Title: Method for producing conductive zinc oxide film
Inventor: MATSUSHITA NOBUHIRO
IPC: H01B13/00
Filed: 2011-01-07
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method for producing a conductive ZnO film achieving area enlargement and mass production at low cost and with a low environmental load.SOLUTION: In the presence of citric acid, a crystal of zinc oxide (ZnO) is deposited on a substrate in a liquid phase deposition method. Since the citric acid is adsorbed to a surface of a ZnO (0001) face, the anisotropic growth in the c-axis direction of the crystal is suppressed during the deposition reaction and a compact crystal film is formed on a substrate surface. Thereafter, since ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the thus-formed ZnO crystal film, organic acid having been taken inside the film is photodecomposed. As a result, a carrier trapped in the organic acid is discharged into the crystal film. Conductivity suitable for the ZnO crystal film is imparted.

IPC: B60W10/06
Filed: 2011-02-14
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving device for a hybrid vehicle that facilitates switching control from a series traveling to an engine traveling.SOLUTION: A first clutch C1 disposed between an engine 14 and a first motor generator MG1 and a front wheel 16 serves as a one-way clutch which allows power transmission from the engine 14 to the front wheel 16 but inhibits power transmission from the front wheel 16 to the engine 14.
