  • Patent number: 6614190
    Abstract: A wafer holder for holding a wafer includes a wafer holder base, a wafer fixing part, holder pins, a bearing, a housing, and a coil spring. The wafer fixing part is fixed to an outer circumference of a wafer holder. The holder pins are arranged to face the wafer fixing part. The holder pin is rotatably supported by the bearing. The holder pins are movably supported along the diameter direction of the wafer holder base by the coil spring. In the process of holding a side of the wafer with the holder pins, when force from the wafer works on the holder pins, the holder pins are rotated with a Z axis as a center, thus reducing frictional force between the holder pin and the wafer. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent particle generation from holding an implanting object.

  • Patent number: 6521734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a low-density polyethylene resin for laminates, a composition thereof, and a laminate and production method therefor. The low-density polyethylene resin is one obtainable by a high pressure radical polymerization method and has a density of 0.910 to 0.935 g/cm3, a melt flow rate of 0.1 to 300 g/10 min., and a terminal vinyl group number of 0.4 or more per 1,000 carbon atoms. According to the invention, a laminate having high interlayer adhesion strength can be obtained also by low-temperature, high-speed molding so that the occurrence of smoking and odor can be prevented. Also, the resin is excellent in productivity and economics. Further, the resin is excellent in productivity and economics because it can be readily made thinner. The laminate is suitable for application to, for example, food wrapping materials, containers, etc.
