摘要:
In a transistor of the invention, at a boundary between gate oxide 112 formed on a silicon substrate 101 of a device formation region 10 and a device isolation film 110 adjoining the gate oxide 112, a thickness D′ of the gate electrode 114 is set larger than a uniform thickness D of the gate electrode 114 on the gate oxide 112. A height difference A between a surface of the gate oxide 112 and a surface of the device isolation film 110, a width B of a step portion 110b of the device isolation film, and the thickness D of the gate electrode 114 in its uniform-thickness portion satisfy relationships that D>B and A/D+(1−(B/D)2 )0.5>1. By ion implantation via the gate electrode 114 and the gate oxide 112, an impurity is added into a surface portion of the silicon substrate 101 at an end portion 11 of the device formation region, the impurity having concentrations higher than in the surface portion of the silicon substrate 101 in the electrode uniform portion 12 of the device formation region. The transistor can be prevented from occurrence of the inverse narrow channel effect and kink characteristics, thus being suitable for scale-down of LSIs, and yet can be manufactured with less steps.

A process of manufacturing an electron microscopic sample comprising the steps of: (a) forming a mask layer for covering an object region to be analyzed of a semiconductor layer and/or a conductive layer which have/has been patterned into a desired configuration; (b) reducing a periphery region surrounded the object region to be analyzed in a depth direction by using the mask layer; (c) removing the mask layer and forming an etch stop layer over the object region to be analyzed and the periphery region; and (d) polishing the semiconductor layer and/or the conductive layer in the object region to be analyzed down to the level of the surface of etch stop layer lying on the reduced periphery region.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a light controlling sheet in use for optical indicators which comprises louver elements including an arbitrary pattern of walls which are parallel to each other and so opaque as to absorb incident light; transparent layers for permitting the incident light to pass therethrough and light reflection layers for reflecting the incident light. The transparent layers and the light reflection layers are mutually interposed between the walls of the louver element. The oblique light from the light source strikes the side surfaces of the walls, while the substantially parallel light from the light source passes through the transparent layers toward the observer. The extraneous light is reflected at the front surface of the light reflection layers so that the light controlling sheet is bright and stands out clearly.

摘要:
Substrates made of a metal or an alloy are bonded by coating a brazing flux incorporating a metallic powder or a metal compound powder on the surface of the substrate having a melting point of higher than 700.degree. C.; and heating them at a temperature higher than a melting point of the flux but lower than a melting point of the metal of the metallic powder or the metal compound powder whereby a molten crystallization and a mutual diffusion are caused between the substrates and the metal activated by the molten flux.
