An image forming apparatus is disclosed, in which silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials are used. The apparatus has a scanning exposure system and a processing system for the photographic materials. Two types of photographic materials, reflective type and transparent type, can be used interchangeably. Conditions of the exposure and the processing are automatically changed according to the types of the photographic materials.

After a polysilicon film is formed on a wafer, a cleaning gas containing ClF.sub.3 at 10 to 50 vol % is supplied into a reaction tube and an exhaust pipe system at a flow rate of 3000 to 3500 SCCM, so as to remove a polysilicon-based film deposited on an inner wall surface of the reaction tube, the surface of a member incorporated in the reaction tube, and an inner wall surface of the exhaust pipe system while the film forming process, by etching using ClF.sub.3. The cleaning gas is supplied while the temperature in the reaction tube is maintained at 450.degree. C. or higher, and in a pressure condition set at the maintained temperature such that an etching rate of the polysilicon-based film by the cleaning gas is higher than an etching rate of silicon which is the material of the reaction tube or the member incorporated in the reaction tube.

An image processing apparatus for processing an image signal, comprising a clock for generating a periodical clock signal, a pattern signal generator for generating 2N (where N is a positive integer) pattern signals, each of the pattern signals having a constant wave-form, a wave length of 2N times longer than that of the periodical clock signal and a phase difference 360/2N relative to another one of the pattern signals, a comparator for comparing the pattern signals with the image signal and for generating 2N of comparison signals, and a composition generator for combining said 2N comparison signals and for generating a pulse-duration modulated signal from the combined 2N comparison signals.
摘要:
Present invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of forming an image on various kinds of photosensitive material by subjecting the photosensitive material to an image forming process having at least imagewise exposing, developing, and fixing process on a process condition determined in accordance with a kind of the photosensitive material. While processing certain kind of photosensitive material, a kind discriminator detects a new kind of photosensitive material being subjected a current image forming process, CPU inhibits a new image forming process until judging a predetermined process of the current image forming process as being completed from a signal of a process monitor.
摘要:
A film-forming apparatus for forming an impurity-doped film on an object such as a semiconductor wafer has an elongated reaction tube located such that its longitudinal direction is identical to the vertical direction, and having an object arrangement region in which a plurality of objects or semiconductor wafers to be processed can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. A film-forming gas is introduced into the reaction tube through a film-forming gas introduction pipe. This apparatus also has a main dopant gas introduction pipe, having a gas outlet located below the object arrangement region in the reaction tube, for introducing a dopant gas into the reaction tube and guiding the same upward, at least one sub dopant gas introduction pipe, having a gas outlet located above the object arrangement region in the reaction tube, for introducing the same dopant gas as the first-mentioned one into the reaction tube so as to compensate for insufficient supply of the dopant gas through the main dopant gas introduction pipe, an exhaustion system for exhausting the gases in the reaction tube, and a heating unit for heating the interior of the reaction tube.
摘要:
A film is formed on a substrate by supplying a plurality of processing gases into a processing container and forming the film on the substrate from the processing gases while exhausting a portion of the gases out of the processing container. Before a partial pressure of a byproduct in the processing container produced through chemical reaction of the processing gases reaches an equilibrium state, the partial pressure of the byproduct in the processing container is temporarily reduced by temporarily suppressing or stopping the supply of at least one of the processing gases into the processing container and exhausting gas from the processing container.

A vertical processing unit 10 for semiconductor wafers has; a cylindrical processing chamber 2 having an opening 18 in an inside of an annular bottom surface, and a disk-shaped cap 6 having an annular abutting-surface 32 abutting on the annular bottom surface of the chamber. A mounting-surface 6p formed on the inside of the annular abutting-surface 32. A wafer-boat 8 for holding a wafer W to be processed is mounted on the mounting-surface 6p of the cap 6. The abutting-surface 32 has an annular groove 34A formed therein. An inert gas supply passgeway 38 is provided in communication with the annular groove 34A for supplying an inert gas into the annular groove 34A through a header 16. An ejection opening 36 for ejecting an inert gas is provided on the inner side of the annular groove 34A for communicating the annular groove 34A and the interior of the processing chamber 2. Owing to the active leaking of the nitrogen (N.sub.2) gas into the interior of the processing chamber 2 through the ejection opening 36, the corrosive gas as a processing gas in the processing chamber 2 does not leak out, so that corrosion or rusting of the equipment around the processing chamber 2 is prevented.
