  • Patent number: 11940347
    Abstract: A pressure sensor has a stem in which a pressure introduction hole into which a pressure medium is introduced and a diaphragm deformable according to the pressure of the pressure medium are formed, and a strain detecting element which is arranged on the diaphragm via an insulating film and being configured to output a detection signal according to the deformation of the diaphragm. The strain detecting element is configured to have a portion made of polysilicon. A low doping layer having a higher electrical resistivity than polysilicon and a higher crystallinity than the insulating film is arranged between the insulating film and the strain detecting element.

  • Patent number: 10212869
    Abstract: A printed circuit board is fabricated in a manufacturing process. In an inspection process, first and second light sources of an inspection device irradiate the printed circuit board with first and second light having first and second wavelength distributions. First and second imaging devices produce a monochromatic first image and a color second image of an inspection subject region of the printed circuit board based on the first and second light respectively reflected by the printed circuit board. Presence and absence of a defect is determined based on at least the first image by automatic optical inspection. Further, verification of the defect is performed by visual observation of at least the second image.

  • Patent number: 8773159
    Abstract: A plurality of assembly sheets are placed on an upper surface of a substrate adsorption platform, and a pressing plate is placed on the plurality of assembly sheets placed on the substrate adsorption platform such that the plurality of assembly sheets are pressed by the pressing plate. In this state, a DC power supply device is turned on and causes the upper surface of the substrate adsorption platform to be charged, thereby causing the plurality of assembly sheets to be adsorbed on the upper surface by an electrostatic force. Then, the pressing plate placed on the plurality of assembly sheets is removed while the upper surface of the substrate adsorption platform is charged, and automatic appearance inspection is performed on the plurality of assembly sheets adsorbed on the upper surface of the substrate adsorption platform.
