  • Patent number: 9616666
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an element substrate, including: forming first and second resists on a predetermined surface of a substrate so that part of the predetermined surface is exposed; etching the substrate with the first and second resists being used as a mask to form a first recess in the substrate; removing the second resist to expose a portion of the substrate that is different from the first recess; etching the substrate with the first resist being used as a mask to deepen the first recess and to form a second recess communicating with the first recess in the substrate; and covering openings of the first and second recesses with an orifice forming member to form a pressure chamber by the first recess and an orifice forming member and to form a flow reducing portion by the second recess and the orifice forming member.

  • Patent number: 9324581
    Abstract: A wafer is mounted to a dicing frame using a holding tape. A plurality of semiconductor devices are provided on a center portion of a major surface of the wafer. A ring-like reinforcing section is provided on a periphery of the major surface. The holding tape is adhered to the major surface The holding tape is heated to at least 0.6 times of melting temperature of the holding tape so as to adhere the holding tape along a step of the ring-like reinforcing section.

  • Patent number: 7329594
    Abstract: An impurity of one conductivity type is ionized and accelerated by electric field before being implanted into a semiconductor layer to form a high concentration impurity region near its surface. Then the semiconductor layer is irradiated with continuous wave laser light for melting and crystallization or recrystallization, through which a region where the concentration of the impurity is constant is formed in the semiconductor layer. The continuous wave laser light irradiation may bring the semiconductor layer to the crystalline phase from the amorphous phase as long as the impurity element is re-distributed. The impurity is segregated through this process to newly create a high concentration region. However, this region is removed and no problem arises.

  • Patent number: 7153731
    Abstract: A method of forming a field effect transistor includes forming a channel region within bulk semiconductive material of a semiconductor substrate. Source/drain regions are formed on opposing sides of the channel region. An insulative dielectric region is formed within the bulk semiconductive material proximately beneath at least one of the source/drain regions. A method of forming a field effect transistor includes providing a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, said substrate comprising a layer of semiconductive material formed over a layer of insulative material. All of a portion of the semiconductive material layer and all of the insulative material layer directly beneath the portion are removed thereby creating a void in the semiconductive material layer and the insulative material layer. Semiconductive channel material is formed within the void. Opposing source/drain regions are provided laterally proximate the channel material. A gate is formed over the channel material.
