Abstract:
A hollow-fiber porous membrane comprising a hollow fiber-form porous membrane of vinylidene fluoride resin and having an average pore size Pm of 0.05-0.20 μm, a maximum pore size Pmax giving a ratio Pmax/Pm of at most 2.0 between the maximum pore size Pmax and the average pore size Pm and a standard deviation of pore size distribution of at most 0.20 μm based on a pore size distribution according to the half dry/bubble point method (ASTM•F316 and ASTM•E1294) is provided, as a hollow-fiber porous membrane of vinylidene fluoride resin having minute pores with a size (average pore diameter) and a further uniform pore size distribution suitable for water (filtration) treatment. The hollow-fiber porous membrane is produced through a process of producing a hollow-fiber porous membrane by melt-extruding a mixture of a vinylidene fluoride resin, a plasticizer and a good solvent for vinylidene fluoride resin into a hollow fiber-form, followed by cooling and extraction of the plasticizer, wherein the proportion of the good solvent in the total amount of the plasticizer and the good solvent contained in the mixture is increased to 20-35 wt. %.
Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter provides a composite semiconductor device which can include a common substrate, a first semiconductor light emitting structure, and a second semiconductor light emitting structure. The first semiconductor light emitting structure can include an epitaxial grown layer containing a light emitting layer formed on part of the common substrate either directly or via a bonding layer. The second semiconductor light emitting structure can be provided in a notch at at least one location to which the epitaxial grown layer is not bonded, or in a recess formed in the notch at one location. The disclosed subject matter also provides a method of manufacturing a composite semiconductor device having the above-described and other structures.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device manufacturing method can produce semiconductor light emitting/detecting devices that have high connective strength and high luminous energy by increasing contact areas of electrodes thereof and decreasing enclosed areas of electrodes thereof. A wafer is provided with a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor epitaxial layer. A plurality of substrate concave portions and epitaxial layer concave portions are formed on the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor epitaxial layer, respectively. Substrate electrodes and epitaxial layer electrodes are formed in the substrate concave portions and the epitaxial layer concave portions. A substrate surface electrode and an epitaxial layer surface electrode can be formed on the semiconductor substrate and the substrate electrodes and the semiconductor epitaxial layer and the epitaxial layer electrodes, respectively. The wafer can be diced at a location that includes both the substrate electrodes and the epitaxial layer electrodes, and can then be separated to provide the device(s).
