A method manufactures a semiconductor device which allows nanocarbon materials, such as high-quality graphene and carbon nanotube to be used. The method of manufacturing the semiconductor device comprises forming on a substrate a wiring structure including wires of nanocarbon material; forming on the wiring structure an element structure including a semiconductor element; and interconnecting the wires of the wiring structure and the semiconductor element of the element structure.

Semiconductor manufacturing method and semiconductor device

An above deck unit for an AIS (automatic identification system) is externally installed on a ship. The above deck unit includes a radio circuit and an associated antenna for transmitting and receiving a message, a position detector and an associated antenna, associated controller and power supply, and a container for storing these elements. An inboard transmission path, e.g., a cable, connects the outdoor unit for the AIS and an AIS display serving as an interface means for the crew. A signal to be transmitted through the inboard transmission path is a processed, for example, an amplified signal, rather than an unprocessed output of a VHF antenna. Therefore, problems of signal loss or degradation along the inboard transmission path are unlikely to occur. Because the unit is incorporated within a single container, it can easily be installed and transferred. With this antenna complex, it is also possible to suppress interference between antennas.
