PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber attitude detector and an optical fiber attitude detection method which enhance accuracy and work efficiency of positioning of an optical fiber. SOLUTION: The optical fiber attitude detector is provided with: an illuminator 4 as a light projection means which irradiates the optical fiber 1b and a fixing member 2 with light from the side opposite from the fixing member 2 with the optical fiber 1b interposed between the illuminator and the fixing member; a camera 3 as an imaging means which images the optical fiber 1b and the fixing member 2 from the side opposite from the fixing member 2 with the optical fiber 1b interposed between the camera and and the fixing member; and a control part 6 which detects attitude of the optical fiber 1b based on light intensity distribution of a side of the optical fiber 1b obtained by performing image processing of an image of the camera 3. Thus, since it is not necessary to check the attitude of the optical fiber 1b by visual observation, the accuracy and the work efficiency of positioning of the optical fiber 1b are enhanced in comparison with the case of checking the attitude of the optical fiber 1b by the visual observation.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device together with its manufacturing method, wherein a resistance value is adjusted with precision. SOLUTION: A thick silicon oxide film 2 is formed on a single crystal silicon substrate 1, and over it, a polysilicon layer 3a which, being of trapezoid where bottom side is longer, has such impurity distribution as an impurity concentration of phosphorus (P) becomes lower as going deeper under surface is formed. On the surface of polysilicon layer 3a, a silicon oxide film 4 is so formed that a film thickness is minimum near the interface between the polysilicon layer 3a and the silicon oxide film 2, while a polysilicon layer 3b comprising a not or phosphorous (P) is formed from over the silicon oxide film 4 on the polysilicon layer 3a across the silicon oxide film 2. Further, an inter-layer insulation film 5 is formed on such surface side of the single crystal silicon substrate 1 as the polysilicon layers 3a and 3b are formed, and the polysilicon layers 3a and 3b have a part of the silicon oxide film 4 and inter-layer insulation film 5 formed over them are removed, and connected electrically to aluminum wiring electrodes 6a and 6b, respectively.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To prevent the breaking of wire by improving the coverage of a wiring metallic film within a contact hole. CONSTITUTION: A via hole 6 is made in a second interlayer insulating film by anisotropic etching, and an SOG film 5 is made on the insulating film 4 and on the inner face of the via hole 6. Then, the SOG film 5 is removed by wet etching. At this time, the SOG film 5 is etched from the top, so the overetching time becomes longer, the upper part of the second interlayer insulating film 4 it is, and the sectional form of the via hole 6 gets tapered. Next, the second wiring metallic film 7 consisting of aluminum is accumulated, whereupon it is made with favorable coverage.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To facilitate a work and to improve the reverse withstand voltage characteristics of a device by a method wherein element formation regions are respectively covered with a mask provided with each sidewall on its side surfaces to inhibit the areas of the element formation regions from becoming narrow. CONSTITUTION:A thermal oxide film 2 is formed on the surface of a P-type Si substrate 1 and oxide films 2' only at element formation region parts are left by selective etching. Then, after a thermal oxide film 2'' is grown at a part, from which the film 2 is removed, an Si nitride film 3 is laminated. The film 3 is etched to form sidewalls (SWs) 13 consisting of an Si nitride film on the side surfaces of the films 2'. After boron is ion-implanted in surface parts 1a, field oxide films 5 and channel stopper regions 12 are formed by an oxidation treatment. The films 2' are removed by etching using a photoresist pattern to leave the SWs 13 and the element formation regions A are formed. MOSFETs are respectively formed at these regions A. Gate oxide films 8 are formed, gate electrodes 9 are respectively formed on them, phosphorus is ion- implanted using the electrodes 9 and the SWs 13 as masks to provide source and drain regions 10 and 11 and the SWs 13 are removed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the dimensional accuracy of the length of a channel even though the length of the channel is short by a method wherein sidewalls are used as marks in the feed of an impurity for the formation of an opposite conductivity type impurity region. CONSTITUTION:Sidewalls 14 are used as masks to cover a part which serves as a channel formation region. The accuracy of the lengths of the sidewalls 14 is affected by the respective fluctuations t and t' of the film thickness (t) of a thick oxide film 2' and the film thickness (t') of an Si nitride film 4 for sidewall formation use and a fluctuation in an etching (a side etching). In an etching process for the formation of the sidewalls 14, the sidewalls 14 are not etched at all their sides to come into contact to the side surfaces of the film 2' and the sides on the other side are etched only. Accordingly, the side etching affects one side only of the sidewalls. Therefore, an effect to the dimensional accuracy of a mask width, which is caused by a fluctuation in an etching treatment, is reduced by half.

CONSTITUTION:In a DI substrate 1, a conductive layer (polysilicon layer) 5 is arranged and installed at the outside of an insulating layer 3; an insulating layer (SiO2 layer) 6 used to electrically insulate this conductive layer 5 from a polysilicon layer 2 is formed between the conductive layer and the polysilicon layer; the insulating layer 3, an island-shaped region 4 and the conductive layer 5 are separated from the polysilicon layer 2 as a whole. The conductive layer 5 is formed in advance in a shape and with an area corresponding to an element to be formed in the island region 4.
