摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of forming an insulating layer on a first conductive layer deposited on a semiconductor substrate, treating the surface of the insulating layer and the exposed surface of the first conductive layer with a gas plasma containing halogen atoms, and depositing selectively a conductive material by vapor growth on the exposed surface of the first conductive layer so as to form a second conductive layer. The gas plasma containing halogen atoms can be formed by introducing a gas containing halogen atoms into the treatment chamber housing the sample, and applying high frequency power. The gas plasma containing halogen atoms can be formed by introducing a gas containing halogen atoms into the treatment chamber to adsorb the halogen atoms on the inner wall of the chamber, and applying high frequency power. Alternatively, the gas plasma can be formed by applying high frequency power after placing the sample and a halogen containing material inside the chamber. By treatment with the gas plasma containing halogen atoms, a second conductive layer can be deposited with good selectivity.

A deficiency candidate detection circuit detects a deficient pixel candidate by comparing the image signal of a target pixel with the image signals of peripheral pixels, and address information of the deficient pixel candidate is stored in a position memory circuit. A deficiency determining circuit repeats the determination of a deficient pixel a number of times based on the address information stored in the position memory circuit, and determines address information of a deficient pixel from the continuity of the determination results. A deficiency registering circuit registers the determined address information in the position memory circuit. A deficiency correction circuit corrects the image signal of the deficient pixel according to the registered address information of the deficient pixel.

In a vehicle equipped with an engine and a regenerative system, the quantity of energy storage by the regenerative system is scheduled, and fuel efficiency and driving ease are controlled. If the destination of a vehicle and a route to reach it are not indicated, automatic scheduling is performed. Vehicle scheduling is performed by predicting the distribution of height positions the vehicle is predicted to reach at future points of time and using the representative value of the height at each point of time.
