To this end, there is provided a polysilicon film evaluation apparatus 1 including a stage 25 on which to set a substrate W carrying a polysilicon film, an optical system for observation with the visible light 4, 8, 12, 40a for illuminating the visible light on a substrate W on the stage to photograph a surface image of the polysilicon film on the substrate W to effect auto-focusing, an optical system for observation with UV light 6, 10, 40b for illuminating the UV light on the substrate on the stage to acquire a surface image of the polysilicon film of the substrate, auto-focused using the optical system for observation with the visible light, and an evaluating unit 51 for evaluating the linearity and periodicity of a spatial structure of the film surface of the polysilicon film, from a surface image of the polysilicon film obtained by the optical system for observation with UV light, to evaluate the status of the polysilicon film based on the results of evaluation of the linearity and periodicity.
摘要:
The state of a polysilicon film formed by excimer laser annealing an amorphous silicon film is to be evaluated. When the amorphous silicon film is annealed to form a polysilicon film, linearity or periodicity presents itself in the spatial structure of the film surface of the polysilicon film formed depending on the energy applied to the amorphous silicon during annealing. This linearity or periodicity is processed as an image and represented numerically from the image by exploiting the linearity or periodicity. The state of the polysilicon film is checked based on the numerical results.

A rotation sensor device for a wheel including a core metal member configured to attach to an outer member of a wheel bearing device and having a containment recess protruding in a direction of a pulser ring provided on an inner member. The rotation sensor device further includes a sensing portion formed by molding a sensor element with a synthetic resin material as a separate component from the core metal member. The sensing portion is fixed within the containment recess and positioned opposite the pulser ring with a bottom wall of the containment recess positioned therebetween.

In an ammonia sensor (1), lead portions (7) and (9) are provided on an insulating substrate (5); a pair of comb-shaped electrodes (11) and (13) are connected to the lead portions (7) and (9), respectively; a sensitive layer (15) is provided on the comb-shaped electrodes (11) and (13); and a protective layer (17) is provided on the sensitive layer (15). Particularly, the sensitive layer (15) is formed of a gas-sensitive raw material predominantly containing ZrO2 and containing at least W in an amount of 2 to 40 wt. % as reduced to WO3.

A rotation sensor includes a rotation detector mounted on a holder which is in turn inserted in a casing through its opening. A cover is formed by molding a resin so as to cover the opening of the casing and the portion of the holder protruding from the opening of the casing. A pair of relay terminals extend through a base portion of the holder and a gap defined in the holder, are fixed to a support wall, and connected to respective lead pieces of the detector. A resin cover is formed by molding a resin. When forming the cover, pressure is applied to the holder, thereby causing the holder to bulge axially in the holder. This in turn pushes the relay terminals in the axial direction. But since the relay terminals are fixed to the support wall, the support wall will absorb such pushing force, thereby preventing such pushing from being transmitted to the detector. In order to more effectively absorb such pushing force, the relay terminals may be provided with bent portions in the gap.

A wheel speed sensor includes a rotation detector mounted in an opening formed in a holder which is in turn inserted in a casing having one end closed. A pair of lead pieces extend from the detector and have connecting portions connected to respective relay terminals. A lid having a projection is fitted in the opening of the holder so that the projection is inserted between the connecting portions. The projection thus separates and insulates the connecting portions from each other. A cover is formed by molding a resin to cover the open end of the casing and the portion of the holder protruding from the open end of the casing.

A high speed, wide-range, high-accuracy positioning stage device for eliminating errors due to deterministic elements such as variation of surface machining accuracy of a bar mirror and for preventing error accumulation due to indeterminate elements such as air fluctuations when switching between laser interferometers. When an X1 laser interferometer as a first position measurement device and an X2 laser interferometer as a second position measurement device are switched, at a place at which at least two position measurement devices are activated, when a value is handed over from the X1 laser interferometer, which was activated, to the X2 laser interferometer, which is to be activated, errors due to the effect of X-bar mirror flatness and air fluctuations are found by a correction function for the X-bar mirror and/or a table and the average of the measured values, and the value of the X2 laser interferometer is corrected by a correction device such as a calculation device.
