  • Patent number: 8487365
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a substrate, a lower gate layer, a stacked body, a dummy electrode layer, an insulating film, and a channel body. The lower gate layer is provided above the substrate. The stacked body includes a plurality of insulating layers and a plurality of electrode layers alternately stacked above the lower gate layer. The dummy electrode layer is provided between the lower gate layer and the stacked body, made of the same material as the electrode layer, and thicker than each of the electrode layers. The insulating film includes a charge storage film provided on a side wall of a hole formed to penetrate through the stacked body and the dummy electrode layer. The channel body is provided on an inside of the insulating film in the hole.

  • Patent number: 8211783
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method is disclosed for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method can include multiply stacking an insulating layer and a conductive layer alternately above a base member. The insulating layer includes silicon oxide. The conductive layer includes silicon. In addition, the method can form a SiOC film on a stacked body of the insulating layers and the conductive layers, pattern the SiOC film, and make a hole in the stacked body by etching the insulating layers and the conductive layers using the patterned SiOC film as a mask.

  • Patent number: 7691367
    Abstract: The present invention provides branched polyalkylene glycols useful as a chemically modifying agent for physiologically active polypeptides, wherein two single-chain polyalkylene glycols are linked to a group having a cyclic structure other than a plane structure, and wherein a group having reactivity with an amino acid side chain, an N-terminal amino group or a C-terminal carboxyl group in a polypeptide or a group convertible into the group having reactivity is linked to the group having a structure other than a plane structure.
