The apparatus includes a vacuum chamber; a vacuum apparatus connected to the vacuum chamber; a holder placed in the vacuum chamber, which holder holds a substrate and is rotated by means of a rotating mechanism; a plasma CVD apparatus; and a sputtering apparatus, wherein the plasma CVD apparatus and the sputtering apparatus are placed in a single vacuum chamber and a thin film having an medium refractive index is formed on the substrate held by the holder, by means of the plasma CVD apparatus and the sputtering apparatus. The method making use of such an apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for forming a thin film of a metal compound is disclosed. Within a vacuum chamber, a metallic ultra-thin film of a metal or an incompletely-reacted metal is deposited on a substrate. The metallic ultra-thin film is brought in contact with the electrically neutral activated species of a reactive gas so as to convert the metallic ultra-thin film to an ultra-thin film of a metal compound through the reaction of the metallic ultra-thin film with the activated species of the reactive gas. The above-described steps are sequentially repeated so as to deposit on the substrate the ultra-thin film of the metal compound in layers until a thin film of the metal compound having a desired thickness is formed on the substrate.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method and apparatus for forming a thin film of a composite metal compound. Independent targets formed of at least two different metals are sputtered so as to form on a substrate an ultra-thin film of a composite metal or an incompletely-reacted composite metal. The ultra-thin film is irradiated with the electrically neutral, activated species of a reactive gas so as to convert the composite metal or the incompletely-reacted composite metal to a composite metal compound through the reaction of the ultra-thin film with the activated species of the reactive gas. The formation of the ultra-thin film and the conversion to the composite metal compound are sequentially repeated so as to form on the substrate a thin film of the composite metal compound having a desired thickness.

A fixing device in an image formation apparatus has a heating roller and a backup roller. These rollers are each coated with single silicone rubber layers around the respective peripheries of their core bars. This silicone rubber has a volume resistance value of 1013 &OHgr;·cm or more. The heating roller is charged with electricity of the same polarity as the polarity of toner particles due to frictional electrification caused at the time of feeding of a recording medium. The heating and the backup roller are polarized reverse to the polarity of the recording medium. A quantity of charged electricity on the backup roller is made larger than that on the heating roller. This permits the image formation apparatus to prevent offset from occurring at the time of fixing a toner image onto the recording medium to cope with various types of recording media.
摘要:
A method is provided for manufacturing a flat panel display in which a baseplate has a conductive row electrode deposited on it followed by an insulator. A conductive gate electrode is deposited over the insulator and a soft mask material is deposited over the conductive gate electrode. Microspheres are deposited on the soft mask material and an isotropic etch uses the microspheres as a mask to etch the soft mask material to form soft mask portions under the microspheres. The microspheres are removed and a hard mask material is deposited over the soft mask portions. The hard mask material is processed and chemical mechanical polished down to the soft mask portions which are removed by etching to leave a hard mask which is used by anisotropic etch process to form gate holes in the gate electrode. The gate holes are used to form emitter cavities into which emitters are deposited.

Two pairs of legs are fitted under two side plates of an electrophotography apparatus, respectively. The two legs in one pair fitted under one of the side plates are disposed on either side of and are spaced from a point which is a cross point of a line joining these two legs, and a line perpendicular to this line, which perpendicular line passes through a projected point obtained by projecting the center of gravity of the electrophotography apparatus onto a horizontal plane on which the apparatus is set up. The two legs in the pair fitted under the other one of the side plates are disposed on either side of and are spaced from a point which is a cross point of a line passing these two legs and a line perpendicular to this line, which perpendicular line passes through the projected point of the center of gravity. The ratio of a shorter distance to a longer distance, of two distances: one between the two legs in a pair and the other between the two legs in the other pair is set to a value of 1/5 to 1/3. With such a arrangement, a defect in an image caused by a distortion in said side plates, due to a position change in the center of gravity of the electrophotography apparatus can be prevented.

摘要:
The top surface of the exterior case of a printing apparatus is formed of a first top surface portion which lies substantially above a fixation unit and a paper ejector, a second top surface portion which lies substantially above a control unit, and a third top surface portion which lies substantially above development units, a photosensitive belt and a transfer drum. The levels of the respective top surface portions are higher in the order of the first top surface portion, the second top surface portion and the third top surface portion. Top surface portions of higher levels are located from the front of the upper surface of the exterior case toward the back.
