    摘要: A stage according to an exemplary embodiment has an electrostatic chuck. The electrostatic chuck has a base and a chuck main body. The chuck main body is provided on the base and configured to hold a substrate with electrostatic attractive force. The chuck main body has a plurality of first heaters and a plurality of second heaters. The number of second heaters is larger than the number of first heaters. The first heater controller drives the plurality of first heaters by an alternating current output or a direct current output from a first power source. The second heater controller drives the plurality of second heaters by an alternating current output or a direct current output from a second power source which has electric power lower than electric power of the output from the first power source.

    摘要: A binding machine, includes a staple guide portion adjacent to a staple in a staple accommodating portion. A staple driver moves from below to above and pushes the staple located at the front end portion upward while pushing the crown portion of the staple. A clincher abuts against the pair of leg portions of the staple pushed out in a process of the staple driver moving upward from below so as to fold the pair of leg portions. The staple guide supports the crown portion of the staple from a side near a base end portion of the crown portion in a process of the staple being pushed out.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a container; a stage disposed in the container and including an electrode; a plasma source that generates plasma in the container; a bias power supply that periodically supplies a pulsed negative DC voltage to the electrode; an edge ring disposed to surround a substrate placed on the stage; and a DC power supply that supplies a DC voltage to the edge ring. The DC power supply supplies a first DC voltage in a first time period when the pulsed negative DC voltage is not supplied to the electrode, and supplies a second DC voltage in a second time period when the pulsed negative DC voltage is supplied to the electrode.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a chamber having a sidewall and a plasma processing space surrounded by the sidewall, and a first side gas inlet line and a second side gas inlet line configured to introduce at least one gas from the sidewall into the plasma processing space. The first side gas inlet line includes a plurality of first side gas injectors symmetrically arranged along a circumferential direction on the sidewall and configured to introduce the gas in a first direction into the plasma processing space. Further, the second side gas inlet line includes a plurality of second side gas injectors symmetrically arranged along the circumferential direction on the sidewall and configured to introduce the gas in a second direction different from the first direction into the plasma processing space.
