Conductive materials that have low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) and that are used for power and ground planes are disclosed. Fibrous materials (such as carbon, graphite, glass, quartz, polyethylene, and liquid crystal polymer fibers) with low CTEs are metallized to provide a resultant conductive material with a low CTE. Such fibers may be metallized in their individual state and then formed into a fabric, or these materials may be formed into a fabric and then metallized or a combination of both metallizations may be used. In addition, a graphite or carbon sheet may be metallized on one or both sides to provide a material that has a low CTE and high conductivity. These metallized, low CTE power and ground planes may be laminated with other planes / cores into a composite, or laminated into a core which is then laminated with other planes / cores into a composite. The resultant composite may be used for printed circuit boards (PCBs) or PCBs used as laminate chip carriers.

Annular members having an aluminum base body coated with an insulation film formed by hard alumite processing are used as spacers (42A) alternately arrayed with flat-ring-shaped electrodes (41) along an axis (C). The insulation film provides electrical insulation between the electrodes (41) neighboring each other. This film is omitted on one side of the spacer (42A) so that the base body of this spacer is in contact with and electrically connected to one of the two electrodes (41) between which the spacer (42A) is sandwiched. Voltages applied to the electrodes (41) give specific potentials to the spacers (42A), thereby enabling the spacers (42A) to serve as a shield electrode which reduces the influence of an external electric field on an electric field within a drift unit (4). The use of such spacers decreases the cost of an ion transport device used for a drift region in an ion mobility spectrometer.

A deposition ring is used on thin film deposition equipment which includes a chuck to hold a wafer. The deposition ring is arranged on the circumferential wall of the chuck and includes an inner ring and a protective member. The inner ring is adjacent to the circumferential wall. The protective member is jutting from the inner ring and has a circumferential surface, a barrier surface and a tip edge. The circumferential surface opposes the circumferential wall.
