摘要:
A substrate treatment apparatus that treats a substrate under treatment has an interface section, a substrate loading/unloading section, a reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber, and an exposure treatment chamber. The interface section has a conveyance mechanism that can freely load and unload the substrate under treatment from another device into the apparatus or vice versa. The substrate under treatment can be loaded and unloaded into and from the substrate loading/unloading section in one direction by the conveyance mechanism of the interface section. The reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber is disposed adjacent to and perpendicular to the direction of the substrate loading/unloading section and has a conveyance mechanism that conveys the substrate under treatment under a reduced pressure atmosphere. The exposure treatment chamber is disposed adjacent to and in parallel with the direction of the reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber and performs an exposure treatment for the substrate under treatment.

The present invention provides an apparatus for heating or cooling a polishing surface. This apparatus includes a heat exchanger arranged so as to face the polishing surface when the workpiece is polished. The heat exchanger includes a medium passage through which a heat-exchanging medium flows, and a bottom surface facing the polishing surface. At least a part of the bottom surface is inclined with an upward gradient above the polishing surface such that a polishing liquid on the polishing surface generates a lift exerted on the bottom surface during movement of the polishing surface.

A submersible motor pump includes a water jacket having a circulation passage of a coolant, a centrifugal impeller for circulating the coolant, a suction passage configured to provide fluid communication between the circulation passage and a fluid inlet of the centrifugal impeller, and a discharge passage configured to provide fluid communication between a fluid outlet of the centrifugal impeller and the circulation passage. The discharge passage includes a heat-exchange passage formed by two wall surfaces, one of which is constituted by a member which contacts a liquid conveyed by a main impeller. The heat-exchange passage has a circular shape extending radially outwardly from the fluid outlet of the centrifugal impeller. The heat-exchange passage includes at least one axial passage section having a length component in an axial direction of the rotational shaft.

A magnetic bearing enables to rotatably support a levitated body non-contactingly disposed in a hermetically sealed container filled with a gaseous process substance of a corrosive nature, while without contaminating the gaseous environment and suffering from corrosion. The magnetic bearing has an electromagnet for supporting a levitated body, a displacement sensor for detecting a levitated position of the levitated body, and a controller for supplying signals and excitation currents to the displacement sensor and the electromagnet through cables. An electromagnet target of the magnetic bearing that generates variations in magnetic fields due to rotation of the levitated body, is constructed of a single piece of ferromagnetic material, and is provided with an electrical insulation structure oriented parallel to magnetic fluxes generated by the electromagnet.

A dynamic pressure bearing is provided with a moving side bearing member and a fixed side bearing member so as to support a rotor for rotation by generating a fluid dynamic pressure between the moving side bearing member and the fixed side bearing member. The dynamic pressure bearing includes a high-frequency exciting device for applying a high-frequency vibration to the fixed side bearing member at the time of at least one of start-up and shutdown of the rotor. In this way, both bearing members are kept almost free from contact with each other and a frictional resistance at start-up and/or shutdown is minimized.
