Abstract: An upper board fixed to a lower part of a structure; a lower board fixed to a foundation at the same position in a plan view with respect to the upper board; and four seismic isolation plates fixed to the upper and lower boards and extending in a cross direction in a plan view. The seismic isolation plates are U-shaped members obtained by bending a long steel sheet, and include an upper fixing part parallel to a lower fixing part, an upper inclined part and a lower inclined part that are closer to each other while separated from the upper and lower fixing parts, and a connecting part that connects the upper and lower inclined parts. The four seismic isolation plates are fixed to upper board at position where upper fixing parts do not overlap and are fixed to lower board at position where lower fixing parts do not overlap.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of recycling a delaminated wafer produced as a by-product in producing an SOI wafer according to a hydrogen ion delaminating method by reprocessing it for reuse as a silicon wafer, wherein at least polishing of the delaminated wafer for removing of a step in the peripheral part of the delaminated wafer and heat treatment in a reducing atmosphere containing hydrogen are conducted as the reprocessing. There are provided a method of appropriately reprocessing a delaminated wafer produced as a by-product in a hydrogen ion delaminating method to reuse it as a silicon wafer actually, and particularly, a method of reprocessing an expensive wafer such as an epitaxial wafer many times for reuse, to improve productivity of SOI wafer having a high quality SOI layer, and to reduce producing cost.

Abstract: A heat-treating method for an indium-doped dislocation-free gallium arsenide monocrystal having a low carbon concentration and grown in the Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski method, comprising a two-step heat treatment:(i) heating the monocrystal at a temperature between 1050.degree. C. and 1200.degree. C. for a predetermined time length, and cooling the monocrystal quickly; and(ii) heating the monocrystal at a temperature between 750.degree. C. and 950.degree. C. for a predetermined time length, and cooling the monocrystal quickly.
