    摘要: In a method of processing a substrate, in a second step, only some of a plurality of altered portions are exposed from an opening portion of a mask, and the remaining portions are not exposed. In this case, at the time of etching in a third step, an etching rate may be made different between the altered portions exposed from the opening portion of the mask and the altered portions which are not exposed. Accordingly, it becomes easier to obtain a desired processed shape by adjusting the altered portions exposed from the opening portion of the mask and the altered portions which are not exposed.

    摘要: A magnetically actuated MEMS switch 100 includes a first magnetic core portion 120, a first signal line 15, a first contact point 16, a second magnetic core portion 220, a second signal line 25, a second contact point 26, and a first coil portion 111 and a second coil portion 211 serving as a magnetic field applying portion that causes a current to flow in conductor coil to apply a magnetic field to the first magnetic core portion 120 and the second magnetic core portion 220. The first contact point 16 is displaced depending on the presence or absence of a magnetic field applied by the magnetic field applying portion. Connection and disconnection between the first contact point 16 and the second contact point 26 are switched in response to displacement of the first contact point 16.

    摘要: A thin-film capacitor including a stacked body having a lower electrode layer, a plurality of dielectric layers stacked on the lower electrode layer, one or more internal electrode layers interposed between the dielectric layers, and an upper electrode layer that is stacked on the opposite side of the lower electrode layer with the dielectric layers and the internal electrode layers interposed between, and a cover layer that covers the stacked body. The stacked body includes opening portions that have the lower electrode layer, opens upward in a stacking direction, and has a side surface formed to include an inclined surface. The cover layer is stacked on the inclined surface of the stacked body. A curved surface with a predetermined shape is formed on the inclined surface for each pair of layers including the dielectric layer forming the inclined surface and the electrode layer, forming the inclined surface.

    摘要: In a thin-film capacitor, a first extraction electrode provided along a side surface of a first groove portion is in contact with a first electrode layer and is not in contact with a second electrode layer. Also, a second extraction electrode provided along a side surface of a second groove portion is in contact with the second electrode layer exposed on the side surface of the second groove portion and is not in contact with the first electrode layer. Thus, a capacitor structure in which the first electrode layer in contact with the first extraction electrode and the second electrode layer in contact with the second extraction electrode are laminated with a dielectric layer therebetween is formed between the first groove portion and the second groove portion.
