Filed: 2002-12-25
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid an etching obstruction of a Cr film and stripping of photoresist due to too much etching time when a multilayer Al/Cr film is patterned.  <P>SOLUTION: A Cr film 2 is deposited on a glass substrate 1 and subjected to O2 plasma processing thus forming a thin oxide film layer 3 on the surface of the Cr film 2. An Al film 4 is then deposited and photoresist 5 is patterned. Subsequently, The Al film 4 is wet etched using the resist 5 as a mask. The taper shape is realized by setting the composition ratio of a mixed acid etching liquid of phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid such that the sum of concentration of nitric acid and acetic acid is not smaller than 16 wt%. The photoresist is stripped and removed prior to Cr wet etching and the oxide film layer 3 and the Cr film 2 are wet-etched using the Al film 4.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

The image reader has a CPU 61 changes reference voltage of the A/D converter 56 used in reading a reference whiteboard 41 to obtain the original and correction data between particular systems to each other with one and the same ratio if the digital signal is not within an optional range in an optional amplification range of the gain amplifier 53.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
