    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide adhesiveness and a stable structure, and to relatively facilitate manufacture, by projecting at least a part of nano-tubes from the surface of a composite material and setting average projection two times higher than the average diameter of the nano-tube in the composite material. SOLUTION: Carbon nano-tubes 10 and conductive metal powder 12 are prepared, and are actually mixed as uniform as possible, and an obtained composite material is pressed into a green compact 14. An ingot is cut in parallel with an intended emitter surface, or a composite material layer is polished and removed from an ingot surface to expose many nano-tubes 16. A metal layer is removed with edges from the surface of the cut ingot 17 to provide many projecting nano-tubes 16. In this case, length of the projections is two times longer than an average diameter of the nano-tubes, and more preferably 10 times longer than the average diameter.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which is capable of easily forming an oriented Perovskite layer to show the specified piezoelectric coefficient by depositing a template layer on a substrate of diamond, etc., by a vapor phase deposition method, and depositing a lead zirconate titanate layer thereon by the vapor phase deposition method. SOLUTION: A template layer is deposited on a substrate formed of diamond, silicon, platinum-covered material, etc., by a physical or chemical vapor phase deposition method. The template layer is preferably formed of lead titanate, strontium titanate, barium titanate, etc., of about 0.06-0.12 μm in thickness. A lead zirconate titanate(PZT) layer is deposited thereon by the physical or chemical deposition method. The PZT layer has the dielectric constant of about 500-650 at 1 V and 100 kHz, and is preferably formed to be about 0.1-10 μm in thickness. The PZT layer easily forms an oriented Perovskite layer of about 50×10-12 to 350×10-12 m/V in piezoelectric coefficient through the template layer of Perovskite structure.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved process of manufacturing an emitter structure from nano wires. SOLUTION: In an embodiment, at least partially coated nanowires other than magnetic materials are provided. The nanowires have an average length of about 0.1 μm to about 10,000 μm. The nanowares are mixed into a liquid medium, and a magnetic field is applied to position the nanowires. The liquid medium contains precursor materials, such as conductive particles or metal salts or the like, which can be consolidated into a solid matrix. To the matrix are fixed the nanowires in a positioned direction. A portion of the positioned nanowires is exposed, for example, by etching of the surface portion of the matrix material, thereby providing the desired protrusion of the top of the nanowires.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a patterned carbon nanotube thin film. SOLUTION: This method for manufacturing the adhered patterned carbon nanotube thin film is realized. According to the present invention, a substrate is patterned with a carbide-forming material, a carbon-dissolving material or a low melting point metal. Then, carbon nanotubes are deposited, onto the patterned substrate, but have relatively, poor adhesion to the substrate material or the pattern-forming materials. The substrate is subsequently annealed typically in vacuo at a temperature dependent on the particular patterning material, such as a carbide-forming temperature, a carbon-dissolution temperature or a low melting point metal-melting temperature. By the annealing, an adhesive nanotube thin film is formed over the patterned regions, while the nanotubes deposited on the non-patterned regions are easily removed, for example, by blowing, rubbing, brushing or ultrasonication in a solvent such as methanol.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce substantial capacitance connections present in a front-end structure up to first metal interconnect layer including a device substrate in a semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET, etc. SOLUTION: This device has a silicon substrate 12, an isolation structure 10 present in the substrate 12 (for example, a shallow trench isolation), an active element structure (for example, a transistor structure), a dielectric layer covering the active element structure, and a metal interconnect layer (a first metal layer) 28 covering the dielectric layer 26. At least, one of dielectric consisting layers in the front-end structure is provided with a material having a permittivity of less than 3.5. This material having relatively low permittivity reduces the capacitance connections in the front-end structure.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an equi-length nanowire and a circuit device vertically interconnected by the nanowire. SOLUTION: This vertically interconnected circuit device is provided. The circuit device has at least two circuit layers, and a plurality of equi-length nanowires arranged between the circuit layers. The nanowires comprise composites having a heterojunction present along the length thereof to provide for a variety of device applications. This method for making the circuit device includes a step for growing the plurality of nanowires on a removable substrate (a), a step for equalizing the length of the nanowires and for making the length of each of the plurality of nanowires nearly equal (b), a step for transferring and joining exposed ends of the plurality of nanowires to a first circuit layer (c), and a step for removing the substrate (d). The nanowire joined to the first circuit layer is further joined to a second one, thus forming the vertically interconnected circuit device.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved gridded microwave tube equipped with a cold cathode, an anode, and a grid disposed between the anode and the cathode. SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the cold cathode has a refractory metal substrate and carbon nanotube emitters of 1 to 300 nm in diameter and 0.05 to 100 μm in length. The grid-cathode spacing is 1 to 100 μm. The grid has apertures of 0.5 to 100 μm in maximum size, and the thickness of the grid is 0.5 to 100 μm. Direct emission from the cathode to the grid material itself, which undesirably heats up the grid, is reduced either by; (a) providing a shadow mask between the grid and the emitters, or by; (b) selectively forming emitters in positions corresponding to the grid apertures. This microwave tube works at frequencies higher than 0.5 GHz, and it is advantageous to work at frequencies higher than 2 GHz.
