Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a target plate for a color television camera tube comprising a face plate including a fiber plate and a photoconductive target electrode having nonconductive portions of a stripe shape and provided on the inner surface of the face plate, comprising the steps of successively forming a transparent conductive film and a photoresist film on the inner surface of the face plate, setting an optical mask on the outer surface of the face plate, irradiating ultraviolet rays on the photoresist film through the photomask and the face plate to selectively expose the photoresist film to the ultraviolet rays and developing the photoresist film to obtain an apertured photoresist film to form the nonconductive portions.
Abstract:
An improved method of manufacturing series gate type matrix circuits by a self-alignment technique is provided. In this method, the drain and the source of a selected MOS field-effect transistor are short-circuited by a diffused region of a semiconductivity type opposite to that of a silicon substrate and formed prior to the formation of a gate portion. This method eliminates the use of interconnecting conductors for shortcircuiting the drains and the sources with the result that the surface area of the substrate which might have been occupied by such interconnecting conductors may be dispensed with to facilitate integration and moreover any desired matrix circuit may be formed by controlling conduction of such diffused regions.
Abstract:
A high-pressure metal-vapor discharge tube having improved characteristics is disclosed. The tube has an alumina hollow discharge enclosure tube member, the ends of which are sealed by alumina end disks. The end disks have central apertures through which electrode lead in wires or rods extend into the discharge enclosure. The lead in wires or rods are made of a material which is resistant to the corrosive effects of metal halide. The hollow discharge enclosure tube member has walls which are thicker at the two ends than in the intermediate region of the tube member. Preferably, the ends are more than twice as thick as the central walls. This results in a stronger seal between the alumina end disks and the tube member, thus not only avoiding the risk of breakage when sealing the tube member and manufacturing defects such as a defective seal, but also ensuring longer life of the lamp.
Abstract:
In a character generating device in which character signals are generated by scanning a character plate having character slits therein, with an electron beam, a signal developed across a load connected with an electrode provided in front of the character plate with respect to the travel of the beam by collecting with said electrode the secondary electrons emitted from a portion of the surface of said character plate other than said character slits when said beam hits against that portion and a signal developed across a load connected with a collector electrode provided in rear of the character plate with respect to the travel of the electron beam by collecting with the character plate the secondary electrons emitted from the collector electrode when the beam passes through the character slits of the character plate and impinges on the collector electrode, have the same polarity and both the signals are added through respective coupling capacitors to produce a composite signal. The composite signal is opposite in polarity to the signal developed across the load connected with the character plate. Accordingly, if the composite signal and the signal across the load connected with the character plate are differentially combined and thereafter applied to an external circuit, then an output representing any character signal can be increased in magnitude. Consequently, since a high level output signal is obtained without increasing the electron beam current according to the proposed device, the resolution or character generating capacity is improved. If the resolution need not be so high, the accelerating voltage can be accordingly reduced.

Abstract:
A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH AT LEAST ONE PN JUNCTION AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME WHEREIN A PASSIVATING FILM OR A SURFACE FILM FOR INSULATION IS MADE OF A CHEMICAL MIXTURE OF OXIDES COMPOSED OF SIO2-TIO2 SO THAT THE BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE AND ELECTRICAL STABILITY OF SAID PN JUNCTION CAN BE INCREASED. THIS EFFECT IS BASED ON THE SUPPRESSION OF MOVEMENT OF ALKALI IONS IN SAID FILM WITH THE MIXTURE OF OXIDES. THE FILM WITH THE MIXTURE OF OXIDES COMPOSED OF SIO2-TIO2 IS OBTAINED WITH A METHOD WHERE VAPORS OF ORGANO-OXY-SILICON COMPOUND AND ORGANO-OXY-TITANIUM COMPOUND ARE LED INTO A SUBSTRATE, WHICH IS HEATED AND SUSTAINED AT A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE, AND PYROLIZED ON A SURFACE OF THE SUBSTRATE TO MAKE THE FILM.
Abstract:
A multivibrator circuit comprising two transistors and a capacitor connected across the collector and base of one of the transistors. The said capacitor serves to extend the time required for the reversal of current into a capacitor determining the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator to thereby prevent the generation of high frequency noise.
