A blow mold for PET bottles has the inner surface which contacts the hot PET during the blowing operation, coated with a layer of ceramic material having a nanometric thickness, of which at least one thickness layer is AI.sub.2O.sub.3 and/or TiO2 deposited by ALD technique. Due to this technique, the PET preforms are subject to less friction during the contact with the interior of the mold.

The invention relates to nano-particles comprising metallic ferromagnetic nanocrystals combined with either amorphous or graphitic carbon in which or on which chemical groups are present that can dissociate in aqueous solutions.

According to the invention there is provided nano-particles comprising metal particles of at least one ferromagnetic metal, which metal particles are at least in part encapsulated by graphitic carbon.

The nano-particles of the invention are prepared by impregnating carbon containing bodies with an aqueous solution of at least one ferromagnetic metal precursor, drying the impregnated bodies, followed by heating the impregnated bodies in an inert and substantially oxygen-free atmosphere, thereby reducing the metal compounds to the corresponding metal or metal alloy.

An apparatus includes a housing, a chamber disposed in the housing and configured to receive a substrate, a shower head disposed outside the housing and configured to supply a process gas to the chamber, and a hot wire at a first temperature disposed between the shower head and the substrate. The hot wire at the first temperature ionizes the process gas, and the ionized gas is supplied to the substrate for performing a hot-wire assisted plasma-assisted pre-cleaning process and a hot-wire assisted atomic layer deposition process. The apparatus also includes a hot plate in the chamber and configured to bring the substrate to a second temperature.

The diamond coated tool of the present invention is a diamond coated tool including a base material and a diamond layer coating a surface of the base material, and characterized in that the surface of the base material has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of not less than 0.1 μm and not more than 10 μm and an average length of roughness profile elements RSm of not less than 3.1 μm and not more than 5.4 μm, and that the diamond layer has a plurality of cavities at a portion bordering on the base material.

A detecting method and a detecting equipment therefor are provided. The detecting method includes: inspecting whether a display panel has a defective position; after acquiring the defective position of the display panel by the inspecting, using a first focused ion beam generated by a first ion overhaul apparatus to cut the defective position of the display panel, so as to strip a defect at the defective position and observe morphology of defect; using a repair apparatus to perform a repair treatment on the defective position after the defect is stripped. An inspection apparatus for the inspecting of the defective position, the first ion overhaul apparatus and the repair apparatus are sequentially installed on the same production line.

The present invention relates to the technical field of inorganic nanofilm materials, and provides a method for preparing a tungsten sulfide thin film. The method comprises the steps of: applying a one-atom-thick W layer on a silicon substrate; applying a one-atom-thick S layer on the W layer; and applying another one-atom-thick W layer on the S layer, to obtain a thin film that is a single-layer thin film having a W—S—W layered structure. The present invention further provides a tungsten sulfide thin film prepared through the method. By means of the method according to the present invention, large-area preparation of the W—S—W thin film is realized, and the quality of the prepared W—S—W thin film is considerably improved, which greatly improves the electrical performance of the W—S—W thin film.

Methods are provided for selectively depositing a surface of a substrate relative to a second, different surface. An exemplary deposition method can include selectively depositing a material, such as a material comprising nickel, nickel nitride, cobalt, iron, and/or titanium oxide on a first surface, such as a SiO.sub.2 surface, relative to a second, different surface, such as a H-terminated surface, of the same substrate. Methods can include treating a surface of the substrate to provide H-terminations prior to deposition.

Methods of forming carbon nanotubes and structures and devices including carbon nanotubes are disclosed. Methods of forming the carbon nanotubes include patterning a surface of a substrate with polymeric material, removing portions of the polymeric material to form exposed substrate surface sections, and forming the carbon nanotubes on the exposed substrate sections.

A hydrophobic surface comprises a surface texture and a coating disposed on the surface texture, wherein the coating comprises an amorphous diamond like carbon material doped with 10 to 35 atomic percent of Si, O, F, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, or a low surface energy material selected from fluoropolymer, silicone, ceramic, fluoropolymer composite, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing; and wherein the surface texture comprises a micro texture, a micro-nano texture, or a combination of a micro texture and a micro-nano texture.
