  • Patent number: 11542436
    Abstract: Provided is a novel carbonization treatment method for carbonizing a biomass material containing a large amount of water at an extremely low temperature, and a method for producing carbonized biomass. A water-containing biomass material is carbonized while maintaining the biomass material under treatment conditions including an oxygen-containing atmosphere and a temperature range of 70° C. or greater and less than 100° C., without a drying step for removing or reducing the water forcibly. At this time, preferably the water content (percentage) of the biomass material at the start of carbonization while maintained under the treatment conditions is within a range of 40 to 80% inclusive, and preferably the biomass material is thus maintained for two weeks or longer.

  • Publication number: 20150115020
    Abstract: Provided is a solder bump forming method capable of forming solder bumps having a desired constant thickness, without any failure such as copper corrosion, on a mounting board such as a printed circuit board having fine copper electrodes. The solder bump forming method includes: a process in which a prepared mask (5) is placed on a prepared substrate (1) and then a molten solder jet is blown to fill an opening of the mask (5) with molten solder (11a) until the molten solder (11a) exceeds the thickness of the mask (5); a process of removing a part of the molten solder (11a) that exceeds the thickness of the mask (5) to form a solder bump (11) having a predetermined thickness; and a process of removing the mask (5). The molten solder (11a) is molten lead-free solder that includes tin as a main ingredient and at least nickel as a sub ingredient, and further includes one or more other ingredients such as silver, copper, and germanium.
