Abstract: An ohmic electrode (6) of a silicon carbide semiconductor apparatus is fabricated by forming an ohmic metal film on a silicon carbide substrate (1) by sputtering a target including a mixture or an alloy having therein nickel, and a metal(s) reducing the magnetic permeability of nickel and producing a carbide, where compositional ratios of the mixture or alloy are adjusted to predetermined compositional ratios, and by executing heat treatment for the ohmic metal film to calcinate the ohmic metal film. Thus, the ohmic electrode (6) that is for the silicon carbide semiconductor apparatus and capable of improving the use efficiency of the target can be manufactured, whose film thickness is even and that does not peel off.

Abstract: A low-cost, high-definition color conversion layer is made using the ink jet method, with the layer having a consistent thickness and not bleeding into adjacent subpixels. A color conversion filter (1000) is characterized by being formed with a bank layer (60) that has a plurality of gently-curved protrusions (63), each of which has a first portion (61) and a second portion (62).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thin-film EL device utilizes a Zn-Mn target that contains less Mn than the optimum Mn concentration on the basis of the finding that the light-emitting layer grown by the sputtering method contains more Mn than in the target. Manganese concentration on the target surface layer is controlled by changing the area ratio between ZnS and Mn exposed on the surface of the target. Manganese concentration on the target surface is controlled at preferably from 0.3 to 0.4 wt % when the target surface is sulfurized during sputtering and less than 0.1 wt % when the target surface is not sulfurized.

Abstract: There is described a method for compensating tail end of rolling materials for rolling shaped steel sections in an optimum manner. According to this method, in a continuous tension free rolling operation of a shaped steel section comprising a flat section and a flange section through a plural number of roll stands, the operating speed of a first roll stand is reduced by a predetermined amount as compared with a second or succeeding roll stand when the crop at the tail end of the rolling material enters the first rolling unit, thereby to prevent overfeeding.
