Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing an interconnecting metal layer thereof are provided. The semiconductor device includes a gate layer, a dielectric layer, an insulating layer, an epitaxial layer, and a sidewall liner. The dielectric layer is disposed on one side of the gate layer, the insulating layer is disposed on another side of the gate layer, the epitaxial layer is located on the insulating layer, and the sidewall liner penetrates the dielectric layer and the gate layer, and one end of the sidewall liner is connected to the epitaxial layer. The sidewall liner is converted from a high-k material to a low-k material by hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatments.

Abstract: A vehicle traveling support control apparatus includes a traveling environment determining portion that determines a traveling environment of a vehicle, a support device determining portion that determines a serviceable traveling support device from one or more traveling support devices mounted in the vehicle in accordance with the traveling environment determined by the traveling environment determining portion, a presentation portion that presents support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device, and a control portion that controls the presentation portion to present the support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device based on use frequency of the serviceable traveling support device determined by the support device determining portion.
