  • Patent number: 8673450
    Abstract: The problem of the present invention is to provide, in high current-low energy type ion implantation apparatuses, a graphite member for a beam line inner member of an ion implantation apparatus, which graphite member can markedly reduce particles incorporated in a wafer surface. This problem can be solved by the graphite member of the present invention, which is a graphite member for a beam line inner member of an ion implantation apparatus, which member having a bulk density of not less than 1.80 Mg/m3 and an electric resistivity of not more than 9.5 ??·m. Preferably, the R value obtained by dividing D band intensity at 1370 cm?1 by G band intensity at 1570 cm?1 in the Raman spectrum of a spontaneous fracture surface of the graphite member is not more than 0.20.

  • Patent number: 5846628
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a substrate for a magnetic disc comprising a glass substrate having fine protrusions on its surface, the protrusions having a height of 50 to 1000 .ANG., a width of 0.01 to 1 .mu.m, a density of 10 to 1000 per 100 .mu.m.sup.2 and an area ratio of 0.1 to 50%, and a ratio of peak height on a mean line (R.sub.p) to maximum height (R.sub.max) with respect to surface roughness of the substrate being at least 60%. Further, a process for preparing the substrate and a magnetic disc having the substrate are disclosed.Because the substrate according to the present invention has appropriate protrusions on its surface, a friction force and an adsorbing force between a head and a magnetic disc can be reduced, leading to the improvement of the CSS and the anti-head stick properties. In addition, the S/N ratio is not affected because the fine concave portions formed on the surface of the substrate are shallow.
