  • Patent number: 7700924
    Abstract: A scintillator element 2 has a rod-like base material 11, and a scintillator 12 is formed by being vapor deposited radially onto a side face of the base material 11. A plurality of these scintillator elements 2 are aligned and bundled together to form a scintillator unit 1. By mounting a solid-state image pickup element 20 to an open face of a case 3 of the scintillator unit 1, an image sensor M, which serves as a radiation detector, is formed. The image sensor M can be adjusted in size by adjusting the number, etc., of the scintillator elements 2.

  • Publication number: 20100062763
    Abstract: A controller of a mobile communication apparatus, such as a cellular phone, that detects operator information based on a radio signal transmitted from a base station and checks whether the operator information has changed while maintaining the same roaming status information. When the controller detects that the operator information changed, the controller transmits one of the same roaming status information and service status information to an external device which is connected via a short-range communication link.

  • Patent number: 7649186
    Abstract: In an EUV focusing mirror in which there are several thin concave nested high precision mirrors in the form of an ellipsoid of revolution, a paraboloid of revolution, a Wolter type or the like, the sides which do not constitute the reflection surfaces are made in the shape of a knife edge at the radiation incident ends of the respective mirrors in order not to be shielded by the thickness of the radiation incidence sides of the respective mirrors. Likewise, the radiation exit ends of the respective mirrors are made in the form of a knife edge. This yields an advantageous far-field distribution use of the mirrors for an EUV radiation source device and the degree of reduction of the light intensity can be made smaller than in the conventional case.

  • Patent number: 7626188
    Abstract: Electrode ablation is controlled in EUV light source device that gasifies a raw material by irradiation with an energy beam and produces a high-temperature plasma using electrodes a raw material for plasma is dripped in a space in the vicinity of, but other than, the discharge region and from which the gasified raw material can reach the discharge region between the discharge electrodes and a laser beam irradiates the high-temperature plasma raw material. A gasified high-temperature plasma raw material, gasified by the laser beam, spreads in the direction of the discharge region. At this time, power is applied on a pair of discharge electrodes, the gasified high-temperature plasma raw material is heated and excited to become a high-temperature plasma, and EUV radiation is emitted. This EUV radiation is collected by an EUV collector mirror and sent to lithography equipment.

  • Patent number: 7618511
    Abstract: An auxiliary substrate 20 is overlapped onto a thin substrate 11, and substrate 11 and auxiliary substrate 20 are covered with an organic film 12. Thereafter, a scintillator 13 is formed on a scintillator forming portion 12A of organic film 12 that corresponds to substrate 11. Here, since thickness is added to substrate 11 by auxiliary substrate 20, the warping of substrate 11 is prevented and scintillator 13 is formed uniformly.

  • Patent number: RE40291
    Abstract: Light-receiving devices are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate, bonding pads electrically connected to the light-receiving devices in the respective rows or columns via signal lines are arranged on the outer periphery of the substrate, and a protective passivation film is disposed on the light-receiving devices and signal lines, thereby forming a light-receiving device array. On the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving device array, a scintillator made of columnar crystals of CsI is deposited. On the other hand, a resin frame formed like an elongated frame is disposed inside the bonding pads. Inside this frame, a protective film in which an inorganic film is held between organic films made of Parylene is laminated. The outer periphery of the protective film is in close contact with the resin frame with the aid of the coating resin.
