  • Patent number: 6105225
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a small, light, highly accurate and inexpensive thin film sensor element is disclosed. The thin film sensor element comprises a sensor holding substrate having an opening part and a multilayer film structure adhered thereon. The multilayer film structure comprises a first electrode film, a second electrode film, and a piezoelectric dielectric oxide film present between the first and second electrode films. The method of manufacturing the thin film sensor element comprises the steps of: forming the multilayer film structure by forming the first electrode film having a (100) plane orientation on a surface of an alkali halide substrate, forming the piezoelectric dielectric oxide thereon, and forming the second electrode film on the piezoelectric dielectric oxide; adhering the multilayer film structure on the surface of the sensor holding substrate having the opening part; and dissolving and removing the alkali halide substrate with water.

  • Patent number: 5612536
    Abstract: A thin film sensor element includes a sensor holding substrate having an opening part and a multilayer film adhered thereon at least consisting of an electrode film A, an electrode film B having (100) plane orientation, and a piezoelectic dielectric oxide film present between the electrode film A and the electrode film B. As a result, a thin film sensor element which is small, light, highly accurate, and inexpensive can be attained which can be used for an acceleration sensor element and a pyroelectric infrared sensor element. On the surface of a flat plate KBr substrate, a rock-salt crystal structure oxide of a conductive NiO is formed by a plasma MOCVD method whose vertical direction is crystal-oriented to <100> direction against the substrate surface. By means of a sputtering method, a PZT film is formed by an epitaxial growth on that surface, and a Ni-Cr electrode film is formed thereon.

  • Patent number: 5521454
    Abstract: A surface wave filter element includes a portion on which elastic surface waves propagate. This portion includes a piezoelectric material, an amorphous boron layer or plate and IDT electrodes for inputting and outputting signals. The piezoelectric material is a film made of ZnO, LiNbO.sub.3 or LiTaO.sub.3 formed by sputtering, ion beam deposition or chemical vapor deposition. The amorphous boron layer or boron plate may be formed on a substrate made of an inorganic material. The boron material is formed using electron beam deposition, ion beam deposition or chemical vapor deposition.

  • Patent number: 5406445
    Abstract: A NaCl oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face or a spinel oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face, a perovskite dielectric thin layer oriented to (100) face and a metal electrode are sequentially laminated on a metal electrode, thus providing a thin film capacitor. Or alternatively, a thin film capacitor is manufactured by sequentially laminating a NaCl oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face or a spinel oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face, a platinum thin layer as a lower electrode oriented to (100) face, a perovskite dielectric thin layer oriented to (100) face and a metal thin layer as an upper electrode on a substrate. A plasma-enhanced CVD method is applied to form a NaCl oxide thin layer, a spinel oxide thin layer and a perovskite dielectric thin layer while a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, a CVD method or a plasma-enhanced CVD method is applied for the formation of a metal electrode.

  • Patent number: 5378548
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium, comprising; a 2-layer film formed on a glass disk substrate as an under layer composed of an amorphous oxide or NaCl oxides like a NiO or CoO and the like, or any soft magnetic oxide of Mn-Zn ferrite, Ni-Zn ferrite and the like, or a combination of those 2 materials; a magnetic recording medium formed thereon composed of a Co ferrite perpendicular magnetic film of a columnar structure; and a structure formed thereon with a lubricant layer medium. This magnetic recording medium is used for a magnetic rigid disk apparatus. The substrate is made by press-molding the glass plate at a high temperature.

  • Patent number: 4119573
    Abstract: A glaze resistor composition composed of magnesium silicide, molybdenum disilicide, tantalum disilicide and glass frit, and if necessary, manganese disilicide and/or aluminum oxide. Due to the use of magnesium silicide, glaze resistors having stable resistivities in a wide resistivity range can be obtained. Due to the use of manganese disilicide, the temperature coefficient of resistivity can be shifted to the positive side, and due to the use of aluminum oxide, the resistivity can be increased and made more stable. This invention also provides a method of making a glaze resistor using two heating steps, in which aluminum oxide is mixed in the starting powder mixture to be subjected to the first heating step, so as to enhance the effect of the aluminum oxide addition.
