A side air bag device has an air bag and a substantially cylindrical inflator for supplying inflation gas to the air bag. The air bag includes a cloth bag and is installed in a vehicle interior in a folded state along the edge of a door opening. The air bag deploys so as to cover the door opening when it inflates. The air bag has a substantially cylindrical tubular gas inflow portion. This gas inflow portion is connected to the inflator so that it covers the inflator. The gas inflow portion is clamped to the outer circumferential surface of the inflator. With a side air bag device according to the invention it is not necessary to use a long pipe that from the inflator and it is possible to increase the freedom of installation of the device and also reduce its weight and cost.
摘要:
A charged particle beam exposure method and apparatus, in which a charged particle beam is shaped based on pattern data and the shaped charged particle beam is irradiated to a desired location on a sample. The method and apparatus includes introducing ozone gas into a chamber through which the charged particle beam is passed, shaped and deflected, to be irradiated to the desired location while the charged particle beam is irradiated through the chamber. The ozone gas concentration in the chamber is maintained so that the concentration downstream along the beam is higher than the concentration upstream along the beam. A charge-up drift due to a contamination material from a resist on a wafer can be avoided by the ozone self cleaning. The ozone oxidation does not occur at the upstream chamber where there is a lower ozone concentration and lower contamination.

A charged particle beam exposure method including steps of creating dot pattern data indicative of a pattern to be exposed, storing the dot pattern data in a first storage device having a first access speed, transferring the dot pattern data from the first storage device to a second storage device having a second, higher access speed, reading the dot pattern data out from the second storage device, and producing a plurality of charged particle beams in response to the dot pattern data read out from the second storage device by means of a blanking aperture array. The blanking aperture array includes a plurality of apertures each causing turning-on and turning-off of a changed particle beam pertinent to the aperture in response to the dot pattern data.

A method of exposing a wafer to a charged-particle beam by directing to the wafer the charged-particle beam deflected by a deflector includes the steps of arranging a plurality of first marks at different heights, focusing the charged-particle beam on each of the first marks by using a focus coil provided above the deflector, obtaining a focus distance for each of the first marks, obtaining deflection-efficiency-correction coefficients for each of the first marks, and using linear functions of the focus distance for approximating the deflection-efficiency-correction coefficients to obtain the deflection-efficiency-correction coefficients for an arbitrary value of the focus distance. A device for carrying out the method is also set forth.

Adjusting variable delay circuit 311, receiving signal S1, is connected to the input of drive circuit 312. A time point t1, when the output potential of drive circuit 312 traverses reference potential VA between the potential Va of traveling wave V1F of the output potential and 0 V, is detected by comparator 52 for detecting the front edge of V1F, detecting variable delay circuit 50 for delaying signal S1 and D flip-flop 51 for holding the output of comparator 52 at the timing of front edge of the signal outputted from delay circuit 50. A time point t2, when the output potential of drive circuit 312 traverses reference potential VB between the superimposed potential of traveling wave V1F and reflected wave V1B and VA, is detected by comparator 62 for detecting the front edge of V1B, detecting variable delay circuit 60 for delaying signal S1 and D flip-flop 61 for holding the output of comparator 62 at the timing of front edge of the signal outputted from delay circuit 60. The delay time of adjusting variable delay circuit 311 is set so that value {t1+(t2-t1)/2} becomes substantially same as to all the output potentials of drive circuit 31 and so on.

A charged particle beam exposure method is adapted to an exposure apparatus which includes a plurality of exposure systems that simultaneously expose the same pattern. The method includes the steps of (a) generating, by a pattern generating unit in each exposure system, data related to patterns which are to be exposed, (b) deflecting, by a column unit in each exposure system, a charged particle beam onto an object which is mounted on a stage by deflecting the charged particle beam based on the data generated by the pattern generating unit in a corresponding exposure system, and (c) detecting an abnormality in the exposure apparatus during operation of the exposure apparatus based on data which are obtained from corresponding parts of the exposure systems.

A monocrystal pulling apparatus according to the Czochralski technique, provided with a flow controller which guides a carrier gas supplied from the top of a pulling cheer to the surface of a melt of a material forming the monocrystal and exhausts the silicon oxide vaporizing from the surface of the melt to the outside of the pulling chamber and which surrounds the pulled monocrystal near the surface of the melt and is provided partially inside a crucible, wherein the flow controller has a tubular portion which has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the crucible and extends substantially perpendicularly along the direction of downward flow of the carrier gas, a constricted diameter portion which constricts in diameter from the bottom end of the tubular portion and forms a bottom gap with the pulled monocrystal, and an engagement portion which projects out from the top of the tubular portion and forms a top gap at the outer circumference of the tubular portion of the flow controller by supporting the flow controller partially in the pulling chamber. As a result, a first flow path through which the carrier gas flows toward said bottom gap is defined between the inside of the tubular portion and the pulled monocrystal, a second flow path is defined comprised of a flow path of the carrier gas passing through the top gap and a flow path of the carrier gas passing from the first flow path through the bottom gap and then passing between the surface of the silicon melt and flow controller. The silicon oxide is exhausted together with the carrier gas through the second flow path to the outside of the pulling chamber.
