A solid-state color imaging camera comprises three solid-state image sensors each of which has a two-dimensional array of picture elements arranged with respective predetermined pitches in vertical and horizontal directions. The first, second and third image sensors are used for green, red and blue lights. The optical positioning of the first image sensor is shifted with respect to the second and third image sensors by the half of the picture element pitch in the vertical direction.

A memory array divided into a plurality of sub-memory-arrays is disposed on a chip so that, if a specified sub-memory-array is selected by a sub-memory-array selecting circuit, a normal read/write operation is performed with respect to the sub-memory-array based on an address indicated by a group of external address signals. At the same time, a clock generator for self-refresh mounted on a chip generates a word-line basic clock for self-refresh and a word-line basic clock for refresh, thereby selecting the word lines in the sub-memory-arrays which have not been selected. Prior to a predetermined time at which the sub-memory-array subjected to a refresh operation is subsequently selected, a refresh halt signal is outputted so as to forcibly halt the refresh operation, thereby preventing insufficient recharging of a memory cell. Each of the plurality of sub-memory-arrays stores, of sequential sets of image data, data on one frame or one field.

A visible telephone includes a housing in which a video camera is accommodated in a manner that an aperture thereof is directed to the front. The camera is fixed to a rotatable holder which is rotated by an operation of a knob outside the housing, responsively, an angle of declination or elevation of the aperture of the camera is changed. The camera includes a lens system and a solid-state image sensor which converts a light image from the lens system into an electrical signal (video signal), which is mounted on a circuit board. The solid-state image sensor is responsive to at least an infrared light. On the same or the other circuit board, an infrared LED is mounted. The infrared LED is lightened at necessary timing to expose a person or subject in the front of the aperture of the camera.

A machine tool comprises an upstanding column, a tool-driving unit vertically movable on the column, and a pair of guide rails on a front surface of the column to extend vertically thereon and horizontally spaced apart from each other for guiding the upward and downward movement of the tool-driving unit. The tool-driving unit includes a lift frame on the guide rails and a tilting-type turret head which is supported on a front surface of the lift frame and is rotatable about an axis inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the frame in a horizontal plane. One of the pair of guide rails is relatively disposed forwardly of the other guide rail, so that the individual guide rails both assume positions close to the turret head thereby to minimize the amount of overhang of the tool-driving unit.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, wherein a semiconductor substrate is vertically etched to form a groove, antioxidant insulating films are formed on the side walls of the groove, and local oxidation is performed. Lateral extrusion of an oxide film which is a so-called bird's beak and a projection of the oxide film which is a so-called bird's head are substantially eliminated. As a result, the active region of the transistor, that is, the element formation region may not be narrowed, providing high packing density and high precision. Furthermore, the surface of the semiconductor substrate is flattened to prevent short-circuiting and disconnections of wiring layers. Stable manufacturing process provides a high yield of the semiconductor device. Electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device are greatly improved.

According to one embodiment, a substrate processing method is disclosed. The above method includes: grinding an outer edge portion on a back surface of a semiconductor wafer with a semiconductor element formed on its front surface with a first grindstone or blade to thereby form an annular groove; grinding a projecting portion on an inner side of the groove with a second grindstone to thereby form a recessed portion integrally with the groove on the back surface of the semiconductor wafer; and grinding a bottom surface of the recessed portion including a ground surface made by the second grindstone with a third grindstone.

An imaging apparatus for imaging a first object at a normal distance and a second object nearer than the first object readily with high precision. The imaging apparatus has an imaging lens, an imaging device for capturing an image formed by the imaging lens, and a camera control unit. The imaging lens is a multifocal lens and contains a first lens portion having a first focal length for imaging the first object (e.g., the user of the imaging apparatus) at a normal distance and a second lens portion having a second focal length for imaging the second object (e.g., a bar code) nearer than the first object. The first and second lens portions are arranged on the same plane and formed in one piece. The information collected by imaging the second object is used for processing such as communications or displays.
