Abstract: A solid-state image sensing device has an inverting-amplifier constructed with MOS transistors (3,6), which is provided with electrical power through a common output line (7), and inputs and outputs signals through the common output line. With this configuration, a supply line used exclusively for supplying electrical power does not pass through a pixel (1) of a solid-state image sensing device. The inverting-amplifier of this solid-state image sensing device is reset to the same voltage as that of the common output line, and an offset voltage is read out. Thereafter, the electric charge inputted into the inverting-amplifier from a photo-electric converter is inverted and amplified, and the resultant signal is read out. Finally, a difference between the inverted and amplified signal and the offset voltage is obtained and outputted as an image signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antifuse element, in
particular an antifuse element having an antifuse layer formed
between interconnection layers, and the manufacturing method.
Conventionally, an antifuse layer was formed after an aperture was
formed through an interlayer insulating film; which resulted in a
thinner film thickness at the corner formed by inner wall surface
of the aperture and lower electrode layer. As it is very
difficult to control the film thickness of the thinnest part to a
specific value, control of the insulation breakdown voltage in
"off" state was difficult. 
     The present invention makes it easy to control the
insulation breakdown voltage, at the same time suppresses the
dispersion. The present invention also enables to control the
polarity of the current/voltage characteristics, suppresses the
leakage current, and avoids deterioration of the reliability in
"on" state. The invented antifuse layer has a flat shape of an
even thickness, and is comprised of a complexed film of amorphous
silicon film, silicon nitride film and silicon oxide film. The
antifuse electrode layer is of a titanium nitride, the film
thickness of which is thicker than the invasion length of a fuse
link into electrode layers. The step coverage of upper electrode
layer is set to be higher than 80%, through control of the film
thickness of the electrodes separating insulation film and the
tapered shape of aperture in antifuse region.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reading magnetic ink characters or similar patterns provided in a predetermined area on a carrier medium, such as a personal check, by scanning the carrier medium with a magnetic head wherein the drive source for the scanning motion is a pulse motor. To prevent magnetic noise generated by the pulse motor from affecting the results of reading the magnetic patterns the reading step is preceded by a step for measuring the magnetic noise component and followed by a step for subtracting the measured noise component from the signal resulting from the reading step. The noise component is measured as the output signal of the magnetic head while the pulse motor is driven but the magnetic head is outside of the predetermined area of the carrier medium.
