Abstract: To control an excess bias to an appropriate value in a light detection device. A solid-state image sensor includes a photodiode, a resistor, and a control circuit. In this solid-state image sensor, the photodiode photoelectrically converts incident light and outputs a photocurrent. Furthermore, in the solid-state image sensor, the resistor is connected to a cathode of the photodiode. Furthermore, in the solid-state image sensor, the control circuit supplies a lower potential to an anode of the photodiode as a potential of the cathode of when the photocurrent flows through the resistor is higher.

Abstract: A film deposition method uses a film deposition apparatus including a source gas supply part and a cleaning gas supply part. In the method, a source gas is adsorbed on a substrate by supplying the source gas from the source gas supply part without supplying a purge gas into the cleaning gas supply part. A reaction product is deposited on the substrate by supplying a reaction gas reactable with the source gas to the substrate on which the source gas is adsorbed without supplying the purge gas into the cleaning gas supply part.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a tire having a sidewall portion provided with a projecting marking is disclosed. A stencil plate for molding the projecting marking is made of a thin metallic plate whose thickness is 0.2 to 0.8 mm and mounted in a recess formed in a sidewall molding surface of the tire vulcanization mold. A concave marking part for molding the projecting marking is formed by press working upon the metallic plate. Edge portions of the stencil plate are turned back. The backward extension H2 of the turnback is substantially the same as the depth of the concave marking part.
