Abstract: Disclosed is a ReCr alloy coating for diffusion barrier formed on a substrate, such as a high-temperature equipment member, which comprises an atomic composition of 50% to less than 90% Re, with the remainder consisting essentially of Cr except for inevitable impurities. Even if the alloy coating for diffusion barrier includes a diffusion layer containing at least one of the group consisting of Al, Si and Cr, a desired alloy composition of the alloy coating for diffusion barrier can be assured by a surface coating process and diffused components from the substrate while substantially preventing the diffusion of the elements of the diffusion layer during a homogenizing heat treatment. The alloy coating for diffusion barrier may include a Re-containing-alloy stress relief layer inserted between the film and the substrate. The ReCr—Ni alloy coating can suppress the deterioration of the substrate and the coating layer due to the reaction therebetween to provide an extended life span of the equipment member.

Abstract: A plasma vapor deposition apparatus which can form high-quality films of ITO, for example, with high productivity, includes a vapor deposition chamber, a drive and a horizontally rotating circular holding plate connected to the drive located in a lower portion of the chamber, the circular holding plate having a circular vapor source material mounting centered at the rotational axis about which the plate is rotated by the drive, and coil-shaped electrodes for exciting vapor produced by evaporating the vapor source material. A film thickness correcting plate is interposed between the holding plate and the path along which the substrate is transported through the chamber by a transporting device. This plate is configured to so shield a portion of the substrate so that an excess of excited vapor particles do not accumulate at a given site on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: An ink-jet recording head, in which two piezoelectric substrates are opposite each other in polarization direction, and grooves are formed across the interface of the two substrates at a predetermined pitch so as to form cavities. One of each of the cavities is opened to the atmosphere and include an orifice adapted for squirting ink drops. The cavities have electrodes formed on their inner surfaces. When a voltage of one polarity is applied to the electrode for the cavity from which ink drops is to be generated whereas a voltage of the other polarity is applied to the electrodes for the two adjacent cavities, the diaphragms separating the three cavities deform in a shear mode towards the cavity from which ink drops is to be generated. As a result, the capacity of the cavity from which ink drops is to be generated decreases to have the ink in the cavity squirt outward from the orifice.
