  • Patent number: 6757178
    Abstract: In an electronic circuit equipment using a multilayer circuit board on which a semiconductor chip is mounted, a thin film capacitor is provided on the multilayer circuit board. Moreover, a first electrode of the thin film capacitor and a first wiring of the multilayer circuit board are electrically connected to each other, and a second electrode of the thin film capacitor and a second wiring of the multilayer circuit board are electrically connected to each other, respectively. Furthermore, a thin film dielectric of the thin film capacitor was grown epitaxially with the first electrode as its base. The employment of the multilayer circuit board makes it possible to provide the electronic circuit equipment using the multilayer circuit board that includes the built-in thin film capacitor having the high dielectric-constant thin film dielectric.

  • Patent number: 4904619
    Abstract: A method of producing a Josephson junction device consisting of thin films of superconducting materials such as niobium and niobium nitride that work at cryogenic temperatures, in which a base electrode layer, tunnel barrier layer and a counterelectrode layer constituting a Josephson junction are formed on a substrate. In order to form a desired electrode pattern on the counterelectrode layer, a resist pattern is used as a mask for dry etching, followed by a plasma ashing process for ablating part of the resist in order to form a terrace-shaped portion at the edges and corners of the counterelectrode pattern by reforming and shrinking the cross-sectional geometry of the resist. Then, a thin insulating film for covering the edged layers is deposited over the entire surface of substrate, followed by the removal of said resist pattern together with said insulating film deposited on said resist pattern in order to form a protecting layer around the counterelectrode pattern.

  • Patent number: 4344153
    Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory device and a method of fabricating the device are disclosed in which a conductor pattern lies at least between a film for maintaining magnetic bubbles therein, and a soft magnetic material pattern. Further, the magnetic bubble memory device can be formed precisely without suffering from errors due to mask alignment, by employing a mask provided with a plurality of patterns which are different in transmittance.

  • Patent number: 4288283
    Abstract: A method of forming a microscopic pattern wherein the object to be etched is overlaid with a film made of a material which is highly immune to etching and further provided with a reflection reducing film. Thus, the reflection of the irradiating ultraviolet rays by the underlying layer is effectively prevented.

  • Patent number: 4262054
    Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory device is disclosed in which a hardened film made of a heat-resisting highly-polymerized organic resin and having a predetermined thickness is employed for an insulating film interposed between a conductor pattern and a soft magnetic material pattern. In a conventional magnetic bubble memory device in which the above-mentioned insulating film is made of SiO.sub.2, an abrupt step is produced in the soft magnetic material pattern due to the existence of the conductor pattern beneath a portion of the soft magnetic material pattern, and the margin of bias magnetic field is thereby lowered. According to the present invention, the step is reduced and smoothed, and thus the lowering of the margin can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 3977243
    Abstract: A testing machine for a tire on an imitation road in which a tire to be tested is urged against a crawler with the aid of a cantilever arm connected through a crosshead to a lifting and lowering disc engaged with screw threaded rods rotatably mounted in a machine frame. The crawler is composed of an endless chain and a road surface forming rods detachably mounted on the endless chain and replaceable by new rods made of different kind of material. In the crosshead are incorporated slip and camber angle setting mechanisms. Provision is made of load cells such as a strain gauge operatively connected to a tire supporting shaft, driving and driven shafts of the crawler and a guide rail of the crawler and for detecting a vertical load subjected to the tire, a torque for driving the crawler under various load conditions and a transverse component of force subjected to the crawler when the tire having a given slip angle or a camber angle is urged against the crawler.
