Patent number: 6174750Abstract: In a process for fabricating a radiation detector comprising the step of drifting lithium from one side of a silicon wafer, a boron diffusion layer is formed on the other side of the silicon wafer prior to the drifting step. Therefore, in spite of the tendency of the drift layer to have uneven thickness, the drift layer is allowed to be formed uniformly over the entire area. This eliminates the need to lap the other side of the wafer to expose the drift layer over the entire surface. Also, a PN junction diode is formed on the other side of the wafer, and this makes the completed detector resistant to environmental influences, as opposed to conventional radiation detectors of this type which include a surface barrier type diode.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1999Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Raytech CorporationInventors: Hideaki Onabe, Toshisuke Kashiwagi, Koichi Kawasaki

Patent number: 5685358Abstract: Ge, Si or a Ge-Si alloy are melt-molded to form, for example an optical lens, by heating Ge, Si or a Ge-Si alloy to at least its melting point, and heating a molding die to a temperature above that melting point. The molten material is injected at a predetermined pressure into a cavity of the heated molding die, and then the melt is cooled at that pressure to a temperature just above a temperature at which the melt solidifies. The pressure on the melt is then decreased, and the melt is cooled to the temperature at which it solidifies. The pressure on the solidified melt is increased, and the solidified melt is cooled. After releasing the pressure on the cooled solidified melt, the optical lens, or other molded article, is removed from the die.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1995Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignees: Tokyo Denshi Yakin Co., Ltd., Toshio OhzonoInventors: Koichi Kawasaki, Toshio Ohzono
