Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a metal layer disposed above a transistor on a first substrate. The metal layer includes a first region extending in a first direction and a second region that has a width in the first direction smaller than the first region and protrudes from the first region in a second direction, and has a first corner portion having an angle larger than 180° as viewed in a third direction between a proximal end portion of the second region and the first region. The metal layer includes a first portion that is disposed within the first region and has a lower surface at a first height, and a second portion that is disposed within the second region and has a lower surface at a second height lower than the first height.

Abstract: A vehicle spat device includes: a housing; a spat that adjusts an airflow toward a wheel of a vehicle by being displaced between a storage position at which the spat is stored in the housing and a deployed position at which the spat is deployed from the housing; a drive link that rotates between a position at which the spat is disposed at the storage position and a position at which the spat is disposed at the deployed position; and a transmission link that is coupled to the drive link and the spat in a relatively rotatable manner and transmits power of the drive link to the spat. When an external force acts on the spat, the transmission link moves to change a relative position between the drive link and the spat by the external force, and retracts the spat in a direction toward the housing.

Abstract: A spat control device controls a spat device that includes a right spat and a left spat for front wheels of a vehicle. The spat control device includes: an acquisition unit acquiring a shape of a road in front of the vehicle; and a control unit adjusting deployment amounts of the spats by controlling drive units of the spat device. When the vehicle travels on a curve, the right or left wheel that is on an inner side of a turn is set to an inner wheel and the other wheel that is on an outer side of the turn is set to an outer wheel. When the acquired road shape includes the curve, the control unit performs an adjustment process of making a deployment amount of one of the spats, corresponding to the outer wheel, larger than a deployment amount of another spat corresponding to the inner wheel.

Abstract: A vehicle spat device includes: a spat that rotatably supported by a first rotation shaft and configured to be displaced between a deployment position and a storage position; and a link unit transmitting power of an actuator to the spat. The link unit includes a drive link rotating integrally with a drive shaft when the actuator is driven, and an intermediate link connected to the spat via a second rotation shaft and connected to the drive link via a third rotation shaft. The drive link rotates around the drive shaft between a first position where the spat is disposed at the storage position and a second position where the spat is disposed at the deployment position. In the drive link, the first position is a position rotated from a first neutral position in a first rotation direction.

Abstract: A vehicle step device includes: a step portion that is attached to a side of a vehicle and is deployed from a retracted position to a getting-on/off position when an occupant gets on and off the vehicle; and a drive unit configured to drive the step portion between the retracted position and the getting-on/off position. The drive unit deploys the step portion to a traveling position located outward of the retracted position in a vehicle width direction when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a vehicle traveling state.

Abstract: A vehicle spat device includes; a variable support mechanism configured to support a spat serving as an aerodynamic member at an expanded position in front of a wheel and a retracted position separated from the expanded position; an impact relaxation mechanism configured to allow retreating operation accompanied by displacement of the spat based on input of an external force to the spat; and a drive mechanism configured to apply a drive force to the variable support mechanism to cause the spat to operate between an expanded position and a retracted position as an operating range. The impact relaxation mechanism allows the retreating operation of the spat supported at the retracted position to a retreating position positioned further closer to a vehicle body side than the retracted position.
