摘要:
In a silicon microphone, a corrugation is formed in a conductive layer between a center portion forming a diaphragm and a periphery, wherein the corrugation is formed on an imaginary line connecting a plurality of supports formed in a circumferential direction of the conductive layer, whereby it is possible to increase the rigidity of the conductive layer; hence, distortion or deformation may hardly occur in the conductive layer irrespective of variations of stress applied thereto. Alternatively, a planar portion is continuously formed on both sides of a step portion in the plate so as to increase its rigidity, wherein a plurality of holes are uniformly formed and arranged in the planar portion by avoiding the step portion. Thus, it is possible to realize a high sensitivity and uniformity of performance and characteristics in the silicon microphone.

In a capacitor microphone, a diaphragm is positioned opposite to a fixed electrode for covering inner holes of a ring-shaped support, wherein when the diaphragm is deflected to approach the fixed electrode due to electrostatic attraction upon application of a bias voltage, internal stress that occurs on the diaphragm is canceled by compressive stress that is applied to the diaphragm in advance. The diaphragm is formed using a multilayered structure including a first thin film and a second thin film whose internal stress differs from the internal stress of the first thin film, thus adjusting the total internal stress thereof. The diaphragm can be formed in such a way that a center layer having a single-layered structure is sandwiched between first and second coating layers having controlled residual tensions and resistance against hydrofluoric acid.

The present invention provides a condenser microphone, in which, with a simple manufacturing process, vibration characteristics of a diaphragm are improved, and a parasitic capacitance occurring between the diaphragm and a back plate is reduced, thus improving sensitivity. Specifically, the diaphragm having a gear-like shape including a center portion and a plurality of arms and the back plate having a gear-like shape including a center portion and a plurality of arms are positioned opposite to each other above a substrate, wherein the arms of the diaphragm and the arms of the back plate are not positioned opposite to each other. Alternatively, it is possible to independently support the diaphragm and the back plate above the substrate. Furthermore, it is possible to support the back plate above the substrate by means of a plurality of supports inserted into a plurality of holes formed in the center portion of the diaphragm.

A vibration transducer is constituted of a substrate, a diaphragm having a conductive property, a plate having a conductive property, and a plurality of first spacers having pillar shapes which are formed using a deposited film having an insulating property joining the plate so as to support the plate relative to the diaphragm with a gap therebetween. It is possible to introduce a plurality of second spacers having pillar shapes support the plate relative to the substrate with a gap therebetween, and/or a plurality of third spacers having pillar shapes which support the diaphragm relative to the substrate with a gap therebetween. When the diaphragm vibrates relative to the plate, an electrostatic capacitance formed therebetween is varied so as to detect vibration with a high sensitivity. The diaphragm has a plurality of arms whose outlines are curved so that the intermediate regions thereof are reduced in width.

There is provided a mixing recorder which enables the user to readily produce music using overdubbing and/or other recording techniques while suppressing degradation of sound quality to the minimum and enables the user to easily find out his/her desired mixing result from a large number of mixing results obtained in the process of mixing. An audio signal is input, and a source file is read out from a memory card and an audio signal is reproduced based on the source file. The input audio signal and the reproduced audio signal are mixed into a mixed signal, which is then stored as a new source file in the memory card. The source file stored in advance in the memory card is backed up before the new source file is stored in the memory card, and in the back-up, the source file is automatically backed up by generating a file given a new name associated with a name of a source file to be backed up and having the same contents as the contents of the source file.
摘要:
Regions of n.sup.+ - and p.sup.+ -types of a semiconductor device are interconnected with a laminated wiring having a low wiring resistance. On the surface of a semiconductor substrate (10), an insulating film (20) is formed covering a field insulating film (12). Contact holes for the n.sup.+ - and p.sup.+ -type regions are formed in the insulating film (20) at areas corresponding to the n.sup.+ - and p.sup.+ -type regions. Thereafter, a refractory metal layer (30A) such as Ti for forming an ohmic contact having a thickness of 100 angstroms or less, an impurity diffusion preventing conductive layer (32A) such as TiN layer, and a refractory metal layer or refractory metal silicide layer (34A) such as W or WSi layer, are formed sequentially in this order from the bottom. A laminated structure of these layers (30A, 32A, 34A) is patterned to form a wiring layer (36). The laminate is subjected to rapid thermal annealing for ohmically contacting the laminate to the n.sup.+ and p.sup.+ -type regions.

A field insulating film and a gate insulating film are formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, and thereafter contact holes for a source and drain are formed in the gate insulating film. Polycrystalline Si containing impurities are deposited on the substrate and patterned to form source, gate, and drain electrode layers. The source and drain regions are formed by implanting impurity ions and doping the impurities in the source and drain electrode layers to the substrate surface. An interlayer insulating film having a flat surface is thereafter formed on the substrate, and contact holes are formed in the interlayer insulating film by selective etching. The etching depths of the contact holes are generally the same, preventing an excessive etching of the contact hole for the gate electrode.

There is provided a portable mixing recorder which enables a user to readily produce music using overdubbing and/or other recording techniques while suppressing degradation of sound quality to the minimum without excessive concern for space restriction. An input analog audio signal is converted to a digital audio signal by an A/D converter section. A decoder reads out a compressed audio signal from an original source file stored in a memory card, and then extends the compressed audio signal to a digital audio signal. A mixing section mixes the digital audio signal obtained by the A/D conversion by the A/D converter section and the digital audio signal obtained by the extension by the decoder. An encoder compresses the digital audio signal obtained by the mixing by the mixing section to a compressed audio signal (mixed file). The mixed file obtained by the compression by the encoder is stored as a new source file in the memory card.
摘要:
A lateral PNP transistor PB and a lateral NPN transistor NB are serially connected between an input terminal and a reference potential (ground potential). In the transistor PB, a diode D1 is formed. In the transistor NB, a diode D3 is formed. When an ESD of +2000 V is input, the transistor NB turns on, whereas when an ESD of −2000 V is input, the transistor PB turns on. The level of a positive signal capable of being input is limited by the inverse breakdown voltage (e.g., 18 to 50 V) of the diode D3, whereas the level of a negative signal capable of being input is limited by the inverse breakdown voltage (e.g., 13 to 15 V) of the diode D1.
