  • Publication number: 20180264696
    Abstract: An object is to provide a metal-resin bonded member that is easy to manufacture and has high bonding strength. The metal-resin bonded member includes a metal body having an iron oxide layer on the surface and a resin body bonded to the metal body via the iron oxide layer. The iron oxide layer has a thickness of 50 nm to 10 ?m. The iron oxide layer comprises 60-40 at % Fe and 40-60 at % O at the outermost surface side. The iron oxide layer contains magnetite (Fe3O4). The iron oxide layer is formed by heating the surface of an iron-based substrate at 200-850° C. in an oxidation atmosphere. The resin body is composed of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The bonding of the metal body and the resin body via the iron oxide layer can be carried out by insert molding, thermal adhesion utilizing friction heating, etc.

  • Publication number: 20070186118
    Abstract: In the case of the ordinary Move function, the original content is erased and when normal move cannot be performed, the content is lost. This problem can be solved without departing from the Move concept of copy once. Unique IDs are acquired from at least two recording device and a mutual ID having the unique ID and a mutual encryption key as elements is created. Here, it is assumed that when the mutual ID is copied together with the encrypted content to another recording device, the original mutual ID is deleted. In a recording device where the mutual ID and the encrypted content are both recorded, reproduction and decryption is enabled when one of the unique IDs in the mutual ID is matched with the unique ID of the recording device.

  • Patent number: 7026257
    Abstract: A method is used for forming a low relative permittivity dielectric film by a vacuum ultraviolet CVD. The film is a silicon organic film (e.g., SiOCH, SiC, SiCH, and SiOF films) that has a controlled relative permittivity and is formed at temperatures below 350° C. The method can control the content of carbon in the film to achieve a desired relative permittivity. A desired relative permittivity can be achieved by: {circle around (1)} controlling the type and flow rate of added gas (O2, N2O) that contains oxygen atoms; {circle around (2)} controlling the flow rate of TEOS; {circle around (3)} controlling the intensity of light emitted from the excimer lamp; {circle around (4)} elevating the temperatures of the synthetic quartz window and the gas flowing in the vacuum chamber, and controlling the distance between the synthetic quartz window and the wafer; and {circle around (5)} controlling the temperature of the wafer.

  • Patent number: 6624094
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an interlayer dielectric film by vacuum ultraviolet CVD including the steps of placing a wafer in a vacuum chamber having a window; causing a first gas that contains silicon atoms to flow through the vacuum chamber; exposing the wafer to light emitted from a Xe2 excimer lamp through the window; and maintaining an atmosphere in the chamber at a first temperature which is less than 350° C. to form an insulating film on the wafer which substantially fills stepped portions of the wafer to provide step coverage and which has a substantially flat top surface.

  • Publication number: 20020028587
    Abstract: A method is used for forming an SIOCH film on a wafer by a vacuum ultraviolet CVD. The film has a flat top surface and a good step coverage effect. The wafer is placed in TEOS and is exposed to ultraviolet. The chamber is maintained below 350° C. Oxygen may be added to TEOS. After formation of the film, the temperature of the chamber is elevated, oxygen may be stopped and then the film is further processed in TEOS alone, or the film in the chamber is exposed to vacuum ultraviolet.
