The present invention provides a cooling device used for a process for heating and cooling a substrate constituting an image display apparatus that uses electron emitting devices. The cooling device includes a cooling plate located opposite the substrate to absorb radiation heat from the substrate. The cooling plate is provided with a high emissivity area in a pattern located opposite to a low emissivity area of the substrate. This suppresses a variation in a temperature distribution in the substrate during cooling, thus preventing the substrate from being distorted or damaged.

Photoelectric conversion regions (130, 140) are formed from both sides of a semiconductor substrate 100, so that the photoelectric conversion regions (130, 140) can be easily formed at a deep position from the surfaces of the semiconductor substrate 100 without using a high-energy ion implanter and a thick resist. With this configuration, long-wavelength input light from a visible light region to a far-red light region can be efficiently absorbed from the outside. Thus it is possible to improve the light receiving sensitivity of a solid-state image device and increase the number of pixels of the solid-state image device without reducing sensitivity in a unit pixel.

While calibrating the position of a robot having a gyro, the robot emits a beam of light to a target wall surface, and the position of a laser point on the target wall surface illuminated by the beam of light is measured. The measured position is obtained as an initial value (S10, S12), and a start of calibration is indicated (S14, S16). Then, a calibration period is reset (S18) and the timekeeping process of the calibration period starts. The values detected by the gyro are consecutively obtained by sampling for a predetermined calibration period (S20). If a disturbance occurs while the values are obtained, an alarm is output and calibration restarts. Once the calibration period elapses without any disturbance, a calibrated value is set or determined based on the detected values obtained during the calibration period (S26, S28).
