  • Patent number: 8343827
    Abstract: In a CMIS device, to improve the operating characteristics of an n-channel electric field transistor that is formed by using a strained silicon technique, without degrading the operating characteristics of a p-channel field effect transistor. After forming a source/drain (an n-type extension region and an n-type diffusion region) of an nMIS and a source/drain (a p-type extension region and a p-type diffusion region) of a pMIS, the each source/drain having a desired concentration profile and resistance, a Si:C layer having a desired amount of strain is formed in the n-type diffusion region, and thus the optimum parasitic resistance and the optimum amount of strain in the Si:C layer are obtained in the source/drain of the nMIS. Moreover, by performing a heat treatment in forming the Si:C layer in a short time equal to or shorter than 1 millisecond, a change in the concentration profile of the respective p-type impurities of the already-formed p-type extension region and p-type diffusion region is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7980746
    Abstract: A hollow type planar illuminating device having uniform luminance distribution over the entire light emitting is described. A reflecting surface member is arranged on the bottom side of a hollow unit case, a light emitting surface member is arranged on the side facing the reflecting surface member of the unit case, and a space sandwiched between the reflecting surface member and the light emitting surface member of the unit case forms a hollow light guide space. An LED light source unit emits light into the hollow light guide space with a light collecting lens arranged between the LED light source unit and an end surface of the hollow light guide space. The light collecting lens reduces the directivity angle of light emitted from the LED light source unit in the device thickness direction.

  • Publication number: 20100059767
    Abstract: A surface light-emitting device is disclosed, in which a plurality of spot light sources are arranged along the side surface of a housing of the device, and the light emitted from the spot light sources located at the end portions of the spot light source sequence emits a lower light flux than the average light flux of the light emitted from the other spot light sources. The spot light source sequence is, for example, an LED array including an alignment of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The LED array includes two groups of LED elements arranged in a predetermined repetitive pattern from one and the other ends, respectively, of the LED array, and at least an LED emitting low light flux is arranged at a predetermined position in the vicinity of the center of the array. As a result, the requirement for a reduced thickness and a narrower frame can be met, while at the same time producing the white light of uniform chromaticity over the whole light-emitting surface.

  • Publication number: 20080242066
    Abstract: A method of producing ultra shallow junctions (104) for PMOS transistors, which eliminates the need for pre-amorphization implants, is disclosed. The method utilizes dopant species, such as cluster ions, e.g., octadecaborane, B18H22. In accordance with the present invention, the pre-amorphizing step may be eliminated, greatly reducing cost per processed wafer. An appropriate process sequence has been suggested to take advantage of cluster ion implantation for PMOS manufacturing. In addition, the novel use of tilted implants for the source/drain extension and for pocket implants has been described.
