  • Patent number: 7601635
    Abstract: For improving the reliability of a semiconductor device having a stacked structure of a polycrystalline silicon film and a tungsten silicide film, the device is manufactured by forming a polycrystalline silicon film, a tungsten silicide film and an insulating film successively over a gate insulating film disposed over the main surface of a semiconductor substrate, and patterning them to form a gate electrode having a stacked structure consisting of the polycrystalline silicon film and tungsten silicide film. The polycrystalline silicon film has two regions, one region formed by an impurity-doped polycrystalline silicon and the other one formed by non-doped polycrystalline silicon. The tungsten silicide film is deposited so that the resistivity of it upon film formation would exceed 1000 ??cm.

  • Patent number: 7393622
    Abstract: A durable two-component developing agent for electrophotography is provided that can not only suppress scattering of a toner into an inside of an apparatus but also obtain a high image density and can stably obtain a high-quality image even in use for a long period of time. The two-component developing agent for electrophotography includes a toner, and a carrier. The carrier contains a core material and a coating layer formed on a surface thereof. The coating layer is a silicone resin coating layer containing dendritic titanium oxide. Therefore, it is possible to not only suppress scattering of the toner but also obtain a sufficient image density and to form a high-quality image without reducing the image density even in use for a long period of time.
