Abstract: A MISFET has a threshold voltage that is not undesirably increased due to channel narrowing of the MISFET, and the MISFET is reduced in size and increased in withstand voltage. An anti-inversion p-type channel stopper region provided below an element isolation trench has an end that projects toward a channel region below a gate oxide film, and terminates short of the channel region. That is, the end is offset from the end of the channel region (the end of the element isolation trench). This suppresses diffusion in a lateral direction (channel region direction) of an impurity in the p-type channel stopper region, and thus suppresses a decrease in carrier concentration at the end of the channel region. As a result, a local increase in threshold voltage is suppressed.

Abstract: A processing machine for cutting a workpiece with a tool is presented. The processing machine includes a base member configured to support a table for receiving the workpiece, and a tool support disposed on the base member for rotation between a vertical position and a horizontal position and configured to support the tool, wherein the tool support is formed from a right leg portion, a left leg portion, and a main portion, such that the main portion connects upper ends of the right leg portion and the left leg portion, wherein the main portion is located above the table when the tool support is in the vertical position, and wherein a space above the table is not covered by the main portion when the tool support is in the horizontal position.

Abstract: A coating composition is prepared by blending a polyisocyanate curing agent, a weak solvent-soluble fluorine-containing copolymer and a weak solvent. The polyisocyanate curing agent is obtained by a reaction between an alicylic polyisocyanate and a monoalcohol having 10-50 carbon atoms. The weak solvent-soluble fluorine-containing copolymer is a copolymer obtained from a fluoroolefin and a double bond-containing monomer copolymerizable with the fluoroolefin, and has afluorine content derived from fluoroolefin of not less than 10% by mass. In this connection, 5-30% by mole of the double bond-containing monomer contains a hydroxyl group, while 10-50% by mole of the double bond-containing monomer contains a branched alkyl group having 3 or more carbon atoms.

Abstract: In an indoor type skiing ground having a ski slope formed by sprinkling artificial snow to a predetermined thickness on a slope inside a building, a predetermined height range from the surface of the artificial snow is defined as a low temperature region, while an ordinary temperature region is defined above the low temperature region, and cold air ports for blowing cold air into the building are formed in a side wall of the building so as to be located in the low temperature region, while air outlets are formed so as to be located above the cold air ports.
