PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acceleration value and voltage measuring device, as well as, a manufacturing method of the acceleration value and voltage measuring device. SOLUTION: This acceleration value and voltage measuring device has a conductive plate on the upper face of a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer which is the second insulating layer on the upper face of the conductive plate and in which the upper face of the plate is exposed to the opening of the second insulating layer, conductive nanotubes that are bridged over the opening, and conductive contacts to the nanotubes.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide passive maximum acceleration and voltage measurement devices which are compact and do not need a power supply.SOLUTION: A device includes an electrically conductive plate 110 on a top surface of a first insulating layer 105; a second insulating layer 130 on a top surface of the conductive plate 110; and conductive nanotubes 180 suspended across an opening 135 in the second insulating layer 130. Because of acceleration perpendicular to the surface of the conductive plate 110, the nanotubes 180 are bent to be in contact with the conductive plate 110 and held by the van der Waals force.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illumination light in an immersion lithography stepper for particle or bubble detection. SOLUTION: Embodiments provide an immersion lithography exposure system comprising a wafer holder for holding a wafer, an immersion liquid for covering the wafer, an immersion head to dispense and contain the immersion liquid, and a light source adapted to lithographically expose a resist on the wafer. The system also comprises a light detector at a first location of the immersion head and a laser source at a second location within the immersion head. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device and structure having locally strained regions in the silicon active layer formed by increasing the thickness of underlying regions of a buried insulating layer separating the silicon active layer from the substrate. The stress transferred from the underlying thickened regions of the insulating layer to the overlying strained regions increases carrier mobility in these confined regions of the active layer. Devices formed in and on the silicon active layer may benefit from the increased carrier mobility in the spaced-apart strained regions.
