A method of access of a probe electrode to a recording medium having on the surface thereof an edge portion having a level difference larger than a recording recess-projection or having an electron state different from a recording electron state includes steps of detecting the edge portion; causing the probe electrode to scan at a certain angle to the edge portion; and moving the recording medium in a direction along the edge portion. A method for processing information including recording, reproducing, and erasing of information by access of a probe electrode to a recording medium having on the surface thereof an edge portion having a level difference larger than a recording recess-projection or having an electron state different from a recording electron state includes steps of detecting the edge portion; causing the probe electrode to scan at a certain angle to the edge portion; and applying a pulse voltage for recording, or erasing, or a bias voltage for reproducing information between the recording medium and the probe electrode.
摘要:
A microtip has a tip portion formed by gathering of three crystal faces of a single crystal, at least one of the crystal faces being an etched face at and around the tip portion. The microtip is produced by breaking and splitting a single crystal by applying a stress, and subjecting the face formed by breaking of the single crystal to anisotropic etching by utilizing facial orientation, thus forming a tip portion as a gathering point of three crystal faces of the single crystal. A surface-observing apparatus for observing a surface of a specimen and an information-treating apparatus comprise a tip in proximity to the specimen to be observed or a recording medium, and conduct the surface observation or the writing or reading by using the tip, respectively.
摘要:
A parallel plane holding mechanism is constructed as follows. Beams are provided on the peripheral portion of a flat plate-shaped weight member. A base plate is provided so as to face the weight member. First and second electrodes are provided on both surfaces of the weight member and the base plate to face each other. A voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode so that the distance between the weight member and the base plate is controlled to move the weight member to thereby hold a reference surface of the weight member to be parallel to a predetermined reference surface.

An image forming apparatus, according to the present invention, comprises a first substrate whereon are provided a functional element and electric wiring that is connected to the functional element, and a second substrate whereon is an area where an image is to be formed, and wherein, with the first substrate and the second substrate being located opposite to each other, space between the first substrate and the second substrate is kept in a pressure-reduced state so as to form an image in the area on the second substrate, and wherein the electric wiring is formed of a laminated conductive material by a process that plates a printed pattern, which is initially deposited by a printing process.
摘要:
After a recessed portion 2 is formed in a first substrate made of single crystal silicon by crystal axis anisotropic etching, a peeling layer and a material of a fine tip which may be a noble metal or a noble metal alloy are formed. A second substrate is joined to the fine tip, and peeling is performed on the peeling layer, whereby the fine tip is formed on the second substrate.
