Abstract: A heater has a smooth heating surface and a recess formed on a second surface opposite to the heating surface. The recess is formed between opposite side walls in a lengthwise direction of the heater. Formation of the recess improves the electrical resistance of the heater and the opposite side walls reinforce the heater and prevent deformation of the heater when it is subjected to high temperatures in a semiconductor wafer processing device. The heater has substantially the same width along its lengthwise direction. This improves the control of heat pattern design, because the terminal end portions do not have an expanded shape.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a semiconductor wafer heater assembly having a frosted clear quartz material for the wafer susceptor (6) that is placed between the heater (8) and the wafer (7) such that at certain wavelengths of the emitted radiant energy from the heater (8), the frosted clear quartz material is ‘thermally transmissive’ to the thermal radiation from the infrared region. The heater assembly is characterized in that the top quartz plate or susceptor (6) on which the wafer (7) is supported is made of a material that is not “optically transmissive” but is more than 90% “thermally transmissive” to infrared emission that is shorter than 3.5 micrometer wavelength and having higher tolerance and mechanical strength than conventional clear quartz material.

Abstract: When a server receives an information designating image from a communication terminal connected to a server through a network, it sends a URL identifying the storage location of the image to the communication terminal. When the communication terminal receives the URL, it loads the URL into an email and transmits the email to another communication terminal. When the communication terminal that received this email finds out that the URL integrated in the email identifies the storage location of the image, it downloads the image from the server and displays it along with the email by using the URL.

Abstract: This invention provides a nanodisk, which can be formed of a wide variety of materials and has a high level of application, and a method for manufacturing the same. The nanodisk comprises fundamental units formed of two-molecule block copolymers arranged in series in a main chain direction, the fundamental units having been aggregated in a plane direction. The nanodisk has a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm, a diameter of 10 nm to 5 ?m, and an aspect ratio of not less than 1. Since the thickness of the nanodisk is not more than 100 nm, the nanodisk is transparent to light in a visible region. Further, when a metal element is held on the crosslinked structure part, the nanodisk can be utilized as a nanodisk having magnetic properties and electroconductive properties, or a nanodisk having catalytic activity and a high refractive index. Thus, the nanodisk can be applied to a wide variety of fields such as fine particle/powder technology, colloid surface science, electronic materials, and optical materials.
