摘要:
A converter that records or reproduces information to or from a recording medium while making a movement relative to the recording medium is mounted on a slider. The slider has at least a pair of openings on a side face thereof, and airflow generated by the movement relative to the recording medium flows in via one of the paired openings, passes in a vicinity of a surface of the converter other than a surface thereof facing the recording medium, and thereafter flows out via the other one of the paired openings. With this, the ability to cool the converter is improved.

A digital camera includes: an image capturing section; an image data generation section; a display section; a recording/reproducing section; a data communication section; and a control section. The image data generation section generates image data, which represents the image of the object that is captured by the image capturing section, and index data associated with the image data. The display section displays the image data and the index data. The recording/reproducing section records the image data and the index data in a memory section and reproduces the image data and the index data recorded in the memory section. The data communication section sends the image data and the index data, which are recorded in the memory section, to an external device, and receives image data and index data from the external device. The control section controls the image data generation section, the recording/reproducing section, and the data communication section.

An observation optical system comprises an image display element and an eyepiece optical system which introduces an image formed by the image display element to a center of an eye of an observer without forming an intermediate image, so as to allow the observer to observe the image as a virtual image. The eyepiece optical system is constructed and arranged to bend the optical axis using reflecting surfaces so as to be compact. The image observation optical system can be made compact enough to be usable as an image display unit for a cellular phone or a portable intelligent terminal, and can achieve high image definition and wide field angle while controlling chromatic aberration of magnification to be small.

Tilt correction means is operated so that the degree of modulation represented by the ratio of the amount of the detected reflected light from the groove areas G and the amount of the detected reflected light from the flat land areas L becomes maximal in a state wherein focus servo-control is made effective. Hence, the present invention can provide a system applicable to all optical disks including recording types and reproduction-only types, and capable of detecting a tilt correction signal without providing any special countermeasures on optical disks and devices, whereby it is possible to obtain an optical recording apparatus not adversely affecting the usage feeling of a user.

An optical disc clamp mechanism that is capable of selectively playing back either of a compact disc or a mini disc. The clamp mechanism includes a circular disc receiving section for contacting a reference surface of either of the compact disc or the mini disc and further includes a magnetic clamp unit for clamping the mini disc by magnetic attraction with a magnetically attractable member of the mini disc. A first conical or spherical taper cone portion for engaging the center hole of the mini disc is mounted to the disc receiving section and a second conical or spherical taper cone portion for engaging the center hole of the compact disc is mounted to the disc receiving section. The first taper cone portion is located inwardly of the second taper cone portion and protrudes from the second taper cone portion in the axial direction. The magnetic clamp unit further includes a stopper element for preventing detachment of the first and second taper cone portions from the disc receiving section. Accordingly, the optical disc clamp mechanism independently affects the centering of a mini disc and a compact disc to allow either of the discs to be centered.

Disclosed is a semiconductor device using a polycrystalline compound semiconductor with a low resistance as a low resistance layer, and its fabrication method. The above polycrystalline compound semiconductor layer is doped with C or Be as impurities in a large amount, and is extremely low in resistance. The polycrystalline compound semiconductor layer is formed by either of a molecular beam epitaxy method, an organometallic vapor phase epitaxy method and an organometallic molecular beam epitaxy method under the condition that a substrate temperature is 450.degree. C. or less and the ratio of partial pressure of a V-group element to a III-group element is 50 or more. In the case that the above polycrystaline compound semiconductor layer with a low resistance is used as an extrinsic base region of an heterojunction bipolar transistor, since the extrinsic base region can be formed on a dielectric film formed on a collector, it is possible to reduce the base-collector capacitance, and hence to enhance the operational speed of the heterojunction bipolar transistor.

An optical head is mounted in an optical disk apparatus that optically records or reproduces information on or from an information recording medium having a magnetooptical effect. The optical head includes a laser diode for emitting a P-polarized beam and a first hologram element on which the P-polarized beam is incident and which diffracts the P-polarized beam more in zeroth order than in higher orders but diffracts an S-polarized beam perpendicular to the P-polarized beam more in higher orders than in zeroth order. The zeroth order P-polarized beam emitted from the laser diode is focused on the information recording medium by the first hologram element or an objective lens interposed between the first hologram element and the information recording medium. One or more second hologram elements are placed between the first hologram element and the laser diode and split a beam reflected from the information recording medium and then diffracted by the first hologram element into beams having respective planes of polarization perpendicular to each other. A plurality of optical detectors for detecting the beams transmitted through the second hologram elements are disposed in line with the laser diode.

An impurity diffusion method which can control a surface atomic concentration from a low to a high surface atomic concentration with a good uniformity is provided. Natural oxide is removed from the surface of a semiconductor substrate with a deoxidizing atmosphere gas as a diffusion atmosphere gas in advance, and then an impurity gas is passed thereto, while passing the deoxidizing atmosphere gas thereto, thereby conducting the diffusion. Flow rate or concentration of impurity of the impurity gas is so set that the impurity atomic concentration of the diffusion layer can be controlled by the flow rate or the concentration of impurity of the impurity gas. The impurity atomic concentration of the diffusion layer can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate or concentration of impurity of the impurity gas, and a diffusion layer having a low impurity atomic concentration can be formed. A shallow junction having a depth of not more than 50 nm can be formed.

An objective lens actuator drives an objective lens in a radial direction of a disklike recording medium parallel to a face of the recording medium and in a direction of an optical axis vertical to the face of the recording medium such that information can be optically written on or read from the recording medium. The objective lens actuator includes a substantially U-shaped lens holder at an approximately central portion of which the objective lens is supported, a pair of drive members for driving the lens holder, which are provided at opposite end portions of the lens holder, respectively, a base member, and four rodlike elastic members supporting the lens holder. Each of the elastic members has one end fixed to the base member. The other end of each of two of the elastic members is fixed to a distal portion of a first leg of the lens holder adjacent the base member. The other end of each of the other two elastic members is fixed to a proximal portion of a second leg of the lens holder remote from the base member.
