20140035055 | SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE - MISFETs after the 32 nm technology node have a High-k gate insulating film and a metal gate electrode. Such MISFETs have the problem that the absolute value of the threshold voltage of n-MISFET and p-MISFET inevitably increases by the subsequent high temperature heat treatment. The threshold voltage is therefore controlled by forming various threshold voltage adjusting metal films on a High-k gate insulating film and introducing a film component from them into the High-k gate insulating film. The present inventors have however revealed that lanthanum or the like introduced into the High-k gate insulating film of the n-MISFET is likely to transfer to the STI region by the subsequent heat treatment. | 02-06-2014 |

20120305791 | RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE DETECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A flat panel detector has an imaging area, in which pixels are arrayed in a matrix and signal lines for reading out electric signals from the pixels are provided, to detect an image of a subject from x-rays which are incident on the imaging area after penetrating the subject. Detective elements are arranged in the imaging area, to output electric signals corresponding to incident x-rays. Based on previously stored sensitivity data on the detective elements, high-sensitivity elements are selected from among the detective elements. The start of radiation and the end of radiation of x-rays toward the imaging area are detected by monitoring the electric signals from the selected high-sensitivity elements, to control operation of the imaging device on the basis of the detected start and end of radiation. | 12-06-2012 |
20120305792 | RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE DETECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - An x-ray image detector monitors the intensity of incident x-rays to detect an end of radiation from an x-ray source when the x-ray intensity decreases to a threshold level or less. The x-ray intensity gets down to zero with a variable time lag from the start of decreasing, called radiation wave tail. Depending on the gradient of declivity in time curve of the decreasing x-ray intensity, calculated at the time when the end of radiation is detected, the x-ray image detector decides a delay time from the end-of-radiation detection time to a reading start time to start reading signal charges from the image detector. Thus, the reading start time may be adjusted to the point when the x-ray intensity gets down to zero, which will improve S/N ratio and prevent shading artifacts. | 12-06-2012 |
