    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a uniform and reproductive vacuum micro element with a gate conductive layer electrically insulated and arranged around a quantum size of thin terminal in such a manner that the short small diameter of the opening of an emitter is equal to or less than a shortest distance between emitter and gate metals. SOLUTION: A Si substrate 1 with n-type impurities doped at a high concentration is thermally oxidized to form a thermally oxidized film 2 of thickness 1.5μm, e.g. on the surface. Then, a 0.2μm thick MO as a gate conductive layer 3 is spattered all over and a 1.0μm thick SiN film 4 is laminated thereon with CVD. An array-patterned photoresist mask with an 2μm diameter of circular opening is formed and laminated films are etched in sequence by using PIE, antimony fluoride etching to expose the Si surface. This is anode-formed in hydrofluoric acid to make the surface porous. Only the shape of the end of an emitter is sharpened so that an obtained element has no leak current to a gate at 1μA per unit opening when 200V voltage is applied to an anode.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enhance a field emission efficiency by providing an emitter material layer equipped with a projecting emitter having a sharp tip, an emitter core material layer superposed on the emitter material layer, and an anode electrode opposite to the emitter. CONSTITUTION:A recess is formed on an Si monocrystal substrate serving as an auxiliary substrate. A semiconductor layer composed of a boron diffusing layer 13 is formed on the surface of the Si monocrystal substrate including the recess. An insulative layer 14 is formed on the semiconductor layer. An emitter material layer 15 is formed on the insulative layer 14. On the layer 15, an emitter core material layer 16 is made of a material having a specific resistance larger than that of a constituent material of the layer 15. Consequently, an emitter 23 in conformity of the shape of the recess can be formed with high reproducibility. Furthermore, a protecting effect of the emitter 23 by the layers 13, 14 allows stable formation of the pyramid-like emitter 23 having a sharp tip.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To restore an actuator to an initial position at the transforming time of an operation mode by providing a stop control means gradually reducing the output voltage of a driving voltage source at a prescribed timing, finally making it to a zero, and restoring an electromechanical transforming element to the initial position corresponding to the mode switching command of an information reproducing device. CONSTITUTION:A dynamic tracking device is provided with the stop control means gradually reducing the driving voltage to autuators 29A and 29B of reproducing heads 28A and 29B at the prescribed timing, finally making it to the zero, and restoring the autuators 29A and 29B to the initial position corresponding to the reproduction stop command of the information reproducing device. In the device by this constitution, since the driving voltage to the actuators 29A and 29B does not suddenly turn to the zero at the reproduction stop, but is reduced gradually, at the transforming time of the reproduction stop, it is possible to accurately restore the actuators 29A and 29B to the initial position by a mode stop control circuit 40A without generating a ringing, and thus, it is possible to control the head moving position at the next mode operation time, and also to prolong the life time of the actuators 29A and 29B.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a new fine movement mechanism with a high resolution, a large stroke, a high rigidity between a probing needle and a sample, and which shows a linear displacement for applied voltage by employing a disk- shaped bimorph element in the fine movement mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A fine movement mechanism consists of a disk-shaped bimorph element 1 and a fixing tool 5 which completely fixes the surrounding and a displacement is generated by applying the same drive electric field to the electrode of both surface. For example, when a positive electric field is applied to the electrode of both surfaces, the disk-shaped bimorph element 1 deviates in S-character shape with the center as the boundary and the central part moves in vertical direction within the element surface. Application of a negative electric field also induces movement in the opposite direction. For linearly driving this disk-shaped bimorph element, an electrode which is divided into two portions in the direction of radius on both surfaces of disk is formed, polarization treatment is provided so that the direction of polarization may be perfectly opposite with this two-division part as a boundary, and the same drive electric field is applied to both parts for improving efficiency.
