  • Publication number: 20060022910
    Abstract: In a multifunction display device, a plurality of display units have a sheet-like or plate-like configuration and different displaying capabilities. A holding unit holds the plurality of display units. A power supply unit supplies power to the plurality of display units. In the multifunction display device, the plurality of display units, the holding unit, and the power supply unit are united, and the holding unit allows a display surface of each of the plurality of display units to be freely opened or closed in a rotatable manner.

  • Patent number: 6001720
    Abstract: A method for forming ohmic contact has the steps of a) a process for forming an insulating film having a predetermined thickness on a diffusive layer formed on a semiconductor substrate; b) a process for forming a mask on the insulating film; the mask having a small selective ratio with respect to the insulating film and having an opening portion for a contact hole; c) a process for implanting ions into the diffusive layer through the opening portion; d) a process for taking heat treatment to electrically activate the implanted ions; e) a process for completely removing the mask and forming the contact hole by simultaneously etching the mask and the insulating film exposed through the opening portion of the mask; and f) a process for making an electrode come in ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate exposed from the formed contact hole. In this method, the ohmic contact is formed with high accuracy with respect to a fine contact hole.

  • Patent number: 4436770
    Abstract: The oxynitride film according to the present invention contains Ga and/or Al and has O/N ratio of at least 0.15. This film is obtained by relying on, for example, chemical vapor deposition technique. The O/N ratio in the film may be varied by, for example, varying the distance between the substrate and the substance-supply source, or by varying the proportion of an oxidizing gas contained in a carrier gas. This film is used either as a surface passivation film of III-V compound semiconductors such as GaAs, or as an insulating film for active surface portions of IG-FET, or as an optical anti-reflective film.
