Abstract: A lift-off procedure is provided which enables prevention of damage to a wiring pattern caused by contact of a metal being peeled off from a wafer with a wiring pattern at a time of lift-off procedure. A wafer having a surface on which a pattern is formed which contains a pattern portion to be removed is soaked into a chemical liquid at an angle at which the surface faces downward.

Abstract: In a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, an insulating layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, then a resist layer is formed on the insulating layer to have an opening therein. Next, removing the insulating layer at the bottom of the opening, then a reflow process is performed to the resist layer to have a curved surface thereon.

Abstract: A hand tool which includes a cushion member of a construction which is capable of preventing the separation of a cushion member due to frictional heat and force generated during the grinding operation. The abrasive hand tool includes a tool body having a generally flat bearing surface and a thin sheet-like cushion member fixedly secured to the bearing surface of the tool body. The cushion member includes an inner layer fixedly bonded to the bearing surface of the tool body via an adhesive and an outer layer layered and bonded with the inner layer. The outer layer defines on the outer surface thereof a generally flat attachment surface for detachably holding an attachment means-backed abrasive sheet. The inner layer is made of a soft resinous foam, such as polyvinyl chloride resin, polyurethane resin or others.
