  • Publication number: 20240243204
    Abstract: An object is to reduce leakage current and parasitic capacitance of a transistor used for an LSI, a CPU, or a memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit such as an LSI, a CPU, or a memory is manufactured using a thin film transistor in which a channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor which becomes an intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor by removing impurities which serve as electron donors (donors) from the oxide semiconductor and has larger energy gap than that of a silicon semiconductor, With use of a thin film transistor using a highly purified oxide semiconductor layer with sufficiently reduced hydrogen concentration, a semiconductor device with low power consumption due to leakage current can be realized.

  • Publication number: 20240013324
    Abstract: When an operation for reserving a rental car is performed on a communication terminal, reservation information is transmitted from the communication terminal to the management server. The management server extracts a reservation period included in the reservation information, issues an incentive based on the reservation period, and notifies the incentive. When the user applies an incentive to the communication device to confirm the reservation, the operation information is sent to the management server, and the management server confirms the reservation. When the reservation confirmation is notified, the communication terminal sets the reservation period as VPP participation period of the electrified vehicles, and transmits the participation information including the information of VPP participation period to HEMS controllers. HEMS controllers register the electrified vehicles as power resources in the period specified by VPP participation period.
