  • Publication number: 20240120216
    Abstract: A method of adjusting heat uniformity on a wafer mounting surface of a wafer mount having a ceramic base including the wafer mounting surface which can heat a wafer through energization and a cooling plate includes: a) preparing the wafer mount including the cooling plate including: a base including a flow path of a coolant; and a lid detachable from the base; b) measuring a temperature distribution with the lid being attached on the base while heating through the energization and cooling; c) detaching the lid and locally adjusting a shape of the flow path when the temperature distribution does not satisfy a predetermined criterion; and d) remeasuring the temperature distribution after adjusting the shape of the flow path, with the lid being attached on the base while heating through the energization and cooling, wherein the steps c) and d) are repeated until the remeasured temperature distribution satisfies the criterion.

  • Publication number: 20240120520
    Abstract: A decrease in output power due to a foreign matter present on a base at the time of forming a thin film solid electrolyte layer is limited, and an increase in yield even when an area of a fuel battery cell is increased, is obtained. The fuel battery cell has a membrane electrode assembly including a lower electrode layer, first and second solid electrolyte layers, and an upper electrode layer formed on a support substrate. An interface between the first and second solid electrolyte layers is flat as compared with an interface between the lower electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer, and the second solid electrolyte layer has a thickness at which a leakage current between the first solid electrolyte layer and the second solid electrolyte layer is less than an allowable value even when an output voltage of the fuel battery cell is generated.

  • Patent number: 10369843
    Abstract: According to a production method of a rubber composition for tire of the present invention comprising a rubber component (A) comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a natural rubber and a synthetic diene rubber, a filler, a coupling agent (D) of (CpH2p+1O)3—Si—(CH2)q—S—CO—CkH2k+1, and a vulcanizing agent (E) comprising a vulcanizer and a vulcanization accelerator, the method comprising: a step X1 of kneading all amount of A, a part of the filler and a part of D, a step X2 of kneading the kneaded product of step X1, the remaining amount of the filler and D, and a step F of kneading the kneaded product of step X2 and E, it is possible to produce a rubber composition for tire in which fuel efficiency and abrasion resistance are improved in a good balance.
