  • Patent number: 7205640
    Abstract: In an inverse-stagger MOSFET (1), a gate insulating layer (4) made of amorphous aluminum oxide is so formed as to face a channel layer (5) which serves as the semiconductor layer, and which is made of zinc oxide. With this arrangement, a defect level at an interface between the channel layer (5) and the gate insulating layer (4) is reduced, thereby obtaining performance equivalent to that of a semiconductor apparatus in which all the layered films are crystalline. This technique is applicable to a staggered MOSFET and the like, and has high versatility.

  • Patent number: 6810548
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus of the present invention includes a roll brush for scrubbing the surface of the substrate, and an ultrasonic nozzle for blowing an aqueous cleaning solution against the surface of the substrate and generating an ultrasonic wave, wherein the roll brush and the ultrasonic nozzle are provided so as to oppose one another so that the substrate can be set in between. With the synergetic effects of brush scrubbing cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning and shower-cleaning, the precision cleaning of the upper surface of the substrate can be performed at a sufficient level of cleanliness. Moreover, in a state where the substrate to be cleaned is set, the roll brush can be cleaned automatically by the ultrasonic nozzle, and it is therefore possible to maintain the roll brush at high level of cleanliness without requiring maintenance operations.

  • Patent number: 6497240
    Abstract: To provide an ultrasonic cleaning device (1) that ensures stable operation of a vibrating element for generating ultrasonic without a complex structure and distribution of a great quantity of a cleaning liquid and (2) that is capable of cleaning upper and lower surfaces of a cleaning target easily, an ultrasonic cleaning section of the device is provided with an upper cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle and a lower cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle for projection of ultrasonic. The upper cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle supplies an upper surface cleaning liquid to an upper surface of a glass substrate. The lower cleaning-liquid-supply nozzle supplies the lower surface cleaning liquid to a lower surface of the substrate in a form of shower to which ultrasonic has been projected.
