  • Publication number: 20240136371
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging element having an array of light receiving pixels is disclosed. A light receiving pixel includes a pair of photoelectric conversion units, a first separation region, and a second separation region. The pair of photoelectric conversion units is disposed adjacent to each other and has a shared floating diffusion (FD). The first separation region surrounds the pair of photoelectric conversion units. The second separation region is disposed between the pair of photoelectric conversion units. The first separation region has a rectangular shape in plan view and extends from a surface on the opposite side to a light incident surface of the semiconductor layer toward the light incident surface. The second separation region is disposed along a diagonal line of the first separation region extends from the surface on the opposite side to the light incident surface of the semiconductor layer toward the light incident surface.

  • Publication number: 20240055446
    Abstract: To downsize an imaging element formed by stacking a plurality of semiconductor substrates. The imaging element includes pixels, a pixel circuit, an isolating section, a buried electrode, and a connecting location. Each of the pixels includes: a photoelectric conversion section on the first semiconductor substrate; a charge holding section that holds a charge generated by the photoelectric conversion section; and a charge transfer section. The pixel circuit generates an image signal on the basis of charges disposed and held on a second semiconductor substrate stacked on the front surface side of the first semiconductor substrate. The isolating section is disposed at a boundary of the pixels. The buried electrode is disposed at the boundary of the pixel overlapping the isolating section, so as to be connected to the first semiconductor substrate. The connecting location is connected to the buried electrode.

  • Patent number: 9349501
    Abstract: A gas insulated switchgear includes a high-voltage conductor installed inside a ground tank filled with an insulation gas and the high-voltage conductor is supported on an insulation spacer and thereby fixed to the ground tank. The gas insulator switchgear is configured in such a manner that an insulation portion of the insulation spacer in contact with the insulation gas is covered with a cover film formed by hardening powder of any of thermoplastic resin, glass, cellulose, and polymer resin made of carbon and hydrogen having a particle size of 100 ?m or less with epoxy resin.

  • Publication number: 20150336335
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a fiber-reinforced composite material, involving impregnating a fiber structure with a resin by using the pressure difference between a vacuum pressure and an atmospheric pressure and thereafter curing the resin, the method comprising: impregnating a mixture of a bromine-containing resin 22 and a powdered flame retardant 21 that contains at least one component selected from aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide and has an average particle size in the range of 0.1 to 20 ?m into a fiber structure 10 that has a mode value for the size of fiber surrounded individual openings in the range of 0.03 to 3 mm2 and an opening area percentage in the range of 0.1 to 10%, from a surface direction of the fiber structure 10, to unevenly distribute the powdered flame retardant 21 in a surface layer of the fiber structure 10. The present invention can simply and conveniently produce a highly flame-retardant and lightweight fiber-reinforced composite material that exhibits a high strength.
