  • Publication number: 20240309511
    Abstract: A plating method includes a preparation process; a first plating process; and a second plating process. In the preparation process, a substrate W having a seed layer 132 of cobalt or a cobalt alloy formed in a recess is prepared. In the first plating process, a displacement plating processing is performed on the substrate W to replace a surface layer of the seed layer 132 with copper by using a first plating liquid L1 containing a copper ion. In the second plating process, after the first plating process, a reduction plating processing is performed on the recess of the substrate W by using a second plating liquid L2 containing a copper ion and a reducing agent.

  • Patent number: 11067506
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage metal is disposed on a base material in a predetermined shape and a predetermined size such that hydrogen is detected based on surface plasmon resonance induced by incident light. The hydrogen storage metal is formed of a film body containing palladium and a noble metal. A spectrum of the light having passed through the hydrogen storage metal in which hydrogen is stored has a peak in a wavelength band separated from an absorption spectrum C1 of carbon dioxide with respect to the light and an absorption spectra H1 to H3 of water with respect to the light.

  • Patent number: 8451091
    Abstract: The present invention provides, as one aspect, a control system having sensor units and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit includes a transmission controlling means which sets a signal line connected to the sensor unit, which is a destination of communication data, to a first state, sets the signal line connected to the sensor unit, which is not the destination, to a second state, and transmits the communication data to the destination via a communication line. The sensor unit includes a reception controlling means which determines a state of the signal line connecting a sensor to the electronic control unit. When determining that the signal line of the sensor unit is in the first state, the reception controlling means receives the communication data and performs a predetermined process. When determining that the signal line is in the second state, the reception controlling means discards the communication data.
