  • Publication number: 20050179340
    Abstract: The present invention provides a surface acoustic wave device comprising an electrode 8 to serve as an interdigital transducer, the electrode 8 including a bottom Ti layer 2, Al alloy layer 3, upper Ti layer 4, and Al alloy layer 7 which are superposed one after another on a surface of a piezoelectric substrate 1. A thickness A of the bottom Ti layer 2 is greater than a thickness C of the upper Ti layer, and is not less than 50 nm nor more than 120 nm. The sum of the thickness A of the bottom Ti layer 2 and the thickness C of the upper Ti layer 4 is less than 150 nm. Accordingly, with the surface acoustic wave device, occurrence of migration is inhibited to obtain a higher durability than conventionally.

  • Patent number: 6703130
    Abstract: A substrate coated with a transparent conductive film is manufactured by: disposing a substrate 3 and a target 5 constituted of alloy of In and Sn in a film deposition chamber 1; leading an Ar gas ion beam into the film deposition chamber 1, to cause collision of the ion beam with the target 5, sputtering-emission of constitutive atoms of the target 5, and supply of the emitted atoms to the substrate 3; and leading oxide gas including oxygen radicals as a main element thereof from an ECR radical source 6 into the film deposition chamber 1, to deposit an ITO film 9 on the substrate 3. In this manufacturing method, a film is deposited on a film or substrate including an organic material without damaging the organic material. The deposited film has low resistivity, high transmission and preferable flatness.

  • Publication number: 20020187366
    Abstract: A metal oxide film is formed on a hole injection electrode. A hole injection layer, a luminescent layer, and an electron transport layer each made of an organic material are formed in this order on the metal oxide film. An electron injection electrode is formed on the electron transport layer. The metal oxide film is made of gallium oxide, tantalum oxide, lanthanum oxide, indium oxide, tin oxide or platinum oxide. The thickness of the metal oxide film is preferably in the range from 1 Åto 100 Å, more preferably in the range from 5 Åto 20 Å, and even more preferably about 10 Å. The metal oxide film is formed by helicon sputtering.

  • Patent number: 6420815
    Abstract: An SAW device substrate and an SAW device having a larger value of K2 than conventional SAW device substrates can be obtained by using LiNbO3 represented by Eulerian angles of (18-30°, 80-100°, 35-75°) and determining the thickness H of a piezoelectric substrate and the pitch &lgr; of electrodes so that KH is at least 2.3 and at most 4.5. Alternatively, an Li2B4O7 layer is formed as a piezoelectric substrate on a surface of a glass layer to obtain an Li2B4O7/glass structured SAW device substrate. More preferably, such Li2B4O7 that is represented by Eulerian angles of (0-45°, 85-95°, 85-95°) is employed. Furthermore, the SAW device substrate is used to form an SAW device so that the KH parameter is about 0.5.
