  • Patent number: 7803209
    Abstract: Provided is an Sb—Te alloy sintered compact sputtering target having at least Sb or Te as its primary component, wherein surface roughness Ra is 0.4 ?m or less, purity excluding gas components is 4N or more, content of gas components as impurities is 1500 ppm or less, and average crystal grain size is 50 ?m or less. With this Sb—Te alloy sintered compact sputtering target, the density of defects having a maximum length of 10 ?m or greater arising in a surface finish by machining is 80 or less in an 800 ?m square. Thus, the Sb—Te alloy sputtering target structure can be uniformalized and refined, generation of cracks in the sintered target can be inhibited, and generation of arcing during sputtering can be inhibited. Further, surface ruggedness caused by sputter erosion can be reduced in order to obtain a high quality Sb—Te alloy sputtering target.

  • Patent number: 7617935
    Abstract: A child-resistant and senior-friendly unit dose package has a hollow container body containing a separate tray carrying a plurality of tablets or like items for being dispensed from the container body. The container body has an end with an opening, and the tray can be slid to a retracted position in which the tray is located within the container body and a dispensing position in which a proximal end part of the tray extends through the opening of the container body. The package includes a separate cap removably securable to the container body to seal the opening and prevent access to the trays. The container body can be positioned in a tray re-loading position that permits a spent tray to be removed from the container body and replaced with a new tray. Thus, the container body is reusable.
