Patent number: 7527850Abstract: A foam filling member having a foaming base material in sheet form which is simplified in structure so that it can be formed into a predetermined shape corresponding to a shape of a space of a structure with an improved working efficiency and can also be placed in a space of the structure with an improved working efficiency, without any need of the sticking to a wall surface of a partition wall defining the space of the structure. Incisions 4, 5, 6, 7, cut in partway along a thickness direction of the foaming base material 2 along a bending portion and cuts 9, 10 passing through in the thickness direction are formed in the foaming base material 2. By simply bending or folding the foaming base material 2 along the incisions 4, 5, 6, 7 and the cuts 9, 10, the foam filling member 1 can be formed in a three-dimensional shape corresponding to an interior space of a pillar and thus can be set in place in the interior space.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Shinji Muto, Kazuhiko Kinpara, Takehiro Ui

Publication number: 20080230181Abstract: A structure, for use in a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus in which a plasma process is performed on a target substrate, includes a base member at least having a first surface and a second surface; and a thermally sprayed insulating film covering the first surface. Further, the structure includes an insulating protection member covering the second surface and made of a material having a linear expansion coefficient different from that of the base member; and a buffing surface covered with an insulating layer interposed between the thermally sprayed insulating film and the insulating protection member to prevent a contact therebetween. The thermally sprayed insulating film, the insulating protection member and the insulating layer constitute an insulating surface covering the first surface and the second surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2008Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Masakazu HIGUMA, Shinji Muto

Patent number: 7335413Abstract: A foam filling member having simplified structure is provided that may be produced with improved working efficiency and at low cost. Additionally, the invention enables a reduction in a quantity of foaming material of the foaming base used for filling an interior space of a structure. The foam filling member has an annular wall formed on a supporting plate and an annular foaming portion of the foaming base supported on an outer supporting portion located at the outside of the annular wall on the supporting plate. A plurality of openings are formed in the annular wall and also lugs are formed that project into an inner closed portion at the inside of the annular wall through the respective openings.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Takehiro Ui, Shinji Muto, Kazuhiko Kinpara

Publication number: 20060140688Abstract: A foam filling member that can hold a foam sheet in a looped shape stably, without increasing the number of components, to provide improved vibration suppression and sound insulation. The strip-like foam sheet is formed in a looped shape by bending round it, so that both end portions of the foam sheet are overlapped with each other in a thickness direction thereof to form an overlapped portion therein. Then, insertion shafts of a clip are inserted through the overlapped portion, so that the overlapped portion is held in sandwich relation between a base portion and a head portion to form a foam filling member. Then, a supporting portion of the fixing portion of the clip is inserted in a fixing hole of an inner panel and fixed to the inner panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Kinpara, Shinji Muto, Shinpei Nishikawa, Takehiro Ui

Patent number: 7067178Abstract: The susceptor (10) of a plasma treating device, or the electrostatic chuck (12) of a substrate table is formed by ceramic thermal spray method. A ceramic spray layer (12A) is pore-sealed by methacrylic resin (12D). Resin raw material mainly containing methyl methacrylate is applied to and impregnated into the ceramic spray layer and then is cured to thereby fill pores between ceramic particles in the ceramic spray layer with methacrylic resin. Methacrylic resin raw material solution, which does not produce pores at curing, can complete perfect pore sealing.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Shinji Muto, Chihiro Taguchi, Nobuyuki Okayama

Publication number: 20050249936Abstract: A foam filling member which is simplified in structure so that it can be produced with improved working efficiency and at low cost and can also reduce a quantity of foaming material of the foaming base material used for filling an interior space of a structure to leave no space therein. In the foam filling member 1 having an annular wall 5 formed on a supporting plate 4 and an annular foaming portion 16 of the foaming base material 3 supported on an outer supporting portion 9 located at the outside of the annular wall 5 on the supporting plate 4, a plurality of openings 10 are formed in the annular wall 5 and also lugs 18 projecting to an inner closed portion 8 at the inside of the annular wall 5 through the respective openings 10 are formed in the foaming base material 3. In the foam filling member 1 thus constructed, the holder 2 can be formed in a simple manner and thus can be produced at a low cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2005Publication date: November 10, 2005Applicant: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Takehiro Ui, Shinji Muto, Kazuhiko Kinpara

Publication number: 20050042881Abstract: The time period during which a wafer is stabilized to a predetermined temperature by increasing a thermal conductivity of a junction layer for bonding an electrostatic chuck layer and a support together, and the deterioration of the junction layer that is caused by active species generated by plasma is suppressed. Between the electrostatic chuck layer formed by sintering together a chuck electrode made of tungsten and an insulating layer made of alumina and the support, made of aluminum, for supporting the electrostatic chuck layer, the junction layer is provided to bond the electrostatic chuck layer and the support together. The junction layer is formed by impregnating a porous ceramic with a silicone-based adhesive resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2004Publication date: February 24, 2005Applicant: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Shinya Nishimoto, Masakazu Higuma, Shinji Muto, Hisashi Fujiwara, Hiroyuki Nakayama, Yoshinori Shimanuki
