An image forming apparatus capable of producing a high quality halftone image stably and rendering faithful tonality. For a bilevel image, the apparatus smooths the boundary between black and white. For a multilevel image, the apparatus obviates solitary dots for thereby causing dots to concentrate. As a result, a bilevel image and a multilevel image are provided with a clear boundary.

A semiconductor device with a resistor element whose the resistance value can be adjusted to a desired value without changing dimensions thereof is provided. The resistor element is formed of a poly-Si layer formed on an insulator over a semiconductor substrate. An impurity is introduced into the poly-Si layer by the use of ion implantation. In the vicinity of both ends of the poly-Si layer forming the resistor element, silicide layers each made of cobalt silicide or the like are formed over an upper surface of the poly-Si layer. The area of one silicide layer is larger than that of the other silicide layer. By adjusting the area of the one silicide layer, the length between the silicide layers is adjusted and the resistance value of the resistor element can be adjusted without changing the shape of the poly-Si layer.
摘要:
In a circuit for converting an input signal Data1 of high frequency to an output signal Data4 of low frequency, a signal of the frequency band (for example, 10 GHz to 2.5 GHz) which can be processed only with a bipolar ECL circuit is processed with a bipolar ECL circuit. After the frequency of signal up to the maximum frequency which can be processed with a CMOS circuit is lowered, the signal is inputted to the CMOS circuit via a level conversion circuit in order to lower the frequency (for example, 2.5 GHz to 1.25 GHz). Thereby, power consumption of the semiconductor integrated circuit device, particularly the device including the Bi-CMOS circuit can be lowered while high-seed processing characteristic in the signal process of the circuit is maintained.

An image reading apparatus includes a reference pattern having slanting lines, which is provided outside a reading range and read by image sensors arranged at separate positions in a sub-scanning direction. A reference-position determining unit detects one of the slanting lines in the reference pattern based on image data output from one of the image sensors so that a position of the image data when one of the slanting lines is detected is determined as a reference position. First and second delay units have line memories which store image data read out from an original image having lines, the delay units delaying outputting of the image data from the line memories line by line. First and second determining units determine image data having color values at imaginary points. An error measurement unit selects one of the imaginary points whose image data has a minimum difference between the color values of the image data. First and second line correcting units output image data having the color values at a corrected position of each picture element by using an interpolation function, the interpolation function having a set of correction factors determined based on a distance between the selected imaginary point and the reference position.
