An object is to provide a semiconductor device of which a manufacturing process is not complicated and by which cost can be suppressed, by forming a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor film typified by zinc oxide, and a manufacturing method thereof. For the semiconductor device, a gate electrode is formed over a substrate; a gate insulating film is formed covering the gate electrode; an oxide semiconductor film is formed over the gate insulating film; and a first conductive film and a second conductive film are formed over the oxide semiconductor film. The oxide semiconductor film has at least a crystallized region in a channel region.

Semiconductor device, and manufacturing method thereof

In this paper, we present two novel algorithms to realize a finite dimensional, linear time-invariant state-space model from input-output data. The algorithms have a number of common features. They are classified as one of the subspace model identification schemes, in that a major part of the identification problem consists of calculating specially structured subspaces of spaces defined by the input-output data. This structure is then exploited in the calculation of a realization. Another common feature is their algorithmic organization: an RQ factorization followed by a singular value decomposition and the solution of an overdetermined set (or sets) of equations. The schemes assume that the underlying system has an output-error structure and that a measurable input sequence is available. The latter characteristic indicates that both schemes are versions of the MIMO Output-Error State Space model identification (MOESP) approach. The first algorithm is denoted in particular as the (elementary MOESP scheme)...

Optimal attitude control for three-axis stabilized flexible spacecraft

An on-orbit attitude and vibration control experiment has been performed as a part of experiments of the ETS-VI, which was launched by the H-II rocket in August 1994. The purpose is to develop precise attitude control technology for future large spacecraft or large space structures. To this end, we have designed three types of controllers in linear quadratic Gaussian and H 1 frameworks to achieve the robust stability against residual modes and modal parameter errors. The experiments were done at the beginning of 1995, and their feasibility has been proved. The  ight experiment results and the modeling and the controller synthesis methods are reported. Based on the on-orbit results, the capabilities of controllers are compared and discussed.

A non-contact data carrier includes a semiconductor device ( 11 ), a coil antenna ( 12 ), and a sealing resin coating ( 13 ) sealing the semiconductor device ( 11 ) and the coil antenna ( 12 ) therein. The electrodes ( 11 a ) of the semiconductor device ( 11 ) are connected to the opposite ends ( 12 a , 12 b ) of the coil antenna ( 12 ) by wires ( 14 ). The surface of the coil antenna ( 12 ) opposite to the sealing resin coating ( 13 ) is covered with a protective layer ( 16 ) for protection.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flat electrochemical cell which sufficiently secures airtightness and steam barrier performance inside an outer package using the outer package in which a laminate consisting of a composite film is made into a bag shape or a tray shape, and prevents blowing-out of the outer package due to increase of internal pressure by releasing the gas inside and also prevents leakage of electrolyte. SOLUTION: A safety valve 6 for releasing gas generated inside the outer package is installed at a part of the peripheral portion of the outer package 10, and the safety valve 6 is constructed of a valve 9 which opens when the gas pressure inside the outer package exceeds a prescribed value, a housing part 8 which houses the gas and electrolyte which have passed the valve 9, and a gas permeation part 7 which permeates only the gas. The housing part 8 is made a non-sealed region installed at a part of the outer package peripheral portion and the gas permeation part 7 is made a porous fluororesin sheet which closes an outer package aperture formed on the non-sealed region.
