Abstract:
A crystal growth apparatus comprises a reaction vessel holding a melt mixture containing an alkali metal and a group III metal in a vessel space thereof, a porous member holding a metal melt by a surface tension thereof in a path through which a vapor of the alkali metal in contact with the metal mixture in the vessel space escapes to an external space, the porous member further supplying a nitrogen source gas fed from outside thereto further to the reaction vessel therethrough and through the metal melt by a pressure difference formed between the vessel space in the reaction vessel and the external space, and a heating apparatus heating the melt mixture to a crystal growth temperature.
Abstract:
A sensor module maintaining high detection accuracy. Correction data of a detected magnetic field is updated only in a case that a fluctuation band acquired from an output signal of an acceleration sensor is less than a threshold value and a difference between an azimuth angle acquired from an output signal of a terrestrial magnetism sensor and an inclination angle acquired from an output signal of acceleration sensor is less than the threshold value. Therefore, the correction data is updated only in a case that a magnetic field at a position of a mobile object is stably detected, and an accuracy of the correction data can be maintained.

Abstract:
A magnetic sensor including sensor bridge circuits, each including a pair of magnetic field detectors and a pair of fixed resistors. The magnetic field detectors in each bridge circuit are located on the same inclined surface, while the fixed resistors are each located on a different inclined surface. The inclined surface configuration reduces the number of fabrication steps necessary to fabricate the magnetic sensor.

Abstract:
A method of forming a multilayer interconnection structure includes the steps of forming a contact hole in an interlayer insulation film, depositing the contact hole by a conductive plug of a refractory element, applying a sputter-etching process to the interlayer insulation film to form a tapered part at a top part of the contact hole while using the conductive plug as an etching stopper, and filling the tapered part of the contact hole by a conductor material by a sputtering process.
