  • Patent number: 12157458
    Abstract: A controller detects partitioning lines OL and BL of a road and a road edge E based on an image taken by a camera, generates a pair of left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR that extend from the side to the front of a vehicle along the partitioning lines OL and BL, controls the steering so the vehicle travels between the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR, moves the left virtual line ILL to a position in proximity to the road edge E and fixes the left virtual line ILL to this position, and then, moves the right virtual line ILR to a position separated from the left virtual line ILL by the width of the vehicle and fixes the right virtual line ILR to this position, and controls brakes to stop the vehicle after fixing the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR.

  • Publication number: 20240079275
    Abstract: A gate insulating film has a multilayer structure including a SiO2 film, a LaAlO3 film, and an Al2O3 film that are sequentially stacked, relative permittivity of the gate insulating film being optimized by the LaAlO3 film. In forming the LaAlO3 film constituting the gate insulating film, a La2O3 film and an Al2O3 film are alternately deposited repeatedly using an ALD method. The La2O3 film is deposited first, whereby during a POA performed thereafter, a sub-oxide of the surface of the SiO2 film is removed by a cleaning effect of lanthanum atoms in the La2O3 film. A temperature of the POA is suitably set in a range from 700 degrees C. to less than 900 degrees C.

  • Publication number: 20240021720
    Abstract: P++-type contact regions are disposed apart from one another, and in a p?-type base region, at least hole current regions directly beneath the contact regions have an impurity concentration of not more than 5×1016/cm3. A p+-type region for mitigating electric field and disposed between adjacent gate trenches is separated into first portions in contact with the hole current regions and second portions in contact with only a portion of the base region other than the hole current regions. During conduction of body diodes, forward current flows into an n?-type drain region through the contact regions, the hole current regions, and the first portions. Thus, in the drain region, holes from the base region are injected only into hole injection regions that are directly beneath the first portions, but are not injected into regions that respectively surround peripheries of the hole injection regions.
