PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device which has a trench-type element separation structure with improved electric characteristics, and to provide its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: A groove 4 is covered with a first silicon oxide film 6 and heated. A joint 7 formed on the first silicon oxide film 6 is covered with a second silicon oxide film 8 and heated again. Thus, the first silicon oxide film 6 and the second silicon oxide film 8 are made to be high in density, and the groove 4 is covered with them as a rigid element isolation oxide film 9 with an uniform etching rate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming a porous low-permittivity layer. SOLUTION: A CVD process is introduced to a substrate to which a frame precursor and a porogen precursor are supplied. In the supply stop period of the frame precursor, the value of at least one deposition parameter which is negatively correlated with the density of a product of the CVD process decreases.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal alignment layer by which powders and particles are prevented from producing on an organic alignment layer and a patterning process can be conducted on an inorganic alignment layer so as to increase the latitude of design of the inorganic alignment layer. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the liquid crystal alignment layer includes a step to conduct an ion implantation process after furnishing a step to provide an organic or inorganic material layer on a substrate for the purpose of imparting alignment treatment to the organic or inorganic material layer. As the alignment treatment is a kind of noncontact method, it reduces probability of damaging the organic alignment layer so as to prevent the production of powder and particles. Furthermore, the inorganic material layer is formed on the substrate before the alignment treatment, and thereby the inorganic material layer is pattern formed before the alignment treatment.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data carrier which can correctly recognize a position relation of surface/backside judgement by a card reader side and independently have a first function corresponding to the surface side of a card and a second function corresponding to the backside individually. SOLUTION: A non-contact type data carrier 1 receives radio waves 20 transmitted from a card reader 1 by an antenna and an information communication part to acquire required power and information. Required processing is carried out by a control part based on the acquired information and information stored in a multi-value memory. By a surface/backside judging part, surface or backside of the data carrier 1 is detected based on the direction of electric current flowing in a coil L. Based on the detection result, different functions are carried out. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and structure for a wafer level package. SOLUTION: A plurality of spacer wall structures are formed in a semiconductor wafer or a light transmitting substrate, and the position of a sealant is precisely controlled by the formation of the plurality of spacer wall structures. An element size is determined by positions of a spacer wall and the sealant. Thereby, the distance between the sealant and a photosensitive region is shortened to carry out processes of completing the package of the wafer and scribing. After that, an increase in the number of dies is achieved, and its production capacity is enhanced. In addition to this, the height of the spacer wall is controlled by a semiconductor process, and the uniformity of the gap between the semiconductor wafer and the light transmitting substrate and the stability of the width of the sealant are controlled to enhance its yield.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bar circuit which reduces crosstalks and eddy currents in an integrated circuit. SOLUTION: The bar circuit comprises a first conductivity semiconductor substrate, a second conductivity first elongate well in the semiconductor substrate, and a second conductivity second elongated well in the semiconductor substrate. The second elongated well is under the first elongate well and adjacent to under the first elongated well, thereby connecting it with a barrier to cut off the crosstalks and eddy currents.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photolithographic and etching method for simplifying process by forming a conductive layer, having a large critical width in situ and forming a shallow trench isolation structure, in which the conductive layer having the larger critical width can be formed on a device having a large step. SOLUTION: In the photolithographic and etching method, a substrate having a conductive layer, a first mask layer and a second mask layer are formed sequentially as the conductive layer, and a patterned photoresist layer is formed on the substrate; with the mask of the photoresist layer, part of the second mask layer is removed to form a second mask layer, having a narrow upper part and a wide bottom part in the side face on the first mask layer; with the mask of the second mask layer, a part of the first mask layer is removed, and the photoresist layer is removed and using the mask of the first mask layer, part of the second mask layer and the conductive layer is removed to form a conductive pattern on the substrate; and finally the first mask layer is removed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method of reprocessing photoresist layers for preventing reflection prevention capability from being reduced in an oxysilicon nitride layer. SOLUTION: A silicon chip is provided, where the silicon chip has an insulating layer, bottom-section reflection prevention coating, and the photoresist layer on the coating. The photoresist layer has already been exposed and developed. To remove the greater part of the photoresist layer, wet etching work is carried out. To remove a cured residual photoresist material, low-temperature plasma treatment is executed, where the low-temperature plasma treatment prevents a change in the structure of reflection prevention coating. A new photoresist layer is formed on a bottom-section reflection prevention coating.
