Abstract: MMIC elements are formed on the surface of a GaAs semiconductor substrate. Rectangular U grooves having V-shaped bottoms are formed on the bottom surface of the substrate up to the surface of the substrate under the electrode and ground terminals of the MMIC elements. MIM capacitors and coils are formed on the side walls of the grooves and the bottom surface of the substrate and are connected to the electrode and ground terminals. This arrangement provides the MIM capacitors with large capacitance and the coils with large inductance without increasing chip size.

Abstract: A dry toner for developing an electrostatic latent image comprising toner particles and fine particles of a lubricant coated with an inorganic compound fine powder and an image formation method using the same. The toner is excellent in fluidity, cleaning properties, stability with environmental changes, and durability.

Abstract: A semiconductor device, which uses a film carrier, comprises a semiconductor element with a plurality of terminals, a resin film with a first surface and a second surface, the film having a hole in which the semiconductor element is mounted, and a plurality of lead wires formed on the first surface of the resin film. Each lead wire has an inner lead, an intermediate lead and an outer lead. The inner lead is connected to a corresponding one of the terminals of the semiconductor element. The outer lead is connected to a corresponding external electrode. The intermediate lead is situated between the inner lead and the outer lead. At least said intermediate lead is formed on the first surface of the film. Each outer lead and that portion of the intermediate lead, which is close to the outer lead, is substantially on a level with the external electrode.

Abstract: A toner composition for thermal fixing is disclosed, comprising a colorant, an external additive and a binder resin that contains a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition point of from 20.degree. C. to less than 50.degree. C. and a polyolefin polymer having an average molecular weight of 800 or more, the polyolefin polymer being present in an amount of from 5 wt % to less than 50 wt % of the total binder resin.

Abstract: A magnetic powder-dispersed carrier for use in electrophotography, electrostatic printing, and other reprographic methods, comprising a large number of magnetic particles dispersed in a binder resin, the particles having a BET surface area no greater than 5 m.sup.2 /g, and an oil-absorbing capacity of no more than 25 ml/100 g.

Abstract: A negative charging carrier for an electrophotographic developer is described, comprising a binder resin having dispersed therein a magnetic powder, wherein said carrier contains a fluorine-containing resin fine powder in an amount of from 5 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the carrier. The carrier provides a developer for magnetic brush development having a prolonged life and a high rate of development.
