Abstract:
A mobile object detecting apparatus includes first radiation detecting means; and second radiation detecting means for radiating an electromagnetic wave having the same frequency as the electromagnetic wave radiated by the first radiation detecting means such that the radiated electromagnetic wave passes near a point in the first radiation detecting means from which the electromagnetic wave is radiated, and detecting a standing wave which is generated due to reflection of the radiated electromagnetic wave at an object; wherein a distance, over which the electromagnetic wave radiated by the first radiation detecting means travels until it reaches near the first radiation detecting means, corresponds to a distance of an integral multiple of a wave length of a half cycle of the electromagnetic waves radiated by the radiation detecting means plus a wave length of a predetermined period which is smaller than the half cycle.
Abstract:
With conventional device, the quantity of complex defects differs with each semiconductor device because the concentration of impurities intrinsically contained differs for each silicon wafer. Consequently, there is an undesirable variation in characteristics among the semiconductor devices. The invention provides a method for manufacturing PIN type diode which comprises an intermediate semiconductor region in which complex defects are formed. The method comprises introducing impurities (for example, carbon), which are the same kind of impurities intrinsically contained in the intermediate semiconductor region, into the intermediate semiconductor region, and irradiating the intermediate semiconductor region with helium ions to form point defects.
Abstract:
A field-effect semiconductor device has a gate pad at the outside of an area of a semiconductor element and island regions of a conductivity type opposite that of a substrate of the device at surfaces of the device under the gate pad. When voltage is applied to the semiconductor device's drain, depletion layers form and extend to the opposite side of the substrate from each of the island regions and become continuous with one another. Thus, the voltage applied to the device's insulation layers is limited and a high rated voltage of the device can be obtained. Further, this arrangement provides a wide contact area between the gate pad and the gate wiring because meshed gate wiring is formed in the area between the island regions. In this way, insulation film having no contact holes in the island regions and contact holes in the body region may be formed without replacing masks by alternating the opening with for introducing impurities in the island region and the opening width in the body region.

Abstract:
It is intended to provide a field-effective-type semiconductor device that can let low ON-resistance and non-excessive short-circuit current go together by effectively using its channel width and prevents device from destruction. In a field-effective-type semiconductor device, a semiconductor region arranged between gate electrodes 106 has stripe-patterned structure consisting of an N+ emitter region 104 and a P emitter region. The P emitter region is constituted by P channel region 103 of low concentration and P+ emitter region 100 of high concentration. The N+ emitter region 104, the P channel region 103, and the P+ emitter region 100 are in contact with the emitter electrode 109. Thereby, a channel width X is limited to the extent that is enough for ON current under normal operation state. That is, low ON-resistance and not excessive short-circuit current can go together in the field-effective-type semiconductor device.
Abstract:
A trench gate type semiconductor device has an ON resistance that has been reduced. The device has a drain electrode on one side of the substrate and has a drift region, channel region, source region, and a source electrode on the other side. The channel region is sandwiched between a trench gate region covered with insulating film. Current passes when a positive bias voltage is applied to the trench region, and current is cut off when a negative bias voltage is applied.
Abstract:
A side insulation layer is formed on a side wall of a gate electrode by oxidizing (or nitrizing) a substance of the gate electrode, so that the gate electrode is insulated from the semiconductor substrate with the side insulation layer and a gate insulation film. The gap between the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate is greater around the side wall of the gate electrode than around the center thereof. The gap between the side wall of the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate is densely filled with an insulating substance.
