  • Patent number: 9343527
    Abstract: A first MISFET which is a semiconductor element is formed on an SOI substrate. The SOI substrate includes a supporting substrate which is a base, BOX layer which is an insulating layer formed on a main surface (surface) of the supporting substrate, that is, a buried oxide film; and an SOI layer which is a semiconductor layer formed on the BOX layer. The first MISFET as a semiconductor element is formed to the SOI layer. In an isolation region, an isolation groove is formed penetrating though the SOI layer and the BOX layer so that a bottom surface of the groove is positioned in the middle of a thickness of the supporting substrate. An isolation film is buried in the isolation groove being formed. Then, an oxidation resistant film is interposed between the BOX layer and the isolation film.

  • Patent number: 9014088
    Abstract: Mobile nodes are allowed to move around within an intermittent communication environment. A mobile node wirelessly communicates with an access node when approaching the access node, and stores data. The access node stores an action history for each mobile node, and generates a forwarder list in association with a destination node, based on action histories of the mobile nodes. The forwarder list stores one or more identifies each identifying a first mobile node in the order of an arrival probability indicating a probability that the first mobile node succeeds in delivering the data to the destination node. The access node selects second mobile nodes that are to carry the data to the destination node, based on the forwarder list, and transfers the data to one of the second mobile nodes when a communication link is established between the access node and the one of the second mobile nodes.
