摘要:
Defects in element forming regions on which memory cells of a non-volatile memory are formed are to be diminished to reduce leakage current. End portions of element forming regions with non-volatile memory cells formed thereon are extended a length D by utilizing the region which underlies a dummy conductive film, whereby a stress induced from an insulating film which surrounds the element forming regions is concentrated on the extended region. As a result, defects do not extend up to the regions where memory cells are formed and therefore it is possible to reduce leakage current in the memory cells.

An insulating film for protecting an upper portion of a control gate electrode is constituted by a silicon oxide film, and thereby stress affecting a gate oxide film and a substrate that is located below a bottom portion thereof is reduced. Further, an etching prevention film consisting of a silicon nitride film is formed on a sidewall of the silicon oxide film, and thereby it is possible to prevent the sidewall of the silicon oxide film from being etched in a hydrofluoric acid cleaning step after processing of a gate electrode.

At least not less than one capacitor formation trench providing an uneven surface is formed on the surface of a capacitor formation region. Thus, the surface area of a capacitor is increased, which enables improvement of the capacitance of the capacitor per unit area. Further, by forming the capacitor formation trench and an element formation trench that are formed in the surface of the semiconductor substrate by the same step, it is possible to simplify the manufacturing process. Whereas, a dielectric film of the capacitor in the capacitor formation region and a high-voltage gate insulating film in a MISFET formation region are formed by the same step; alternatively, the dielectric film of the capacitor in the capacitor formation region and a memory gate interlayer film between a polysilicon layer and a polysilicon layer in the memory cell formation region are formed by the same step.

摘要:
When a user commands a microprocessor, using a remote control, to output information about a video and audio signal output device itself to a monitor device, the microprocessor superimposes, on video signals decoded by a decoder, video signals of a terminal connection information image for displaying, on the monitor device, color images corresponding to output signals from respective output terminals of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) in a VGA terminal or a BNC terminal so as to form and output combined video signals to the monitor device. Thus, e.g. if the monitor device has multiple video signal input terminals for inputting output signals from the respective output terminals of R, G and B, and if no signal is input from one of the input terminals, the user can confirm the input terminal, from which no signal is input, by just watching the screen of the monitor device without confirming the actual connection of the input terminals.
摘要:
A TV receiver comprises: a tuner connected to a unidirectional antenna or a smart antenna; a reception control unit for outputting, to the tuner, a channel control signal to command a channel, and outputting, to the smart antenna, a receiving direction control signal to command a receiving direction; and an antenna selection switch for a user to select the either antenna. The reception control unit switches its control mode between a unidirectional antenna mode and a smart antenna mode. In the unidirectional antenna mode, the reception control unit outputs a channel control signal to the tuner. In the smart antenna mode, the reception control unit outputs the channel control signal and the receiving direction control signal to the tuner and the smart antenna, respectively, for controlling the TV signal reception. This TV receiver can properly switch the antenna control mode, depending on the kind of antenna selected by the user.
摘要:
A television receiver comprises a tuner connected to a unidirectional antenna or a multi-directional antenna, and a microprocessor for controlling a reception process of the television receiver. The microprocessor outputs, to the connected antenna, a receiving direction control signal for commanding a receiving direction, and determines, on the basis of signal intensities of the television signal received by the tuner, which antenna is connected to the tuner. If the microprocessor determines that the unidirectional antenna is connected to the tuner, the microprocessor outputs, to the tuner, a channel control signal to command the tuner for a channel to be selected, while if the microprocessor determines that the multi-directional antenna is connected to the tuner, the microprocessor outputs, to the tuner, both the channel control signal and the receiving direction control signal. This television receiver can properly perform its television signal reception processes, depending on the kind of antenna connected thereto.
摘要:
In a method for treating a combustion exhaust gas from a waste burning facility, the exhaust gas has its temperature lowered to 180-230.degree. C., in a temperature lowering unit, is freed of dust in a dry dust collector, passed through a dioxin and NOx removing unit using a vanadium oxide-based catalyst and, thereafter, the exhaust gas at 180-230.degree. C. is further passed through a heat exchanger to effect heat recovery. The vanadium oxide-based catalyst is a vanadium oxide alone or the combination thereof either with an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tin, yttrium, boron and lead or with gold. In addition, a tungsten oxide may be used. These catalysts are preferably carried on titania for use. The method and an apparatus for implementing it require a simple system configuration and yet assure high thermal efficiency while achieving efficient removal of dioxins and nitrogen oxides.

An air-fuel ratio control device for an vehicle engine, by which the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to a vehicle engine is changed. The device sets the air-fuel ratio to a lean mixture when the engine coolant temperature is higher than a predetermined value and the vehicle speed is higher than a value determined by a time elapsed after engine startup.
