摘要:
A chip carrier has an electrically insulating substrate with through holes and a multilayer structure formed on the substrate. The multilayer structure includes an electrical conductor pattern for electrical connection with through hole conductors provided in the through holes and for electrical connection with an IC chip. The through hole conductors have their ends protruding from one surface of the substrate on which registration layers are formed for electrically interconnecting the through hole conductors and the electrical conductor pattern in the multilayer structure. The surface of the protruding end of each of the through hole conductors is generally continuously convexly curved and has a maximum height at or in the vicinity of its central portion with the height being measured from the surface of the substrate.

A thin plate such as a magnetic disk substrate is rotatably placed in a hole of a carrier provided between upper and lower surface plates forming a dynamic pressure producing surface in a temperature-controlled polishing liquid. When the number of revolutions of the surface plates increases, the dynamic pressure effect of the polishing agent is produced between the surface-plate surface and the substrate surface so that the substrate is polished in the non-contact state with the surface plate. The substrate surface is polished by fine free abrasive grains in the polishing liquid flowing between the surface plate and the substrate to provide a high plane degree to which surface precision of the surface plate is transferred. The present invention makes employs a float polishing, and is particularly suit to surface polishing of a thin plate such as a magnetic disk substrate which resets a residual processed strain. A magnetic disk having an excellent surface state can be realized.

In a liquid crystal display device that uses a top gate TFT, a contact hole is formed to connect to an image signal line. An inorganic passivation film and an organic passivation film are formed in this order so as to cover the TFT, on which a common electrode is formed. Then, an interlayer insulating film is formed on the common electrode. A through hole for gas release is formed in the interlayer insulating film. The diameter of the through hole is greater than the diameter of the contact hole, so as to be able to easily release gas from the organic passivation film, and to prevent the interlayer insulating film from peeling off.

A gallium nitride-based epitaxial wafer for a nitride light-emitting device comprises a gallium nitride substrate having a primary surface, a gallium nitride-based semiconductor film provided on the primary surface, and, an active layer provided on the semiconductor film, the active layer having a quantum well structure. A normal line of the primary surface and a C-axis of the gallium nitride substrate form an off angle with each other. The off angle monotonically increases on the line that extends from one point to another point through a center point of the primary surface. The one point and the other point are on an edge of the primary surface, and indium contents of the well layer defined at n points on the line monotonically decrease in a direction from the one point to the other point. The thickness values of the well layer defined at the n points monotonically increase in the direction.

A method for embedding digital watermark data in digital data contents includes the steps of obtaining a frequency coefficient of block data of digital data contents, obtaining a complexity of the block data, obtaining an amount of transformation of the frequency coefficient from the complexity and the digital watermark data, and embedding the digital watermark data by transforming the frequency coefficient. In addition, a method for reading digital watermark data includes the steps of calculating a probability of reading ‘1’ or ‘0’ in a read bit sequence by using a test method on the basis of binary distribution, determining the presence or absence of digital watermark data according to the probability, and reconstituting digital watermark data. Another method includes the steps of performing soft decision in code theory by assigning weights to the digital watermark sequence with a weighting function, and reconstituting digital watermark data.

Content data and metadata are obtained and reproduced, and combination interface information defining information necessary for executing combination operation on the contents is generated. The combination operation on the contents is controlled by following combination data definition based on the combination interface information and, as necessary, by using external input information entered from an external unit. The combination feedback information for controlling the reproduction operation of the contents and metadata is generated, and the reproduction operation on the contents is controlled based on the combination feedback information.
