摘要:
A sputtering apparatus including two electrodes, a sputtering target disposed on one of the electrodes, and a gas supply for supplying a discharge gas in a vacuum to produce an electric discharge between the two electrodes and whereby particles sputtered from the target due to impact thereon of ions produced by the discharge, are deposited on a substrate. The target disposed on one electrode is formed into an elongated band and the other electrode is disposed so as to enclose the target. The other electrode is also provided with a magnet for producing a magnetic field thereon, and further includes a narrow elongated slot which defines a narrow sputter particle outlet. The narrow sputter particle outlet permits a pressure to exist near the electrical discharge which is higher than the pressure near the substrate. According to a preferred embodiment, the sputtering apparatus has an ion source combined integrally therewith.

A DC or high frequency ion source comprising a hollow cathode and a substantially hollow anode for applying a DC or alternating voltage; a gas inlet disposed at a first side of the cathode for supplying a discharge gas into the cathode; a cathode heater disposed between the anode and the cathode; a magnet disposed adjacent the anode to thereby improve the uniformity of a plasma; an ion extraction outlet disposed at a second side of the cathode opposite to the gas inlet and having an elongated rectangular shape; and an ion extraction electrode and an acceleration electrode for controlling the energy of extracted ions. Both the anode and cathode comprise substantially hollow boxes. The cathode includes an elongated rectangular cross section and is disposed inside the substantially hollow anode. The ion extraction electrode and the acceleration electrode have an elongated rectangular shape and an opening coextensive with the ion extraction outlet. The ion extraction electrode and the acceleration electrode are disposed adjacent, and aligned with, the ion extraction outlet. The ion source can be formed with an arcuate shape to accommodate round objects. The ion source can also be formed integrally with a sputtering device.

A method for selectively arranging ferritin modified with a peptide, which specifically binds to titanium, to titanium formed on a substrate surface is provided. The method for arranging ferritin of the present invention is characterized in that ferritin is selectively bound on titanium on a substrate by modifying the N-terminal part of ferritin with a peptide which specifically binds to titanium. Also, the method for arranging ferritin of the present invention is characterized in that selectivity for titanium can be markedly improved by adding a nonionic surface activating agent.
摘要:
Without using a script that describes a procedure, document parts are extracted from structured documents and inserted or substituted in a template to synthesize a document. An extraction instruction to retrieve document parts, and repetitive duplication and insertion/substitution instructions are provided to the structured documents. Therefore, document part retrieval, repetitive duplication, and a document part (location) in which a document part is to be inserted or substituted are specified, and instructions retrieved from plural inputted structured documents are dynamically synthesized to create a document processing description, so that a document processing description script becomes unnecessary. Consequently, the inconvenience of managing scripts in addition to original documents is eliminated.

A quantum device is constituted from a two-dimensional array of quantum dots formed from metal atom aggregates contained in a metalloprotein complex. The metalloprotein is arranged on the surface of a substrate having an insulation layer with a pitch of the size of the metalloprotein complex. The diameter of the metal atom aggregates used in the quantum device is 7 nm or smaller, and the pitch of the metalloprotein complex is preferably from 11 to 14 nm.
摘要:
An active matrix circuit for liquid crystal displays includes a plurality of liquid crystal pixels arranged in a matrix, a plurality of scanning lines supplied with selection pulses to select rows of the pixel matrix, a plurality of signal lines supplied with signal voltages which are supplied to the pixels in a selected row, and a plurality of switching elements responsive to the respective selection pulses for supplying the signal voltages to the respective pixels. Each pixel is controlled by two switching elements responsive to selection pulses supplied adjaent to two scanning lines. If one of the two switching elements is defective due to a manufacturing process, it is later electrically isolated from the circuit. The other one can control the respective pixel to operate normally. The switching element may be a transistor or a non-linear device.
