Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor thin film, capable of dicing a semiconductor thin film in a comparatively short time and forming the cut surface comparatively smoothly, and to provide a semiconductor thin film, a semiconductor thin-film chip, an electron tube provided with the semiconductor thin film and a light detector. SOLUTION: When dicing in a chip form a Si substrate 10, having a diamond thin film 12 formed on the surface 10a thereof, regions having modified properties are formed by means of a multiphoton absorption process, by locating a light focusing point P in the interior of the substrate 10 and the diamond thin film 12 and irradiating with a laser light L, thereby forming dicing start regions 8a, 8b along scheduled dice lines with the modified-property regions. Next, the Si substrate 10 and the diamond thin film 12 are cut along the dicing start regions 8a and 8b. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photocathode capable of easily and effectively improving quantum efficiency on a photoelectric face. SOLUTION: The photocathode comprises a ferroelectric substrate 12 and a photoelectric face 11 formed on the ferroelectric substrate 12. This also specifies that the vicinity of the interface between the ferroelectric substrate 12 and the photoelectric face 11 becomes a negative potential by polarizing the ferroelectric substrate 12 so that the photoelectric face side of the ferroelectric substrate 12 be a negative pole. As the result, potential inclination can be easily and effectively formed inside the photoelectric face. Also, the photoelectron excited inside the photoelectric face is at a position to easily go in the direction of the emitting face to improved the quantum efficiency.
