A third object of the present invention is to provide a stretchable conductor sheet having a small change in specific resistance even when repeatedly washed, and a paste for forming a stretchable conductor sheet, which is used for the stretchable conductor sheet. The first object of the present invention can accomplish a stretchable conductor sheet having a thickness of 3 to 800 μm, the stretchable conductor sheet comprising at least conductive particles, inorganic particles surface-treated with a hydroxide and / or an oxide of one or both of Al and Si, and a flexible resin having a tensile elastic modulus of 1 MPa or more and 1000 MPa or less, wherein in each of two orthogonal directions, a specific resistance change ratio of the sheet at a time of elongation by 40% with respect to an original length is less than ±10% in an elongation direction.

The present invention is concerned with a building system comprising i) at least first and second hollow blocks each having at least one side wall, and at least two end walls extending in at least one common direction, at least one of the walls in each block having a given thickness and being provided with a first cut-out extending throughout said wall thickness at a first free end of said wall, and ii) at least one connector element defining a cylindrical hollow body having a shape and size conforming with a perimeter corresponding to a juxtaposition of said first and second cut-outs for snug engagement within the perimeter, and at least one first flange projecting from a first end of the body and at least one second flange projecting from a second end of the body, said first and second flanges defining an intermediate spacing substantially equal to twice the value of said thickness. Thereby, the first block can be connected to the second block for erecting structures by registering cut-outs of adjacent walls against each other and connecting said adjacent walls together by snugly positioning the connector element in the cut-outs with first and second flanges abutting respectively on inner faces of each of the adjacent walls.

A mobile, transportable, unipolar electrostatic chuck for clamping thin wafers is described, which avoids unintentional discharging of the package of Mobile Chuck and wafer during wet processing. Short circuits between the contact holes of the chuck and the clamped wafer can lead to the loss of clamping force. A pn-junction within the semiconductor substrate material electrode of the chuck is disclosed, which is using a diode effect to avoid the loss of charges. Dielectric protection layers of PTFE, Y2O3 or ferroelectric materials can be used to cover the open contacts of the chuck. This enables the application of Mobile Chucks also for wet etch-, photo- and cleaning processes. Mobile Chucks are made of semiconductor material and semiconductor manufacturing processes are applied. Those Mobile Chucks have nearly identical properties as the clamping substrate itself. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination, particle generation and the risk of mechanical stress due to different coefficients of thermal expansion.
