  • Publication number: 20140035016
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device including, on the same semiconductor substrate, a transistor element, a capacitor, and a resistor. The capacitor is formed on an active region, and the resistor is formed on an element isolation region, both formed of the same polysilicon film. By CMP or etch-back, the surface is ground down while planarizing the surface until a resistor has a desired thickness. Owing to a difference in height between the active region and the element isolation region, a thin resistor and a thick upper electrode of the capacitor are formed to prevent passing through of a contact.

  • Patent number: 8237222
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a high withstanding voltage MOSFET, a region to be doped with impurities and a region to be doped with no impurity are provided when ion implantation of the impurities is performed in the channel forming region, for controlling a threshold voltage. The region to be doped with no impurity is suitably patterned so that impurity concentration of the channel forming region near boundaries between a well region and a source region and between the well region and a drain region having the same conductivity type as the well region may be increased, to thereby induce a reverse short channel effect. By canceling a short channel effect with the reverse short channel effect induced by the above-mentioned method, the short channel effect of the high withstanding voltage MOSFET may be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7667361
    Abstract: An electric motor has a rotor having an end portion and a recessed portion formed at the end portion. A rotational shaft is mounted to the rotor. A stator covers an outer peripheral portion of the rotor and forms a magnetic field that generates a torque around the rotational shaft to thereby rotate the rotational shaft and the rotor. A bearing rotatably supports the rotational shaft and is entirely spaced-apart from the end portion of the rotor in an axial direction of the rotational shaft. A slider is slidably mounted around the rotational shaft and supports rotation of the rotational shaft about a rotational axis thereof. The slider is interposed between the bearing and the rotor so that a portion of the slider is entirely contained in the recessed portion of the rotor and the remaining portion of the slider is disposed in the space between the bearing and the rotor and in contact with the bearing.
