The invention provides a semiconductor element having a semiconductor junction composed of silicon-based films, at least one of the silicon-based films containing a microcrystal. The microcrystal is located in at least one interface region of the silicon-based film containing the microcrystal and has no orientation property.

A film of zinc oxide electrochemically deposited from an aqueous solution is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than 150° C. and equal to or lower than 400° C. in a nitrogen or inert gas atmosphere that contains oxygen, thereby obtaining a zinc oxide film that is low in electric resistance without impairing the light transmittance of the zinc oxide film.
摘要:
A film, typically a silicon-based film, is formed on a substrate by means of a plasma CVD process using a high frequency wave in a condition where a resistance element made of a different material than that of the substrate is provided on the electric path between the substrate and the earth. The resultant film shows a high quality and an improved adhesion strength while it can be formed at a practically high rate.

摘要:
A silicon-based film is formed superimposing a direct-current potential on the high-frequency power to set the potential of the high-frequency power feed section to a potential which is lower by V1 than the ground potential; the V1 satisfying |V2|≦|V1|≦50×|V2|, where V2 is the potential difference from the ground potential, produced in the electrode in the state the plasma has taken place under the same conditions except that the direct-current potential is not superposed on the high-frequency power and the electrode is brought into a non-grounded state. This can provide a silicon-based film having superior characteristics at a high film formation rate, and a semiconductor device making use of this silicon-based film, having superior adherence, environmental resistance, and can enjoy a short tact time at the time of manufacture.

Compositions having an effect of promoting gastric emptying. These compositions comprise a lipase which was found to have an effect of promoting gastric emptying together with lipase activity-free ingredient(s) acting on the digestive tracts such as a prokinetic, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist, a proton pump inhibitor and/or a stomachic ingredient. They are efficaciously employed as medicaments for ameliorating or treating chronic gastrointestinal symptoms such as sinking feelings, heartburn and heaviness in the stomach, i.e., complaints about the digestive tracts.
