  • Publication number: 20160056115
    Abstract: A technique is provided which can prevent the quality of an electrical signal from degrading in an optical semiconductor device. In a cross-section perpendicular to an extending direction of an electrical signal transmission line, the electrical signal transmission line is surrounded by a shielding portion including a first noise cut wiring, second plugs, a first layer wiring, first plugs, a shielding semiconductor layer, first plugs, a first layer wiring, second plugs, and a second noise cut wiring, and the shielding portion is fixed to a reference potential. Thereby, the shielding portion blocks noise due to effects of a magnetic field or an electric field from the semiconductor substrate, which affects the electrical signal transmission line.

  • Patent number: 9140329
    Abstract: The durability of a belt is enhanced by improving the strength of rubber itself while enhancing its peeling strength with respect to a cord, a fabric or a short fiber. A toothed belt (10) comprises a belt body (13) that is integrally formed by a tooth rubber (11) provided on one surface side thereof, a backing rubber (12) provided on the other surface side, and an embedded cord (14) spirally wound in a boundary portion between the tooth rubber (11) and the backing rubber (12) that extends in the longitudinal direction of the belt. A facing fabric (20) covering the tooth rubber (11) is adhered to a surface of the tooth rubber (11), or one surface of the belt body (13). The tooth rubber (11) is obtained by vulcanization-molding a rubber composition including rubber such as HNBR, resorcinol, a melamine compound, silica and the like.

  • Publication number: 20130277749
    Abstract: A first transistor required for decreasing leak current and a second transistor required for compatibility of high speed operation and low power consumption can be formed over an identical substrate and sufficient performance can be provided to the two types of the transistors respectively. Decrease in the leak current is required for the first transistor. Less power consumption and high speed operation are required for the second transistor. The upper surface of a portion of a substrate in which the second diffusion layer is formed is lower than the upper surface of a portion of the substrate where the first diffusion layer is formed.
