For a surface processing apparatus using a plasma, a mixed gas of a fluorine-containing gas and an oxygen gas is used as an ashing gas. A mixed gas of an oxygen gas and a fluorine-containing gas is introduced as an ashing gas. This allows the following steps to be carried out at the same time: removal of the silicon component left on the mask material surface and the mask material in the area including the cured mask layer and the like; and the removal of the carbon-based, and silicon-based deposits deposited on the inner wall of a vacuum chamber. In addition, the removal of the mask material is performed under low pressure, and in the subsequent step to a step using a mixed gas of a fluorine-containing gas and an oxygen gas, a plasma of only an oxygen gas is used. As a result, it becomes possible to reduce the damages (etching) to the film layer after etching.

An apparatus for performing a plasma-etching of a LSI device including a Cu interconnection, a low-k film, and a diffusion prevention film has a treatment chamber, into which an etching gas is introduced, and a support table which is equipped with electrodes and on which said LSI device is placed. In this apparatus, the etching gasses are turned into plasma by supplying radio frequency power to electrodes provided within the treatment chamber, so that the LSI device is etched with ions of the plasma. In this apparatus, a sulfur-containing gas and a fluorine-containing gas are mixed to the etching gasses, so that the diffusion prevention film is selectively etched against the low-k film.

In an optical transfer system, an optical transmission unit generates an optical signal in which respective polarization components are alternately present on a time axis, a time period during which the respective polarization components are simultaneously present on the time axis is substantially zero, and a symbol repetition cycle of optical signals of the respective polarization components becomes Ts, an optical reception unit causes an interference between local oscillation light and a received optical signal and converts an interfered optical signal to an electric signal, and a received electric-signal processing unit performs analog-digital conversion of an electric signal, elimination of a delay difference of Ts/2 between the respective polarized signal components, and adaptive equalization of a distortion other than the delay difference.

An image reading apparatus includes a drive unit that is mounted on a carriage having an image reading sensor, which is moved with respect to an original, mounted thereon and moves the carriage. The drive unit includes: a motor; a gear train for transmitting rotation of the motor so as to move the carriage; an encoder sensor for reading a code wheel fixed to a rotary shaft of the motor; and a support member for holding the motor. The encoder sensor is urged against a part of the support member by a resilient member, to be thus fixed to the support member.

An optical transmitter generating an arbitrary optical waveform including an analog optical waveform, which is capable of controlling a bias to a Null point easily. The optical transmitter modulates light from a light source by an optical modulator with use of a data sequence being an electric signal, to thereby generate the arbitrary optical waveform, and includes: a light intensity detector detecting intensity of output light of the optical modulator; a data signal generator generating the data sequence; an average modulation degree calculator calculating an average modulation degree of the data sequence based on the data sequence; and a bias controller performing bias control on the optical modulator based on the intensity of the output light detected by the light intensity detector and the average modulation degree of the data sequence calculated by the average modulation degree calculator.

There is provided a running device for track-laying vehicle, which can resolve a feeling of fear of falling height in a leading end portion of a crawler while relax a large impact when the crawler runs over a raised contact area. The running device includes a spring constant equalizing unit that equalizes an apparent spring constant of a second arm of lower track roller bogie device over a total length. The apparent spring constant is generated in maximum reverse camber of the crawler. The spring constant equalizing unit increases an oscillation angle α of the second arm that can abut on the first arm in the maximum reverse camber of the crawler such that the oscillation angle α of the second arm is larger than a crossing angle β of the connecting link. Desirably the increased maximum oscillation angle of the second arm is 1.3-2.0 times the crossing angle β.
