Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a plurality of electrode films on a substrate, spaced from one another in a first direction. A charge storage film is provided on a side face the electrode films via a first insulating film. A semiconductor film is provided on a side face of the charge storage film via a second insulating film. The charge storage film includes a plurality of insulator regions contacting the first insulating film, a plurality of semiconductor or conductor regions provided between the insulator regions and another insulator region.

Abstract: A digital camera of the present invention includes a microcomputer 110 having a live view mode controlling so that image data generated by a CMOS sensor 130 or image data obtained by subjecting the image data generated by the CMOS sensor 130 to predetermined processing is displayed on a liquid crystal monitor 150 as a moving image in real time, and the microcomputer 110 controls so that movable mirrors 121a and 121b to enter an optical path of an image pickup optical system after the amount of light from a subject is obtained based on the image data generated by the CMOS sensor 130, a strobe 137 emits light, and measurement results of an AE sensor 133 are obtained. Due to this configuration, in a digital camera that includes a movable mirror and is capable of displaying a subject image in a live view through an electronic viewfinder, the operability thereof can be enhanced.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has an interconnection structure in which multilayer aluminum interconnection layers are connected through connection holes. A first aluminum interconnection layer is formed on a main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first aluminum interconnection layer has a surface layer which includes any of high melting point metal, high melting point metal compound, high melting point metal silicide, or amorphous silicon. An insulating layer is formed on the first aluminum interconnection layer, and has a through hole if formed extending to a surface of the first aluminum interconnection layer. A second aluminum interconnection layer is formed on the insulating layer and is electrically connected to the surface layer of the first aluminum interconnection layer through the through hole. The second aluminum interconnection layer includes a titanium layer, a titanium nitride layer and an aluminum alloy layer.
