Abstract:
In a photomask inspecting method, a photomask is inspected on the basis of the difference between the polarized state of elliptical light produced upon superposition of two linearly polarized light beams having orthogonal polarization directions and passing through two different optical paths and the polarized state of elliptical light produced when two linearly polarized light beams are superposed on each other after a target portion of a photomask is set in the optical path of one of the linearly polarized light beams. A photomask inspecting apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A multi core optical fiber made of quartz glass comprising at least two cores the centers of which are arranged substantially on one line. The distances between the centers of the adjacent cores are substantially the same in the longitudinal direction. A first cladding covers the cores and the second cladding covers the first cladding and has a larger refractive index than the first one. The fiber has improved mechanical strength and low cross-talk even if the distance between the adjacent cores is short.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device in which a film of an insulator a conductor is closely deposited in a groove formed in a semiconductor substrate or an insulating or conductor layer thereon to planarize the surface thereof.A semiconductor device manufacturing process in which a specimen is selectively etched away through using a resist pattern as a mask, a pattern forming film is deposited by a plasma deposition technique on the specimen, and the resist film is removed, whereby the pattern forming film closed fills up a groove formed by etching to provide a planarized surface.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a semiconductor chip including a plurality of elements constituting multi-functional circuits and a control signal generating circuit incorporated within the semiconductor chip. The control signal generating circuit includes a variable resistance element which irreversibly changes its resistivity when a voltage having a magnitude larger than a specific level, is applied. The variable resistance element is connected in series with a fixed resistor which is further connected in parallel to the output electrodes of a field effect transistor. A control signal is applied to the input terminal of the transistor when the resistance of the variable resistance element is intended to change. An output terminal connected to the connection of the serial connected elements indicates logical "1" or "0" depending on whether the variable resistance element is in the high resistivity state or low resistivity state. In the semiconductor integrated circuit, the output of the control signal generating circuit is transmitted to at least one of the multi-functional circuits, so that it is activated or left deactivated.
Abstract:
A diversity system utilizing a plurality of branches has been found for an angle modulated digital signal transmission. The received signal on each branch is modulated with a local signal which has the same period as the digital signal, and satisfies the orthogonal relationship with each other. The modulated signals are combined by simply summing them, and the combined signal is differentially detected. In the case of two branches, said orthogonal local signals are .sqroot.2/T.multidot. sin (2.pi./T)t, and .sqroot.2/T.multidot. cos (2.pi./T)t, where T is the bit duration of the digital signal, and said local modulation is the amplitude modulation. The present invention can provide the same diversity effect as the prior maximal ratio combining system, although the present invention does not utilize a complicated cophasing means between each branches.
Abstract:
A D/A conversion system with a compensation circuit comprises a D/A converter for converting a digital input signal into an analog signal and a memory for storing a compensation data used for the compensation of the output of the D/A converter at an address corresponding to the digital input signal. The digital input signal is applied to the D/A converter and a signal corresponding to the digital input signal is applied to the memory. The output of the D/A converter is adjusted on the basis of the compensation data read out from the memory.
