  • Patent number: 10770648
    Abstract: A composite wafer has an oxide single-crystal film transferred onto a support wafer, the film being a lithium tantalate or lithium niobate film, and the composite wafer being unlikely to have cracking or peeling caused in the lamination interface between the film and the support wafer. More specifically, a method of producing the composite wafer, includes steps of: implanting hydrogen atom ions or molecule ions from a surface of the oxide wafer to form an ion-implanted layer inside thereof; subjecting at least one of the surface of the oxide wafer and a surface of the support wafer to surface activation treatment; bonding the surfaces together to obtain a laminate; heat-treating the laminate at 90° C. or higher at which cracking is not caused; and applying ultrasonic vibration to the heat-treated laminate to split along the ion-implanted layer to obtain the composite wafer.

  • Publication number: 20190339161
    Abstract: A failure diagnosis device for a reduction gear is a failure diagnosis device for a reduction gear provided to a mechanical apparatus driven by a motor so that the reduction gear slows down rotation power of the motor and transmits the power to an operating part of the mechanical apparatus. The device identifies an acceleration/deceleration period during which operation of the mechanical apparatus accelerates and/or decelerates, and determines whether the reduction gear indicates a sign of failure based on a change in frequency spectrum of motor current with respect to a change in a rotation speed of the motor during the acceleration/deceleration period.
