Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a plurality of ejecting unit groups each including nozzles configured to eject liquid. The ejecting unit group configured to eject a liquid to be used in the printing is referred to as a to-be-used ejecting unit group. The ejecting unit group configured to eject a liquid not to be used in the printing is referred to as the non-use ejecting unit group. In a print mode with a non-use nozzle group in which any of the plurality of kinds of liquids is not used, the driving elements of the to-be-used ejecting unit group is supplied with the in-printing micro-vibration pulse in a period without ejection of the ink, and the driving elements of the non-use ejecting unit group is not supplied with the micro-vibration pulse even in the period without ejection of the ink.

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: According to one embodiment, the array chip includes a three-dimensionally disposed plurality of memory cells and a memory-side interconnection layer connected to the memory cells. The circuit chip includes a substrate, a control circuit provided on the substrate, and a circuit-side interconnection layer provided on the control circuit and connected to the control circuit. The circuit chip is stuck to the array chip with the circuit-side interconnection layer facing to the memory-side interconnection layer. The bonding metal is provided between the memory-side interconnection layer and the circuit-side interconnection layer. The bonding metal is bonded to the memory-side interconnection layer and the circuit-side interconnection layer.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a film forming apparatus includes a chamber configured to load a substrate, a stage configured to support the substrate, and a gas supplier configured to supply a gas into the chamber to form a film on the substrate. The device further includes a first detector configured to detect a first value that varies depending on at least pressure of a first portion above the stage in the chamber, and a controller configured to control a process of forming the film on the substrate based on the first value.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that has an ejection surface including a first nozzle row configured to eject a first ink and a second nozzle row configured to eject a second ink. The liquid ejecting head is configured to be held in a first posture in which the ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. A dynamic surface tension of the second ink is higher than a dynamic surface tension of the first ink. In the first posture, the first nozzle row is positioned above the second nozzle row with respect to a gravity direction.
