Abstract: In CMP technology for planarizing an interlayer insulation film, a BPSG film, an insulation film for shallow trench isolation, or the like, in the production process of a semiconductor element, irregularities of a matter being polished, e.g. a silicon oxide film, are planarized efficiently at a high speed while suppressing the occurrence of polishing flaws on the substrate by employing a polishing pad having organic fibers exposed on the surface thereof abutting against the matter being polished.

Abstract: An electrically insulating non-woven fabric having a main component of poly-p-phenileneterephthalamide fibers bonded with each other by a binder of thermosetting resin and a second binder of one selected from fiber chops, fiber pulps and fibrids of thermoplastic resin having a softening point of 220° C. or higher, the poly-p-phenileneterephthalamide fibers being pulps or both of chops and pulps with a blend mass ratio of the chops to the pulps being 0/100 through 95/5 and preferably 50/50 through 90/10, a fiber length of the poly-p-phenileneterephathalamide fiber chops being preferably 3 to 6 mm, a content of the thermosetting resin binder in the non-woven fabric being 5 to 30 mass % and a content of the second binder being is 5 to 15 mass %.

Abstract: First sounding mechanism, which issues sound when spool rotates relative to spool shaft, is furnished with sound-emitting member, pawl member, and plate spring. Sound-emitting member is non-rotatably mounted on spool shaft, and has multiple jags radially jutting on its outer periphery. Pawl member has body portion pivotably mounted on spool; pawl portion formed on the spool-shaft side of the swing center; and arcuate contact face formed on body portion on a side of the swing center SC opposite spool shaft. First-side radius R1 of contact face, is smaller than its second-side radius R2. Plate spring mounted on spool at an end nearer the first side of contact-face is, and contacts contact face at the other end, urging pawl portion of pawl member to collide with sound-emitting member. In a spinning-reel sounding device having a pawl member, the tone fluctuations due to spool rotational direction are controlled.

Abstract: A polished-piece holder is provided that does not easily stick or adsorb to a polishing pad of a polishing apparatus and reduces occurrences of production line troubles and therefore the number of failed polished pieces. A single sheet of a thermosetting resin impregnated fiber substrate or a laminated sheet formed by laminating a plurality of sheets of the thermosetting resin impregnated fiber substrate is formed under heat and pressure into a plate. The thermosetting resin impregnated fiber plate is then processed to form a polished-piece holder for holding pieces to be polished. The evaluation portion has a certain length in a direction of the average line. The thermosetting resin impregnated fiber plate has a surface roughness with a maximum wave height Ry of 10 &mgr;m or greater over an almost entire area of the surface layer.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a base material for a laminate having a high strength, reduced thickness, and light weight. In the present invention, a base material is prepared by incorporating a thermosetting resin binder into a non-woven fabric of para-aramid fibers prepared by a wet type paper making, and then heating a plurality of the resultant non-woven fabric sheets under pressure. The non-woven fabric sheet comprises 95 to 70 mass % of the para-aramid fibers and 5 to 30 mass % of the thermosetting resin binder.
