    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a silicon thin film, a method of manufacturing a silicon thin-film photovoltaic cell, and a silicon thin film. There is provided a method of manufacturing a silicon thin film in a form in which an inert face formed by an exposed face of a silicon substrate and an inert layer is formed by selectively forming the inert layer on the silicon substrate in which growth of a silicon crystal is inactive for a raw material gas of the silicon crystal, and the silicon crystal is grown from the exposed face such that the silicon crystal covers the silicon substrate by supplying a raw material gas, of which a surface decomposition reaction on the silicon substrate is dominant, out of the raw material gas to the silicon substrate. By forming a width of the exposed face in a range of 0.001 ?m to 1 ?m, the silicon thin film is formed in a state that the silicon thin film can be peeled off from the silicon substrate.

  • Patent number: 8201973
    Abstract: A flame detector is provided. A circuit board is disposed in a housing. A first light source emits first light. A light guide member comprised of translucent material guides the first light from the first light source to a light emission portion of the light guide member. A first light receiving element detects second light having a predetermined wavelength unique to the flames. A second light source emits third light to a translucent cover which is disposed between an opening of the housing and the first light receiving element. A second light receiving element detects the third light passed through the translucent cover to test the translucency. The first light source, the second light source and the second light receiving element are mounted on the circuit board. The light emission portion is formed into a substantially annular shape which encloses the first light receiving element at a front side of the housing to limit a field of view of the first light receiving element to a predetermined range.
