    摘要: A crucible for growing a single crystal therein has a seed crystal attachment portion and a peripheral portion surrounding the seed crystal attachment portion through a gap provided therebetween. The seed crystal attachment portion has a support surface for holding a seed crystal on which the single crystal is to be grown, and the support surface is recessed from a surface of the peripheral portion. The seed crystal is attached to the support surface to cover an entire area of the support surface. Accordingly, no poly crystal is formed on the seed crystal attachment portion, and the single crystal can be grown on the seed crystal with high quality.

    摘要: White light projected from a white light source is divided into three light beams of primary colors, i.e., red, green and blue by a dichroic mirror. Three light beams projected from the dichroic mirror are made incident upon a micro-lens array and reflected on and modulated in a liquid crystal panel disposed beneath the micro-lens array. The liquid crystal panel is driven by a driver circuit which supplies color signals to the panel, thereby modulating the light beams in the panel. The modulated light beams are projected from the micro-lens array to a schlieren diaphragm which eliminates scattered light components from the light beams. The light beams then enter into a projection lens and display color images on the screen. Since light beams constituting a picture element consisting of red, green and blue colors are projected from a single micro-lens of the micro-lens array, a color image displayed on the screen has no blur among three primary colors. Since the three primary color beams are projected on the liquid crystal panel and modulated therein, only a single liquid crystal panel having no color filters is used in the display device.

    摘要: When a SiC substrate is heated up to around 1800°C., sublimation of SiC occurs from the SiC substrate. Moreover, temperature of the front surface of the SiC substrate is lower than that of the back surface of the SiC substrate. Therefore, sublimation gas sublimed from a back-surface vicinity of the substrate, where temperature is high, moves to a front-surface vicinity of the substrate, where temperature is low, through the hollow micro-pipe defect. Epitaxial growth proceeds on the front surface of the substrate while the sublimation gas is recrystallized at the front-surface vicinity of the substrate, so that the micro-pipe defect is occluded.

    摘要: A crucible, which has first member and second cylindrical body, is disposed in a lower chamber. A pedestal is disposed inside the first member, and a seed crystal is fixed to the pedestal. A second heat insulator is provided between an inlet conduit and a crucible. A first heat insulator is provided at a halfway portion of the inlet conduit. With these heat insulators, a temperature gradient occurs in the inlet conduit at a portion thereof that is closer to the crucible. A mixture gas is introduced into the crucible. The mixture gas is heated up gradually when passing through the inlet conduit and is introduced into the crucible to form SiC single crystals in high quality.

    摘要: A crucible has first member and second cylindrical body, and is disposed in a lower chamber. The fist member is disposed in the second cylindrical body so as to define a gas flow path formed therebetween as a gap. A pedestal is disposed inside the first member. A seed crystal is fixed to the pedestal. SiC single crystals are formed on the pedestal by introducing a mixture gas through an inlet conduit. During growth of the SiC single crystals, conductance in introduction of the mixture gas into the crucible is larger than that in exhaust of the mixture gas, so that pressure of the mixture gas in the crucible is larger than that of the mixture gas after exhausted from the crucible.
