Abstract: A metal film such as an aluminum film or an aluminum alloy film is etched with good controllability, preventing a resist from bleeding, to have a proper taper configuration and superior flatness. A water solution containing a phosphoric acid, a nitric acid, and an organic acid salt is used as an etching liquid composition used to etch the metal film on a substrate. The organic acid salt is composed of one kind selected from a group consisting of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid, an aliphatic oxicarboxylic acid, an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, an aromatic polycarboxylic acid and an aromatic oxycarboxylic acid, and one kind selected from a group consisting of an ammonium salt, an amine salt, a quaternary ammonium salt, and an alkali metal salt. In addition, a concentration of the organic acid salt ranges from 0.1% to 20% by weight.

Abstract: An absorbent sheet 10 including a fibrous material 11 and superabsorbent polymer particles 12. The superabsorbent polymer particles 12 are held by the fibrous material 11 and distributed in the thickness direction of the absorbent sheet 10. The superabsorbent polymer particles 12 are not substantially exposed on the surface of the absorbent sheet 10. The absorbent sheet 10 contains, around at least part of the superabsorbent polymer particles 12, voids 13 having size sufficient to accommodate a swell of the polymer particles 12 due to liquid absorption. The superabsorbent polymer particles 12 preferably have a particle size distribution in which 40% by weight or more of the particles have a particle size of 250 ?m or greater.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable top layer, a liquid-impermeable back layer, and a liquid retentive absorbent member, interposed between the top layer and the back layer. The absorbent member is arranged to form an opposing pair of barrier cuffs which are within longitudinal edges of the top layer and extend along the longitudinal edges. A pocket portion is formed between the pair of barrier cuffs.
