  • Publication number: 20210327722
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a semiconductor element that can lower the potential risk of malfunction. The production method of the disclosure is a method for producing a semiconductor element which includes providing a semiconductor element precursor, the precursor having a metal electrode layer formed on the surface of a gallium oxide-based single crystal semiconductor layer and a dopant doped in at least part of an exposed portion on the surface of the gallium oxide-based single crystal semiconductor layer where the metal electrode layer is not layered, and annealing treatment of the semiconductor element precursor whereby the dopant is diffused to a portion of the gallium oxide-based single crystal semiconductor layer that are overlapping with the metal electrode layer in the layering direction, to form a Schottky junction between the gallium oxide-based single crystal semiconductor layer and the metal electrode layer.

  • Publication number: 20180223108
    Abstract: Provided is decorative film capable of keeping the brightness and that hardly changes in color during the continuous use. Decorative film is disposed on the surface of a resin base located in a path of a beam of a radar device. The decorative film includes: composite particles, each including a silver particle made of silver and compound including nickel and oxygen, the compound adhering to the silver particle so as to partially surround the surface of the silver particle; and light-transmissive binder resin to bind the composite particles dispersed in the decorative film. Content of the nickel is in a range of 0.5 to 30.0 mass % relative to the silver.
