  • Patent number: 10203244
    Abstract: A light detection device includes a semiconductor substrate, a signal detection light receiving portion, and an infrared light receiving portion. First and second color filters cover the signal detection light receiving portion and the infrared light receiving portion, respectively. The first color filter passes therethrough visible light in a first wavelength range as well as infrared light. The second color filter passes therethrough visible light in a second wavelength range as well as infrared light. A third color filter covers the infrared light receiving portion. The third color filter passes therethrough visible light in a third wavelength range different from the second wavelength range as well as infrared light. An infrared cut filter covers the signal detection light receiving portion and has an opening in a region opposite to the infrared light receiving portion.

  • Publication number: 20110304610
    Abstract: An embodiment of the design support apparatus includes: a component database in which 3D shape data of each component in equipment and 3D layout data of each component are stored; a design criteria database in which information which specifies a target component to be verified and determination criteria used for verification of a shortest inter-component distance between the target component and one or more peripheral components close to the target component are stored for each of the verification items; and a determination unit which extracts component data of the target component from the component database, extracts component data of each of the peripheral components corresponding to the extracted target component, and determines whether or not the inter-component distance between the target component and the peripheral components satisfies the determination criteria for each of the verification items.
