Inventor: NANBU TOSHIO
IPC: C30B33/00
Filed: 2000-03-23
Granted: 2001-08-21
Abstract: An ultra-high-temperature heat treatment apparatus includes an electric furnace, a furnace tube made of porous SIC/CVD-SIC, a heat-insulating apparatus fitted into the furnace tube for interrupting heat conduction from the furnace tube, a contamination control apparatus disposed beneathe the furnace tube for preventing contamination in the furnace tube, and a separator mechanism for separating a wafer, subject to heat treatment in the furnace tube, from an annular holder. The electric furnace includes a heater comprised of heater elements which are replaceable independently of each other. Each heater element includes a heat-generating portion disposed along the inner wall face of the heat insulator so as not to be in close contact therewith, and a fixture portion fixed to the heat insulator. This heater construction makes it possible to reduce heater repair costs, suppress reactions between the heat-generating portions and the heat insulator, and suppress a contraction of the heat insulator.

Granted: 2002-08-11
Abstract: An optical switch module having a movable mirror disposed between two fixed mirrors. All three mirrors are aligned parallel to each mother in a linear array to form a crossbar switch. The movable mirror moves between a first position and a second position to selectively couple optical signals between two inputs and two outputs.

Such an apparatus can accommodate 2N fiber inputs and 2N fiber outputs, e.g., in an optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM). The parallel configuration of the switch module takes advantage of existing lens array and fiber V-groove technology to facilitate integration of the fibers and collimators in the module, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost associated with alignment, assembly, and packaging.
