Abstract:
A first excimer lamp includes: a quartz glass-made light-emitting tube containing an excimer emission gas sealed therein; and a pair of electrodes for generating dielectric barrier discharge. One of the pair of electrodes is disposed in the inner space of the light-emitting tube so as to extend in the direction of a tube axis of the light-emitting tube, and the other one of the pair of electrodes is embedded in the tube wall of the light-emitting tube so as to extend in the direction of the tube axis of the light-emitting tube. The one electrode is electrically connected to a conductive foil hermetically embedded in an end portion of the light-emitting tube.

In another embodiment, a barrier covers part of the gas reservoir layer. The barrier may include a foil substrate, a passivation layer, or a gas-permeable layer.
Abstract:
A method of forming a layer (12) of getter particles (11) on a glass part (10) includes contacting the getter particles with the glass part and irradiating the particles through the glass by a laser, thus heating the particles at a temperature greater than the softening temperature of the glass but lower than the melting temperature of the particles.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a getter material configured by a pressed powder mixture comprising Ba—Al alloy powder and Ni powder, wherein when the pressed powder mixture is heated in a vacuum atmosphere or an inert gas atmosphere, a temperature at which an exothermic reaction starts is ranging from 750° C. to 900° C. According to this getter material, since the temperature at which the pressed powder mixture starts the exothermic reaction is set within a range from 750° C. to 900° C., there can be provided a getter material and an evaporation type getter device capable of suitably controlling an evaporation amount of getter components under a stable condition, and is excellent in responsiveness because a time ranging from a starting time of heating the getter material to a starting time of evaporation of the getter components can be shortened. In addition, the metal container to be filled with the getter material is free from deformation and melting, and a heat-evaporation process time of the getter material can be shortened, so that there can be provided the evaporation type getter device excellent in responsiveness because a time required for the electron tube to attain to a predetermined vacuum degree can be also shortened.
