Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first insulating film formed on an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate in an outer peripheral region so as to surround a cell region in plan view, and a resistive element formed on the first insulating film so as to surround the cell region in plan view. A second insulating film having a thickness thinner than that of the first insulating film is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate in the outer peripheral region. A dummy pattern is formed from a portion over the second insulating film to a portion over the first insulating film so as to cover a step occurring between the second insulating film and the first insulating film.

Abstract: An adsorbent of the invention, which is an adsorbent for removing carbonyl sulfide in a stream containing an olefin, contains copper oxide and an aluminum compound, in which a content of the aluminum compound ranges from 10 mass % to 50 mass % in terms of Al, and an NH3 desorption in a temperature region ranging from 100 degrees C. to 200 degrees C. as measured by NH3-TPD measurement is more than 0.001 mmol/g and 1 mmol/g or less.

Abstract: Provided is a water-resistant sulfur compound adsorbent having a crushing strength that is less likely to be reduced even when used in a process including moisture. A certain amount of cellulose derivative is contained in the sulfur compound adsorbent containing a copper component for adsorbing a sulfur compound. This imparts water resistance to the adsorbent. As a result, it is possible to obtain the water-resistant sulfur compound adsorbent having the crushing strength that is less likely to be reduced even when used in the process including moisture.
