Abstract: A manufacturing method of a device including: a first process in which a barrier film is formed on a substrate with a concave portion provided on one surface thereof so as to cover an inner wall surface of the concave portion; a second process in which a conductive film is formed so as to cover the barrier film; and a third process in which the conductive film is melted by a reflow method, wherein the method includes a process ? between the second process and the third process, in which the substrate with the barrier film and the conductive film laminated thereon in this order is exposed to an atmosphere under a pressure A for a time period B, and wherein in the process ?, control is carried out such that a product of the pressure A and the time period B is not greater than 6×10?4 [Pa·s].

Abstract: There is provided a low-cost self-sputtering apparatus which is so arranged that, even when an arc discharge occurs for some reasons or other, failure in electric discharge can be prevented. The self-sputtering apparatus has a vacuum chamber in which a substrate to be processed is disposed; a target to be disposed opposite to the substrate; a sputtering power source for charging the target with a negative DC current; an anode shield which is disposed in a manner to enclose a space in front of the target and which is charged with a positive electric potential; and a gas introduction means for introducing a predetermined sputtering gas into the vacuum chamber. The apparatus further has an LC resonance circuit in parallel with an output circuit from the DC power source to the target.

Abstract: An overhead console which can be used to accommodate small objects and also to accommodate a remote controller of a garage opener. The overhead console has a latch mechanism for engaging a free end of the cover with the console body to prevent the free end of the cover from falling off when the cover is closed while allowing upward displacement of the cover by a given stroke from the engagement position, as well as a projection arranged in position on an inner surface of the cover. A switch of the remote controller detachable attached to a ceiling of an accommodation chamber can be operated by pushing the cover upward.
