An elongated burner for producing a stream of metal oxide soot comprises a burner face having two parallel arrays of orifices for issuing a gas-oxygen mixture to produce two intersecting linear flames. Disposed between the gas-oxygen orifices is an array of orifices for issuing metal halide vapor into the flame. Two parallel arrays of orifices, one on each side of the vapor orifices and closely spaced therewith provide high velocity jets of inner shield gas on opposite sides of the vapor streams...

Method and apparatus for use of emitting, ionizing, accelerating and collecting elements in a high vacuum to implant a hard film on a plastic substrate or the like. In preparation, a slug of a selected material to be deposited as a film is placed in the emitter. The specimens or articles to be implanted are placed on supports in the vicinity of the collector. A cover enclosure is then placed in position and the region enclosed by the cover is exhausted to a high vacuum. Selected potentials are a...

The invention relates to a method of depositing a metal on a heat-conducting substrate, in which a surface (2) of the substrate is irradiated at at least one area (3) in a bath by a laser beam and the metal is deposited from the bath at that area (3) on the substrate (1). In order to improve the localization of the deposited metal at the irradiated area and in its immediate surroundings, according to the invention, the metal is deposited on a layer (7) of the substrate (1) located at least at th...

An improvement in an apparatus for transporting and depositing panels with smooth surfaces, comprising a conveyor having substantially horizontally oriented endless belt. A plurality of suction holders carried by said belt means with a suction cut and a venting valve which is opened for depositing said panel at a depositing position. Each of said suction cups is displaceable parallel with the transport direction in relation to the zone of attachment of its body to said belt by a stop provided at...

A method of depositing a metal on a surface is disclosed. The method comprises coating the surface with a sensitizing solution comprising at least a reducible salt of a non-noble metal. The coated surface is selectively treated to reduce the metal salt to metallic nuclei to form a catalytic pattern thereon capable of directly catalyzing the deposition of a metal on the nuclei from an electroless metal deposition solution. The selectively treated surface is then exposed to a stripping solution co...

A microwave plasma rector is disclosed comprising a vacuum chamber, a microwave generator for generating a microwave standing wave therein, inlet and outlet ports, a susceptor within the chamber, at least one dielectric plate and a heater for heating the susceptor. The dielectric plate alters the shape of the produced plasma from a sphere to a short bulging cylinder. The modified plasma ball results in increased thickness uniformity of the deposited material.

A depositing method of wall concrete, in which unset concrete is deposited in a form, includes the step of disposing a non-hygroscopic soft sheet which has a large number of hollow projections or ridges on an inner surface of the form being deformable when lateral pressure is applied thereto by the hardening of the concrete.

An improved capacitor for a semiconductor memory, and method for depositing material on a substrate is shown. The material to be deposited is energized by irradiation with light in a chamber in which a CVD method is carried out. The energy induced by the irradiation remains in the molecules of the material even after the molecules have lain on the substrate. With the residual energy, the molecules can wander on the substrate even to a hidden surface. Due to this wandering, the deposition can be ...

A thin layer depositing apparatus comprising a reaction vessel for putting therein substrates to be provided with a desired thin layer and a gas accelerating nozzle positioned at a desired portion of the reaction vessel so that reactive gas is introduced in the reaction vessel through the gas accelerating nozzle.

A test device for use in determining analyte wherein binder is supported on a solid support in admixture with a marker whereby the presence and location of binder on the support can be determined prior to the assay. A control for the assay may also be applied to the support in admixture with a label.
