Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a boundary region between first and second regions, first active patterns on the first region, second active patterns on the second region, and an isolation insulating pattern on the boundary region between the first and second active patterns. A width of at least some of the first active patterns have different widths. Widths of the second active patterns may be equal to each other. A bottom surface of the isolation insulating pattern includes a first bottom surface adjacent to a corresponding first active pattern, a second bottom surface adjacent to a corresponding second active pattern, and a third bottom surface between the first bottom surface and the second bottom surface. The third bottom surface is located at a different height from those of the first and second bottom surfaces with respect to a bottom surface of the substrate.

In one embodiment, a lung window apparatus comprises an open window having the upper and lower parts open, a cover glass placed over the upper part and lung tissue coming in contact with the lower part; an aspiration tube extending from one side of the open window to an aspiration apparatus enabling the inside of the open window to be in a vacuum state; and a tilting mount placing unit extending from one side of the open window having a tilting mount to enable the cover glass and an object lens of a confocal microscope system to stay parallel to each other.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a fin structure which vertically protrudes from a substrate and extends in a first direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate. The fin structure includes a lower pattern and an active pattern vertically protruding from a top surface of the lower pattern. The top surface of the lower pattern includes a flat portion substantially parallel to the top surface of the substrate. The lower pattern includes a first sidewall extending in the first direction and a second sidewall extending in a second direction crossing the first direction. The first sidewall is inclined relative to the top surface of the substrate at a first angle greater than a second angle corresponding to the second sidewall that is inclined relative to the top surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided which is configured such that an arcuate section may be formed from a suction end of a wrap to a first point to increase a suction volume, and a logarithmic spiral section in which a wrap thickness increases may be formed from a second point to a discharge end of the wrap. This may increase a volume ratio of the compressor so as to increase a capacity of the compressor and prevent damage to the wrap due to a high compression ratio operation, thereby enhancing reliability of the compressor.
