In view of the above problems, the invention provides a structure in which a conductive film is formed in a hole of an insulating film, and the surfaces of the conductive film and the insulating film are flat. As a result, discontinuity of thin films covering a conductive film and an insulating film can be prevented. A wiring can be made thinner by controlling the width of the hole. Further, a wiring can be made thicker by controlling the depth of the hole. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20110026240 | OPTICAL ELEMENT LAMINATE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, BACKLIGHT, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - An optical element laminate is provided which, while an increase in thickness of a liquid crystal display device is suppressed, improves insufficient rigidity of an optical element and, in addition, which does not degrade display characteristics of the liquid crystal display device. The optical element laminate includes a plate-shaped support member having a first primary surface and a second primary surface and an optical element which is laminated on at least one of the first primary surface and the second primary surface of the support member and, in addition, which has a film shape or a sheet shape. The periphery of the laminated optical element is at least bonded to facing two sides of the support member, the optical element and the support member are placed in close contact with each other, and a thickness t of the support member, a length L of the support member, and a tensile force F of the optical element satisfy the relational expression of 0≦F≦1.65×10 | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110159186 | FILM FORMING APPARATUS AND FILM FORMING METHOD - The present invention provides a film forming apparatus and a film forming method realizing improvement in the degree of freedom in film formation while suppressing production cost. While conveying a base material by using a plurality of guide rolls, film formation is performed by atomic layer deposition by outputting precursor gases to the base material by a plurality of ALD heads. The ALD heads are disposed so as to individually face the guide rolls so that the precursor gases are locally output to the base material. The amount of the precursor gases used is reduced more than that in a related art, and the variety of kinds of the usable precursor gases is widened. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20090128338 | ID LABEL, ID TAG, AND ID CARD - In commercial products to which a non-contact type or contact type ID label or ID tag is attached and ID cards, there is fear that, due to a difference between coefficients of thermal expansion between an antenna for communication and a resin provided around the antenna, stress is applied to the resin with the larger coefficient of thermal expansion to break the resin. This contributes to decrease in manufacturing yield, lifetime, and reliability of an ID label or the like. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20110248089 | PAPER MONEY, COIN, VALUABLE INSTRUMENT, CERTIFICATES, TAG, LABEL, CARD, PACKING CONTAINERS, DOCUMENTS, RESPECTIVELY INSTALLED WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - Although a product having such the IC chip has been diffused, information on the product may be capable of being perceived, abstracted, falsified, or the like by a third person with his external device during distribution of the product or after purchase of the product.

| 20090027984 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - The present invention provides a sense circuit for DRAM memory cell to cover the events that a sense time becomes remarkably longer when a power source voltage is lowered, a sense time under the low voltage condition becomes shorter when temperature rises and a sense time changes to a large extent for fluctuation of processes. The present invention provides the following typical effects. A switch means is provided between the bit line BL and local bit line LBL connected to the memory cells for isolation and coupling of these bit lines. The bit line BL is precharged to the voltage of VDL/2, while the local bit line LBL is precharged to the voltage of VDL. The VDL is the maximum amplitude voltage of the bit line BL. A sense amplifier SA comprises a first circuit including a differential MOS pair having the gate connected to the bit line BL and a second circuit connected to the local bit line LBL for full amplitude amplification and for holding the data. When the bit line BL and local bit line LBL are capacitance-coupled via a capacitor, it is recommended to use a latch type sense amplifier SA connected to bit line LBL. | 01-29-2009 |
