Abstract: In a static induction transistor, in addition to a first gate layer (4), a plurality of second gate layers (41) having a shallower depth and a narrower gap therebetween than those of the first gate layer (4) are provided in an area surrounded by the first gate layer (4), thereby an SiC static induction transistor with an excellent off characteristic is realized, while ensuring a required processing accuracy during production thereof.

Abstract: To reduce the field intensity on the termination surface, almost not affecting the on-characteristic, a drift layer is made of two layers, an n-layer and n− layer, and a termination region is formed on the surface of the above n− layer. An impurity concentration ratio between the n− layer and the n-layer is less than 1:2, and the thickness of the n− layer is less than that of a source n+ layer. Reliability can be secured even in a high temperature operation.

Abstract: An oil-bearing sludge processing method includes the steps of bringing a processing agent having calcium oxide as its main component into contact with oil-bearing sludge to cause a reaction between a water component of the oil-bearing sludge and the calcium oxide in the processing agent, thereby partially volatizing, dispersing and removing oil component by heat from the reaction and forming porous calcium hydroxide produced by the reaction in a form of a powdery and granular material that has adsorbed the oil component and has been covered with a calcium carbonate layer. The material does not leach out the oil component and is used as a soil fertilizer, a combustion accelerator, a construction material, a road material, etc.

Abstract: In a silicon carbide static induction transistor, at a surface part of a semiconductor substrate, a p-type gate region is formed partially overlapping a n-type source region, whereby the high accuracy in alignment between the gate region and the source region is not required, and the gate withstand voltage can be highly increased since the substrate is made of silicon carbide, which improves the yield of static induction transistors.

Abstract: To provide a field-effect transistor having a large power conversion capacity and its fabrication method by decreasing the leakage current between the source and the drain of a semiconductor device made of hexagonal-system silicon carbide when the gate voltage of the semiconductor device is turned off and also decreasing the electrical resistance of the semiconductor device when the gate voltage of the semiconductor device is turned on. The main current path of the field-effect transistor is formed so that the current flowing between the source and the drain of, for example, a field-effect transistor flows in the direction parallel with the {0001} plane and a channel forming plane is parallel with the {1120} plane. ?Selected Drawing!FIG.

Abstract: The photoconductive layer (3) has a triple-layer structure comprised of an upper layer (33) made of amorphous silicon containing germanium and carbon, a middle layer (32) made of amorphous silicon containing germanium, and a lower layer (31) made of amorphous silicon. The upper layer (33) formed between a surface layer (4) and the middle layer (32), and the lower layer (31) formed between the middle layer (32) and a barrier layer (2) serve to reduce the energy difference and the interfacial state between respective layers thus, high electrophotographic sensitivity for a longer wavelength light can be obtained, and sensitivity in the oscillation wavelength of a GaAlAs diode laser improves effectively.
