Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to propose an etch channel sealing structure characterized by excellent impermeability to moisture and resistance to temporal change of the diaphragm in the pressure sensor produced according to the sacrificial layer etching technique, and to provide a pressure sensor characterized by excellent productivity and durability. After a very small gap is formed by the sacrificial layer etching technique, silicon oxide film is deposited by the CVD technique or the like, there by sealing the etch channel. Further, impermeable thin film of polysilicon or the like is formed to cover the oxide film. This allows an etch channel sealing structure to be simplified in the pressure sensor produced according to the sacrificial layer etching technique, and prevents entry of moisture into the cavity, thereby improving moisture resistance. Moreover, sealing material with small film stress reduces temporal deformation of the diaphragm.
Abstract:
A monolithic complementary semiconductor device comprising n-type and p-type well regions separated by a dielectric isolation region extending from the surface into the substrate region. The well region includes a highly doped buried region which is located at the bottom of the well region and separates an active region in the wall from the substrate region. The isolation region is deeper than the buried region. The well-to-well isolation is enhanced by the combination of the buried region and the deep dielectric isolation region. Packing density and the high speed operation can also be improved.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing ultra-pure water which comprises boiling a raw water to vaporize off the volatile components from the raw water, subsequently generating steam from the water, contacting the steam with a hydrophobic, porous, gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable membrane to make the steam permeate the membrane, and then condensing the steam, as well as to an apparatus for producing said ultra-pure water and a process for using said ultra-pure water.

Abstract:
According to the invention, there is provided a water cooled inverter structure forming a plurality of shallow cavities and deep cavities in a housing, fixing a bottom surface of power semiconductor modules to shallow cavities to form a shallow water channel and directly cooling the power semiconductor modules using this shallow water channel. Since cooling water flows fast in the shallow water channel, it is possible to improve a cooling efficiency and also reduce pressure loss using a deep water channel with deep cavities. Furthermore, providing a plurality of cavities makes it possible to reduce a size of the power semiconductor modules and provide a plurality of power semiconductor modules, thus improving reliability. It is possible to place a control board below the water channel to thermally cut off the control board from the power semiconductor modules, which makes it possible to reduce temperature of a control circuit.

A semiconductor device has a structure in which two semiconductor substrates are coupled to each other through a semiconductor oxide film and a metal silicide film, and a semiconductor element, for example, a bi-polar transistor is formed in the semiconductor substrate on the metal silicide film side, whereby a metal silicide layer having a high melting point is provided beneath one region of the bi-polar transistor for example, an n.sup.+ buried collector layer and in ohmic contact with the n.sup.+ buried collector layer. An electrical isolation between the adjacent semiconductor elements is made by an insulating layer.

A semiconductor element such as a thyristor or a transistor which is capable of withstanding a high voltage comprises a semiconductor substrate of a pnpn-four layer structure (for a thyristor) or of a npn-three layer structure (for a transistor). An intermediate p-type layer is composed of a low concentration layer region located adjacent to an n-type layer and a high concentration layer region located adjacent to the other n-type layer. The high concentration layer region is formed through diffusion of aluminium so that the maximum concentration thereof becomes at least equal to 5.times.10.sup.16 atoms/cm.sup.3. A method of manufacturing such semiconductor element is also disclosed.

Abstract:
In a semiconductor device, such as a diode and thyristor, having at least one pn junction between a pair of main surfaces, a first main electrode formed on the surface of one of the main surfaces and a second main electrode formed on the surface of the other one of the main surfaces, a semiconductor lattice defect is formed such that its lattice defect density increases gradually in the direction from the first main electrode to the second main electrode. Since the distribution of the carrier density in the conduction state can be flattened, the reverse recovery charge can be reduced substantially without causing the ON-state voltage to increase.
