Power consumption of a semiconductor device is reduced by sharpening the rise of a drain current when a gate voltage of a field effect transistor is less than a threshold voltage. As means therefor, in a fully-depleted MOSFET in which a thickness of a semiconductor layer serving as a channel region is 20 nm or less, a gate plug connected to a gate electrode is constituted of a first plug, a ferroelectric film, and a second plug sequentially stacked on the gate electrode. Here, an area where a contact surface between the first plug and the ferroelectric film and a contact surface between the ferroelectric film and the second plug overlap in a plan view is smaller than an area where the gate electrode and a semiconductor layer serving as an active region overlap.

A first thermistorand a second thermistorare arranged forwardly and rearwardly of a thermopile sensor. A thermopile chipis arranged and interposed between the first thermistorand an integrated thermistor. A sensor cover is mounted in contact with front and side portions of a can portionof a thermopile casing. A temperature or a radiant quantity of infrared rays on the front portion of the can portion is estimated from a temperature change of the integrated thermistor per second.

Radiation thermometer

Temperature states of a clinical thermometer body and an environment are estimated by temperatures measured by a first temperature sensor integrally formed together with an infrared sensor arranged to the distal end of a probe and a second temperature sensor arranged on the bottom side of a probe holder, and processes suitable for the respective temperature states are performed. An estimation error or the reliability of an estimation value is calculated by the temperatures to notify a user of the estimation error or the reliability by an LCD or the like.

Infrared clinical thermometer and temperature state estimation method, information notification method, and measurement operation method thereof

An object of the present invention is to provide an ear type clinical thermometer in which the main body can be held according to the position of the eardrum of the person whose temperature is being measured. There is provided an ear type clinical thermometer comprising: a main body to be held by hand at a time when an eardrum temperature is to be measured; and a probe fixed to the main body while protruding from the main body and to be inserted into an external auditory canal of a person whose eardrum temperature is to be measured at the time when the measurement is to be taken. The main body has a side at which the probe protrudes from the main body and a side opposite to this side, and the side opposite to the side at which the probe protrudes from the main body is constructed of a curved surface having a substantially constant curvature along a direction perpendicular to a reference plane containing the center axis of the probe. Further, the main body has an indicator for allowing a user to recognize a plurality of methods of holding the main body which differ according to directions in which the probe is to be inserted into the external auditory canal of the person whose temperature is to be measured.
