  • Publication number: 20130089665
    Abstract: A self-limiting reaction deposition apparatus includes a first guide roller, a second guide roller, and at least one first head. The first guide roller changes, while supporting a first surface of a base material conveyed by a roll-to-roll process, a conveying direction of the base material from a first direction to a second direction that is not parallel to the first direction. The second guide roller changes, while supporting the first surface of the base material, the conveying direction of the base material from the second direction to a third direction that is not parallel to the second direction. The at least one first head is disposed between the first guide roller and the second guide roller, faces a second surface opposite to the first surface of the base material, and discharges, towards the second surface, a raw material gas for self-limiting reaction deposition.

  • Patent number: 7525774
    Abstract: A laser diode capable of being easily mounted and a laser diode device in which the laser diode is mounted are provided. A hole is disposed in a semiconductor layer, and a p-type electrode and an n-type semiconductor layer are electrically connected to each other by a bottom portion (a connecting portion) of the hole. Thereby, the p-type electrode has the same potential as the n-type semiconductor layer, and a saturable absorption region is formed in a region corresponding to a current path. Light generated in a gain region (not shown) is absorbed in the saturable absorption region so as to be converted into a current. The current is discharged to a ground via the p-side electrode and the bottom portion, an interaction between the saturable absorption region and the gain region is initiated, and thereby self-oscillation can be produced.

  • Publication number: 20060067011
    Abstract: A magneto-resistance effect type magnetic head is disclosed which is high in sensitivity and corrosion resistance. In the head, a spin valve film acting as an magnetic sensing device for detecting a magnetic signal on a magnetic recording medium. The spin valve film is structured such that an antiferromagnetic layer, a fixed magnetization layer whose magnetization direction is fixed by an exchange coupling magnetic field acting between the layers, a free magnetization layer whose magnetization direction varies in response to an external magnetic field, and a nonmagnetic layer for magnetically isolating the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer are laminated. The nonmagnetic layer is formed from a conductive layer, an interface layer formed on an interface between the fixed magnetization layer and conductive layer, and a second interface layer formed on an interface between the conductive layer and free magnetization layer.
