  • Publication number: 20160013221
    Abstract: To eliminate electric discharge when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate used for manufacturing the semiconductor element, a substrate over which an element formation layer and a peeling layer are formed and a film are made to go through a gap between pressurization rollers. The film is attached to the element formation layer between the pressurization rollers, bent along a curved surface of the pressurization roller on a side of the pressurization rollers, and collected. Peeling is generated between the element formation layer and the peeling layer and the element formation layer is transferred to the film. Liquid is sequentially supplied by a nozzle to a gap between the element formation layer and the peeling layer, which is generated by peeling, so that electric charge generated on surfaces of the element formation layer and the peeling layer is diffused by the liquid.

  • Patent number: 9054141
    Abstract: An object is to suppress discharge due to static electricity generated by peeling, when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate. Over the substrate, the release layer and the element formation layer are formed. The support base material which can be peeled later is fixed to the upper surface of the element formation layer. The element formation layer is transformed through the support base material, and peeling is generated at an interface between the element formation layer and the release layer. Peeling is performed while the liquid is being supplied so that the element formation layer and the release layer which appear sequentially by peeling are wetted with the liquid such as pure water. Electric charge generated on the surfaces of the element formation layer and the release layer can be diffused by the liquid, and discharge by peeling electrification can be eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20140370994
    Abstract: A cross shaft joint includes a bearing cup, a cross shaft, and a joint yoke. The bearing cup includes a cylindrical portion in which an opening portion for receiving a shaft portion is formed in one end of the cylindrical portion in an axis direction, and a bottom portion that closes the other end of the cylindrical portion in the axis direction. The bearing cup is press-fitted into the fitting hole and supports the shaft portion through a rolling element so that the shaft portion is able to rotate. The bearing cup is fitted onto the shaft portion inside the fitting hole and holds the rolling element with the shaft portion. A diameter of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion is smaller on the opening portion side than the bottom portion side in a free state of the bearing cup before being press-fitted into the fitting hole.

  • Publication number: 20120254499
    Abstract: Provided are a program, a control method, and a control device by which an activation time can be shortened. In a computer system which is equipped with a Memory Management Unit (MMU), with respect to a table of the MMU, page table entries are rewritten so that page faults occur at each page necessary for operation of software. At the time of activating, stored memory images are read page by page for the page faults which occurred in the RAM to be accessed. By reading as described above, reading of unnecessary pages is not performed, and thus, the activation time can be shortened. The present invention can be applied to a personal computer and an electronic device provided with an embedded computer.

  • Publication number: 20120072658
    Abstract: Provided is a program, control method, and control device that can shorten start-up time. Page table entry is rewritten for a Memory Management Unit (MMU) table, on a computer system equipped with an MMU, so that a page fault will occur at every page, for all the pages necessary for the operation of a software program. Upon start-up, the stored memory image is loaded in page units for page faults that have occurred on the RAM to be accessed. Loading of unnecessary pages will not be executed, because such loading was executed, and the start-up time can be shortened worth that time. This program, control method, and control device can be applied to personal computers, and electronic devices equipped with built-in type computers.
