A method of making a composite material, the method comprising: providing a tile, wherein the tile comprises an inorganic material; and bonding the tile to a ductile backing material using heat-curable adhering material and catalyzed foamable exothermic material between the tile and the ductile backing material, wherein heat generated from the use of the catalyzed foamable exothermic material cures the heat-curable adhering material. In some embodiments, the exotherm from the foaming of the foamable exothermic material cures the heat-curable adhering material for a time sufficient to unite a solid foam body to the heat-curable adhering material of the tile and the ductile backing material. The method is particularly advantageous in bonding a tile composed of nano-particles to a ductile backing material, as it helps retain the nanoscale properties of the nano-particles in the tile. |

SOLUTION: A working apparatus for working an object to be worked by using a mold comprises a first supporting part for supporting the mold, a second supporting part disposed in counter to the first supporting part, and a means for working the object to be worked by pressing the mold and the object to be worked by using the supporting parts. Either one of the surface of the first supporting part for supporting the mold and the surface of the second supporting part for supporting the object to be worked is smaller than the surface of the mold and the surface of the object to be worked.

| patent | WORKING METHOD USING ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE FINE WORKING DEVICE | Construction | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the throughput of a removing process without overetching or leaving an unetched part of a fine working device using atomic force microscope techniques. SOLUTION:... PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the throughput of a removing process without overetching or leaving an unetched part of a fine working device using atomic force microscope techniques. SOLUTION: When mechanical working is performed while only the objective region 3 is selectively and repeatedly scanned (in the direction parallel to the cantilever 2 upon detecting bending and perpendicular to the cantilever upon detecting distortion) in a state in which a feedback control system 9 for a Z piezo element of a cantilever 2 of the atomic force microscope having a probe 1 harder than the material to be processed is turned off to fix the height to a target height, the bending or distortion of the cantilever 2 is monitored by a quadruple photodetector 7, and the working is repeated until the bending or distortion, that is an elastic deformation amount of the cantilever 2 reaches a predetermined threshold or lower. As the method requires no observation scanning for acquiring the height information to detect a finish point, the throughput of processing can be improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |

An electron beam lithography machine (10) comprises a column (11) for generating an electron beam (12), a stage (17) for carrying a workpiece (15) to be acted on by the beam, for example for writing a pattern, vertical displacing means (20) for displacing the stage (17) in substantially vertical direction towards and away from the column and a detector (35) for detecting the relationship of a reference plane (A) associated with the column and a reference plane (B) associated with the stage (17) and causing the displacing means (20) to displace the stage in dependence on the detected relationship. The reference planes can be, for example, a writing plane (A) of the beam (12) and a top surface plane (B) of the workpiece (15), which can be brought into coincidence prior to, for example, pattern-writing on workpieces with different thicknesses. |
