Patent number: 10265886Abstract: Provided herein is a molding material that attains little fluctuation in amount of short fibers and powdery resin among individual products and that allows continuous production without damaging a die. In the step of pouring, slurry is poured onto a slurry diffusion member 7 from above the slurry diffusion member 7. The slurry diffusion member 7 extends in an upward direction, and is shaped such that the area of a transverse section taken along a direction orthogonal to the upward direction becomes smaller as the slurry diffusion member 7 extends in the upward direction. In the step of cleaning, a dispersion medium that is the same as the dispersion medium used in the step of pouring or water is poured onto the slurry diffusion member 7 from above the slurry diffusion member 7 to cause the short fibers and the powdery resin adhering to a slurry diffusion portion 71 of the slurry diffusion member 7 to fall down.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: HITACHI CHEMICAL COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Masaya Ozawa, Masao Sugiyama, Takeshi Fukao

Patent number: 9962887Abstract: There is little fluctuation in amount of short fibers among individual products of fiber substrate. No damage is caused to a mold for the fiber substrate. Continuous production of the fiber substrates is possible. A method of manufacturing a fiber substrate includes the steps of: preparing slurry by dispersing short fibers in a dispersion medium; pouring the slurry into a cylindrical mold from above the cylindrical mold, the slurry being directed to a slurry diffusion member disposed in the center of the cylindrical mold and having an upward pointing conical or pyramidal shape; pouring the dispersion medium or water onto the slurry diffusion member from above the slurry diffusion member to cause the short fibers adhering to the slurry diffusion member to fall down, after the step of pouring the slurry; and discharging the dispersion medium from the cylindrical mold to accumulate the short fibers in the cylindrical mold to obtain a fiber aggregate.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Masaya Ozawa, Masao Sugiyama

Patent number: 9925700Abstract: Provided herein is an apparatus of manufacturing a molding material for use in a method of manufacturing a molding material that can prevent a crack from occurring in the molding material. A cylindrical die (3) is slid downward along an upper hollow compression mold (4) and a lower hollow compression mold (2) with a molding material (35) held between the upper hollow compression mold (4) and the lower hollow compression mold (2). After that, the upper hollow compression mold (4) is moved upward to relatively move the upper hollow compression mold (4) and the lower hollow compression mold (2) away from each other. After a slurry diffusion member (7) is removed, the molding material (35) is taken out.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: HITACHI CHEMICAL COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Masaya Ozawa, Masao Sugiyama

Publication number: 20120061769Abstract: For constituting a pre-metal interlayer insulating film, such a method is considered as forming a CVD silicon oxide-based insulating film having good filling properties by ozone TEOS, reflowing the film to planarize it, stacking a silicon oxide film having good CMP scratch resistance by plasma TEOS, and further planarizing by CMP. However, in forming a contact hole, crack in the pre-metal interlayer insulating film is exposed in the contact hole, into which barrier metal intrudes to cause short-circuit defects. In the present invention, in the pre-metal process, after forming the ozone TEOS film over an etch stop film, the ozone TEOS film is once etched back so as to expose the etch stop film over a gate structure, a plasma TEOS film is formed over the remaining ozone TEOS film, and the plasma TEOS film is planarized by CMP.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Inventors: MASAO SUGIYAMA, Yoshiyuki Kaneko, Yoshinori Kondo, Masayoshi Hirasawa
