  • Publication number: 20240088287
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first insulating film formed on an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate in an outer peripheral region so as to surround a cell region in plan view, and a resistive element formed on the first insulating film so as to surround the cell region in plan view. A second insulating film having a thickness thinner than that of the first insulating film is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate in the outer peripheral region. A dummy pattern is formed from a portion over the second insulating film to a portion over the first insulating film so as to cover a step occurring between the second insulating film and the first insulating film.

  • Publication number: 20080117093
    Abstract: A measurement system and a measuring method are provided in order to make a response and an accuracy of a Doppler system of a 2 frequency CW system or the like compatible with each other. A 2 frequency CW radar measures a relative speed and a distance between one's own vehicle and a measurement object by using a short time period sample data from a receiving signal to output as a high speed measurement result as a measurement of a high speed measurement mode. In parallel therewith, the frequency radar measures a relative speed and a distance between one's own vehicle and the measurement object by using a long period time sample data from the receiving signal to output as a low speed measurement result as a measurement of a low speed measurement mode. As a result, the processing operation apparatus can use the high speed measurement result when a processing of a high response is executed and can use the low speed measurement result otherwise.
