  • Patent number: 4820145
    Abstract: A polycrystalline silicon wafer having the step of flowing in a predetermined atmosphere molten liquid of silicon base material on a rotating fabrication tray toward a radial direction by means of a centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the tray, thereby forming a thin molten material layer of desired diameter with the molten liquid and solidifying the molten material, comprising a cover, at which a through hole is perforated at the ceiling wall thereof, detachably covered on the tray, a wafer-molding space formed to be surrounded by the cover and the tray, the molten material being filled in the wafer-molding space via the through hole to form a thin molten material layer. Thus, the wafers can be simultaneously formed without production of small projections of the surface of the wafers.

  • Patent number: 4745163
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a polyacetylene film by contacting acetylene gas with Ziegler-Natta catalyst to polymerize the acetylene gas in a vessel which comprises a catalyst introduction conduit to be introduced with the Ziegler-Natta catalyst provided at a cap provided at the top of the vessel and having an end opening disposed in the vicinity of the inner surface of the side wall of the vessel in such a manner that the conduit and the vessel are relatively moved in rotation, and a rotary transmission mechanism for driving to rotatably coat the catalyst flowed out from the end opening of the conduit on the inner surface of the bottom from the inner surface of the side wall of the vessel. Thus, the polyacetylene film can be produced in a uniform thickness and in a relatively large area by introducing the Ziegler-Natta catalyst of the suitable quantity, and the catalyst can be spread over the entire surface rapidly by the relative rotation between the conduit and the vessel.

  • Patent number: 4544343
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a polyacetylene film by polymerizing acetylene gas in contact with Ziegler-Natta catalyst comprising: in a vessel to be introduced with acetylene gas a film producing container for storing Ziegler-Natta catalyst, a pair of feed rollers provided adjacently to draw out the polyacetylene film polymerized on the surface of the catalyst and reversely driven in roll contact with each other, a cleaning member for cleaning the drawn polyacetylene film, and a winding unit for winding the polyacetylene film. Thus, the polyacetylene film can be continuously produced with good productivity, and since the speed for drawing the polyacetylene film is varied to regulate the thickness of the film, the films of various size can be readily fabricated in mass production, thereby reducing the cost of the polyacetylene film.
