidation or nitriding at a low temperature using water in a supercritical or subcritical state, for example.

    摘要: A method for selectively and rapidly extracting/removing a plasticizer from a compact such as a green laminate that is produced at a certain point in the process of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic capacitor. Carbon dioxide is introduced into a pressure chamber in which the green laminate has been placed, and the temperature and the pressure of the pressure chamber are set to 40° C. and 10 MPa, respectively, so that the pressure chamber is filled with a supercritical carbon dioxide. The plasticizer is extracted/removed from the green laminate by using the supercritical carbon dioxide. Then, a de-binder step and a baking step are performed in an ordinary manner. By performing the de-plasticizer process of selectively extracting/removing the plasticizer before the de-binder step, it is possible to suppress the formation of a graphite-like substance even if the temperature is increased rapidly in the subsequent de-binder step and the baking step. Therefore, the manufacturing yield or the performance of the product from will not be reduced.
