35results about How to "Mass production is possible" patented technology

An IC card is more expensive than a magnetic card, and an electronic tag is also more expensive as a substitute for bar codes. Therefore, the present invention provides an extremely thin integrated circuit that can be mass-produced at low cost unlike a chip of a conventional silicon wafer, and a manufacturing method thereof. One feature of the present invention is that a thin integrated circuit is formed by a formation method that can form a pattern selectively, on a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, a stainless substrate, a substrate made of synthetic resin having flexibility, such as acryl, or the like except for a bulk substrate. Further, another feature of the present invention is that an ID chip in which a thin film integrated circuit and an antenna according to the present invention are mounted is formed.

A fluid dynamic bearing (1) with a rotating shaft (3) inserted into a sleeve (2) fitted into a case (7) is disclosed. Tree rotating shaft (3) rotates freely without contact with the sleeve (2) by means of dynamic pressure force generated by the lubricant fluid that fills the gap formed around the rotating shaft (3). An adhesive groove (2c) is formed around the entire outer circumferential surface of the sleeve (2). At least one hole (7a) facing the adhesive groove (2c) is formed in case (7), and case (7) and sleeve (2) are; adhered by the injection of an adhesive (13) into adhesive groove (2c) from the hole (7a). The fluid dynamic pressure bearing, manufactured in this manner provides a high-quality bearing that is easy to construct, that can be adapted to low-cost manufacturing, and that can maintain dimensional and structural accuracy and in which the case (7) and sleeve (2) can be reliably adhered together with the adhesive (13). Such bearing will maintain long-term airtightness of the joint between the sleeve (2) and the case (7) and prevent leakage of lubricant fluid during manufacture. The bearing can be used for a spindle and other compact motors for driving memory devices for magnetic discs and optical discs (such as a CD or a DVD), motors for polygon mirrors used for scanning processes of laser beam printers, and for small motors for use such as in axial flow fans.

A system for forming high quality silicon material, e.g., polysilicon. In a specific embodiment, the melted material comprises a silicon material and an impurity, e.g., phosphorous species. The system includes a crucible having an interior region. In a specific embodiment, the crucible is made of a suitable material such as a quartz material or others. The quartz material is capable of withstanding a temperature of at least 1400 Degrees Celsius for processing silicon. In a specific embodiment, the crucible is configured in an upright position and has an open region to expose a melted material. In a specific embodiment, the present system has an energy source. Such energy source may be an arc heater or other suitable heating device, including multiple heating devices, which may be the same or different. The arc heater is configured above the open region and spaced by a gap between the exposed melted material and a muzzle region of the arc heater to cause formation of a determined temperature profile within a vicinity of a center region of the exposed melted material while maintaining outer regions of the melted material at a temperature below a melting point of the quartz material of the crucible. In a specific embodiment, the system produces a melted material comprising a resulting phosphorous species of 0.1 ppm and less, which is purified silicon.

Exposure apparatus is equipped with an illumination optical device which illuminates a mask with an exposure beam, a mask table which holds a periphery of a pattern area of the mask from above so that a pattern surface of the mask becomes substantially parallel to an XY plane and makes a force at least parallel to an XY plane and on the mask, and a wafer stage which moves along the XY plane, holding a wafer substantially parallel to the XY plane. Therefore, an overlay with high precision of a pattern of a mask and an underlying pattern on the substrate can be realized, even though the exposure apparatus employs a proximity method, that is, the exposure apparatus does not use a projection optical system.

A position indicator includes a resonance circuit housed in a casing and having an inductance element and a capacitor variable in capacitance, such that the resonance circuit resonates at a predetermined frequency. The position indicator is electromagnetically coupled to a position detecting device. The capacitor includes a dielectric, an electrode disposed on one side of the dielectric, and a trimming electrode disposed on another side of the dielectric such that at least one part of a region of the trimming electrode is opposed to the electrode with the dielectric interposed in between, to form the capacitance of the capacitor. The capacitor is housed in the casing such that the at least one part can be exposed from the casing. The area of the at least one part exposed from the casing to the outside is changed so as to correspond to a resonance frequency desired for the resonance circuit.
