Force detection devices may have high detection precision and may prevent current leakage through a strain gage 126 to the outside. For example, a force detection block 120 may include a semiconductor substrate 122, a first insulating layer 124 and a semiconductor layer 126 (strain gage). The strain gage 126 preferably includes a site where resistance changes in accordance with the stress acting thereon. The strain gage 126 preferably constitutes at least a portion of a ridge 130 projects from the surface of the force detection block 120. A force transmission block 138 may be attached to a top surface of the ridge 130. The width of the first insulating layer 124 is preferably greater than the width of the semiconductor layer 126.

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, after performing ion-implantation and before forming an oxide film, a silicon substrate is disposed within a furnace to undergo a heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than 950° C. for a specific time period (equal to or longer than 15 minutes). When performing the heat treatment and when raising a temperature up to the heat treatment temperature, oxygen is supplied together with nitrogen gas (inert gas). A supply amount of oxygen is controlled to be equal to or less than 5% when raising the temperature up to the heat treatment temperature, and to be equal to or less than 2% when performing the heat treatment. After the heat treatment, the oxidation film is formed. As a result, crystal defects (OSFs) are prevented from being produced on the silicon substrate surface.

Method and apparatus for determination of the concentration of a component in a solution, such as ethyl alcohol in gasohol, acetic acid in hexane-acetic acid solution, or the like. Such determination is made with ease and accuracy based on a rate of pressure change caused in a closed container due to mass transfer occurring between two liquids through porous material.

There is provided a method for preparation of porous glass films, preferably in the form of a hollow filament, comprising heating glass films, formed from sodium borosilicate glass having a composition which can be phase-separated by heat-treatment into a soft phase easily eluted with a hot acid solution and a hard phase not easily eluted with the same solution, to separate the glass phase into the two phases and then subjecting the glass film to plasma etching in an atmosphere containing gaseous fluorine-containing compound(s) before or after acid elution of the soft phase. The thus obtained porous glass films have a uniform pore diameter and smooth surfaces and can be used as a variety of separating membranes.

摘要:
A gas separation member comprises a porous substrate, e.g., a membrane or a wall, and a polymer film deposited by plasma polymerization on the surface of the substrate and composed of at least two layers, i.e., a first layer contiguous with the substrate and a second layer superimposed on the first layer. The polymer film of the first layer possesses a uniform chemical composition or chemical structure in the direction of film thickness, while the polymer film of the second layer has a chemical composition or chemical structure which changes continuously or stepwise in the direction of film thickness. The gas separation member combines high gas separation factor and a high gas permeation rate, permitting separation of a specific gas in a concentrated form from a mixed gas. It also excels in weatherability.
