  • Publication number: 20120063146
    Abstract: In a spot light source 1 including a case 11, a heat radiator 12 and a light-emitter 18, the heat radiator 12 is formed to have a bowl shape including a bottom portion 12a and a side wall portion 12b extending from the peripheral edge of the bottom portion 12a, and the side wall portion 12b is made of light-transmissive ceramic. Light emitted by an LED element 18b of the light-emitter 18 is guided to the side wall portion 12b by a lens 18d so as to generate a leak light traveling sideways from the spot light source 1, which produces highly decorative effect.

  • Publication number: 20110012181
    Abstract: In a complete CMOS SRAM having a memory cell composed of six MISFETs formed over a substrate, a capacitor element having a stack structure is formed of a lower electrode covering the memory cell, an upper electrode, and a capacitor insulating film (dielectric film) interposed between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. One electrode (the lower electrode) of the capacitor element is connected to one storage node of a flip-flop circuit, and the other electrode (the upper electrode) is connected to the other storage node. As a result, the storage node capacitance of the memory cell of the SRAM is increased to improve the soft error resistance.
