Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An anodic oxide film structure cutting method is provided. The method includes: an etching step of forming an etched groove by etching one surface of an anodic oxide film having a plurality of anodizing pores along a predetermined cutting line and forming increased-diameter pores by enlarging entrances of the anodizing pores positioned on an inner bottom surface of the etched groove; and a cutting step of cutting the anodic oxide film along the etched groove. Also provided is a unit anodic oxide film structure produced by the cutting method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A unit anodic oxide film structure, comprising: a body portion having a plurality of anodizing pores formed vertically therein; a step portion having a step difference formed so as to surround the periphery of said body portion, wherein an upper surface of said step portion is positioned lower than an upper surface of said body portion; electrodes formed on said upper surface of said body portion; and a plurality of increased-diameter pores formed on said upper surface of said step portion, the diameter of entrances of the increased-diameter pores is larger than the diameter of entrances of the anodizing pores formed on said upper surface of said body portion, and at least some of said entrances of said increased-diameter pores formed on said upper surface of said step portion being connected to each other to form a space, wherein the increased-diameter pores and the space serve to relieve external stresses acting in a lateral direction.
