Abstract: A decrease in output power due to a foreign matter present on a base at the time of forming a thin film solid electrolyte layer is limited, and an increase in yield even when an area of a fuel battery cell is increased, is obtained. The fuel battery cell has a membrane electrode assembly including a lower electrode layer, first and second solid electrolyte layers, and an upper electrode layer formed on a support substrate. An interface between the first and second solid electrolyte layers is flat as compared with an interface between the lower electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer, and the second solid electrolyte layer has a thickness at which a leakage current between the first solid electrolyte layer and the second solid electrolyte layer is less than an allowable value even when an output voltage of the fuel battery cell is generated.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce a pitch of selection transistors to select two directions in a semiconductor substrate surface of a three-dimensional vertical semiconductor storage device to reduce a dimension in the semiconductor substrate surface. Gates of selection transistors extending in the same direction are formed by a different process for every other gate, so that the thickness of channel semiconductor layers of the selection transistors can be reduced to almost the same thickness of the thickness of an inversion layer while the channel semiconductor layers and an electrode are contacted over a wide area. On/off control can be executed independently on the channel semiconductor layers formed at two sidewalls of the gates of the selection transistors formed at a pitch of 2F. As a result, dimensions of two directions in the semiconductor substrate surface can be set to 2F without generating double selection.
