  • Patent number: 11958276
    Abstract: There are provided a metal-resin joint having high bonding strength and a manufacturing method thereof. A metal-resin joint 10 of the present disclosure includes an anchor portion 34 provided on a metal bonding surface 32 of a metal member 30. The anchor portion 34 has a pair of protrusion strips 35 and 35 protruding from the metal bonding surface 32 with a gap, a recessed groove 36 provided between the pair of protrusion strips 35 and 35, and a plurality of partitions 37 protruding from a groove bottom of the recessed groove 36. The plurality of partitions 37 are provided to be inclined toward one side Y1 in a direction in which the pair of protrusion strips 35 and 35 extend as going toward a distal end side, and to be side by side in a direction Y in which the pair of protrusion strips 35 and 35 extend.

  • Patent number: 11426947
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a metal-resin joint 30 according to the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing the metal-resin joint 30 in which a synthetic resin member 10 made of thermoplastic resin and a metal member 20 made of metal are bonded to each other, the method including: a first process of exposing a surface 12 of the synthetic resin member 10 molded into a predetermined shape, to air heated to a first temperature T1 equal to or higher than a deflection temperature under load Tf of the thermoplastic resin when a load of 1.8 MPa is applied; and a second process of bonding the surface 12 of the synthetic resin member 10 and a surface 22 of the metal member 20 to each other. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the bonding strength between the metal member 20 and the synthetic resin member 10.

  • Patent number: 11090908
    Abstract: A surface of a metal substrate formed from a metal is heated, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the metal substrate, at least a portion of the oxide film is heated so as to increase a joining strength of the oxide film to the metal substrate, subsequently a synthetic resin substrate formed from a synthetic resin is joined to the oxide film, and thus a metal-resin joined body is obtained. Thereby, a metal-resin joined body having high joining strength is obtained.

  • Patent number: 10994368
    Abstract: There is provided a wafer for examination that is a wafer for examination with which energy distribution in a region of a light condensing spot of a laser beam with which irradiation is carried out from the upper surface side of a wafer is checked, and is a wafer for examination in which a first metal layer and a second metal layer different in specific heat or a melting point are formed over an upper surface of a wafer. In an examination method of energy distribution, the energy distribution of the laser beam is checked based on a processing mark formed in the first and second metal layers of the wafer for examination.

  • Patent number: 10183359
    Abstract: There is provided a condensing point position detecting method of detecting a position in an optical axis direction of a condensing point of a laser beam condensed by a condenser of a laser processing apparatus. The condensing point position detecting method includes: an irradiation mark forming step of forming a plurality of irradiation marks in a substrate by irradiating the substrate held by a chuck table with the laser beam while moving the condenser in the optical axis direction with respect to the substrate; and a condensing point position detecting step of detecting an irradiation mark having a proper shape from the plurality of irradiation marks formed in the substrate, and detecting the position of the condensing point forming the proper irradiation mark as a position of an accurate condensing point.
