  • Patent number: 10967265
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system comprises a main body apparatus, and a left controller and a right controller are attachably and detachably attached to the main body apparatus. Each of the left controller and the right controller is provided with a plurality of operation buttons, an analog stick and a vibrator. A player character is provided with a radar object, and a rod-like determination object having one end that is located at a center of the character object is rotated within a plane parallel to a horizontal plane in a virtual space. When the determination object touches an enemy character, the vibrator of the left controller or/and the right controller is caused to vibrate.

  • Patent number: 6601851
    Abstract: A card game toy includes a master card as an other self of a player and a plurality of monster cards, and is used for a card game that a battle is played by placing own and opponent cards in a proper positions of a battle field. The master card includes a character display portion to display a character, an ability-reducing indication to indicate an ability to reduce the attack power from the opponent, and a card-hand-ability indication to indicate an ability to use a card hand. The monster card includes a character display region to display a character, a position indication indicative of whether of a forward type or backward type, a physical-power indication indicative of a physical-power of the monster, and an ability indication indicative of an ability of the monster.

  • Patent number: 6419584
    Abstract: A card game apparatus includes a display to display a game scene. In the game scene, a first master display site and a second master display site are formed to respectively display therein a first master as the other self of a game player and a second master as the other self of an opponent. The game player is allowed to select a monster card from a card hand display site and present it to a monster card presenting site. Responsive to an instruction of attack with a monster card, an attack power of the monster card is compared with the HP of a designated second master or the monster presented in the monster card presenting site, thereby arithmetically determining a battle result.

  • Patent number: 5945703
    Abstract: In a semiconductor memory device, a capacitor with a trench having a laterally expanded bottom part is provided, the area above the laterally expanded part being provided for a transistor and cell separation, this resulting in an increase in the degree of integration. This laterally expanded part is formed by etching a silicon oxide film which is sandwiched between a substrate and a silicon layer, and is obtained by forming a depression in a semiconductor substrate beforehand. A silicon layer or another semiconductor substrate is laminated by bonding to a semiconductor substrate such as this into which is formed a depression, a trench which extends to this depression being formed, and the required films being formed to obtain the desired trench capacitor. By forming an oxide film on all of or the depression part of the semiconductor substrate into which is formed the depression, it is possible to eliminate the influence of radiation, by improving insulation properties.

  • Patent number: 5302542
    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate according to the present invention includes a first semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, an insulating film selectively formed in the first semiconductor substrate to define an exposed surface region, and a second semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type being bonded to the first semiconductor substrate. A DRAM cell formed by using the semiconductor substrate includes a trench capacitor formed in the first semiconductor substrate through both the second semiconductor substrate and the exposed surface region, and a transfer transistor formed in the second semiconductor substrate.

  • Patent number: 5038183
    Abstract: A p-type impurity diffusion layer is formed in a major surface region of an n-type silicon substrate. An insulating film is formed on the substrate, and a contact hole is formed in the insulating film at a position corresponding to the impurity diffusion layer. An n-type polysilicon layer is formed inside the contact hole. The p-type impurity diffusion layer and the n-type polysilicon layer constitute a diode. A p-n junction of the diode is formed on the major surface of the substrate or in the polysilicon layer above the major surface.
