  • Patent number: 11915924
    Abstract: A recess is formed in one silicon substrate. A silicon oxide film is formed in another one silicon substrate at a portion space apart from a space-to-be-formed region. The silicon oxide film has a groove surrounding the space-to-be-formed region and extending to an outer periphery of the other one silicon substrate. Further, the other one silicon substrate and the one silicon substrate are directly bonded to each other via the silicon oxide film so as to cover the groove. A gas discharge passage, a stacking structure of the silicon substrates and the silicon oxide film are formed, and the space is formed inside the stacking structure by the recess. Then, by the heat treatment, the gas inside the space is discharged to the outside of the stacking structure through the gas discharge passage.

  • Patent number: 7908123
    Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle planning support system for supporting the planning of new vehicles by building vehicle models, comprising a database (1) for storing vehicle data for building vehicle models, and a computing device (2) utilizing the vehicle data stored in the database to build planned vehicle models for the vehicle being planned, wherein performance evaluation values for quantifying performance valuations of the vehicle with respect to each of a predetermined evaluation items are included in vehicle data stored in the database for a plurality of existing vehicles, and the computing device has a target value setting section for setting target values with respect to each evaluation item based on a distribution of performance evaluation values for at least a section of comparison subject existing vehicles among the existing vehicles, a performance calculation section for computing performance evaluation values for each evaluation item with respect to the planned vehicle models, and a degree-of
