  • Patent number: 6183552
    Abstract: A crystal growth method for thin films of oxides wherein a vapor-phase deposition method is used to grow crystals for Bi2Sr2CanCun+1O6+2n oxide thin film 304, where n is an integer equal to 1 or greater, includes a first step of growing a Bi2Sr2CuO6 oxide thin film 302 to an arbitrary number of molecular layers by setting a growth environment to conditions in which oxides of bismuth alone are not formed, but intended multi-element oxide is formed, and supplying the growth environment with an excess of bismuth compared with other elements, thereby preventing deficiency of bismuth and also evaporating excess bismuth from the thin film, a second step of causing a layer 303 containing calcium atoms and copper atoms each in the amount of n/2 of the number of strontium atoms contained in the Bi2Sr2CuO6 oxide thin film to accumulate upon the Bi2Sr2CuO6 oxide thin film, and a third step of, in a state in which environmental temperature is set higher than the environmental temperature in the first step, caus

  • Patent number: 6071338
    Abstract: A method for crystal growth of a multi-element oxide thin film containing bismuth as a constituent element has setting a growth environment to fall under conditions such that an oxide of bismuth alone will not be formed, but the desired multi-element oxide will be formed; and supplying bismuth in excess of other elements to the growth environment, to prevent the lack of bismuth and evaporate surplus bismuth from the thin film. This method suppresses the formation of different phases or the precipitation of impurities ascribed to the deviation of the proportion of bismuth element from the desired composition, enables a high quality thin film to be grown, and markedly broadens the ranges of the set conditions for the thin film growth temperature and oxidizing gas in comparison with conventional technologies.

  • Patent number: 5940502
    Abstract: A phone holder for detachably holding a mobile phone in an automotive vehicle is provided with a holder main body including an inner casing having a phone accommodating portion, a phone urging device having a phone actuating roller and the like for urging the mobile phone being inserted into the phone accommodating portion in a direction opposite from an inserting direction of the mobile phone, and a phone locking device which can be switched between a locking state where the mobile phone is locked in a specified accommodation position in the phone accommodating portion against a urging force of the phone urger and an unlocking state where the locking is released. The phone locking device is switched to the locking state as the mobile phone is inserted into the phone accommodating portion. The above locking is releasable by moving the mobile phone in its locked state in the inserting direction.

  • Patent number: 5886778
    Abstract: A method of measuring a beam flux rate in a film growth apparatus which includes supplying a hollow cathode lamp with a current that alternates between two current values and does not include a zero current, introducing intensity-modulated spectral light emitted by the hollow cathode lamp into a vacuum chamber of a film growth apparatus, absorbing the light by a beam of atoms projected at a substrate surface, and detecting components synchronized with the modulation of the spectral light obtained.
