  • Publication number: 20240074196
    Abstract: A memory pillar penetrates first conductors that are aligned in a first direction separately from each other. A first member penetrates the first conductors in the first direction and has a first portion and second portions. The first portion extends in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The second portions are aligned spaced apart in the second direction on an upper surface of the first portion. A length of each second portion in a third direction intersecting with the first and second directions is shorter than a length of the first portion in the third direction. The first member further includes a bridge that is positioned on the upper surface of the first portion and between two neighboring ones of the second portions and extends on the upper surface of the first portion across both ends of the first portion.

  • Patent number: 10413895
    Abstract: When the amount of coating is increased in a two-layer catalyst or the like containing two noble metals in respective different layers, gas diffusivity in the catalyst and use efficiency of a catalytic active site are reduced to thereby reduce purification performance. In view of this, an organic fiber having a predetermined shape is used as a pore-forming material in formation of an uppermost catalyst coating layer of a multi-layer catalyst, to thereby form an uppermost catalyst coating layer having a high-aspect-ratio pore excellent in connectivity and therefore excellent gas diffusivity.
