In a conductive layer fabrication method, a lower resist layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The support pad has at least two layers of material having different hardnesses. The power pulse is set to a HIGH level potential at least during a period when signal charge stored in the FD portion is reset and a period when the signal charge stored in the FD portion is detected. External stimuli include cell-cell interactions, response to factors, and the like. In one aspect, the selected content can be based on the compass orientation of a sensor in the mobile device. The impact resistance, the adhesiveness, the heat resistance, the abrasion resistance and the alkali resistance of the antireflection film on the plastic substrate are superior.
