    摘要: A substrate plating apparatus forms a plating layer on the surface of a substrate and stores the substrate until the next process in a way that the substrate is not exposed to the atmosphere. The substrate plating apparatus is not only capable of introducing semiconductor wafers continuously one by one into the plating apparatus without loading the wafers into cassettes, but is also capable of preventing particle contamination and the formation of oxidized film on the surface of the wafers, thus reducing the number of process and reducing the installation area required for the apparatus. The substrate plating apparatus includes a plating process section (20) for plating a substrate, a washing process section (10) for washing the substrate after the plating process, and a storage vessel (16) containing a storing solution in which the substrate is immersed after having been plated and washed. A substrate conveyor is provided in the substrate plating apparatus for loading substrates into the substrate plating apparatus and discharging substrates out of the substrate plating apparatus, or for performing at least one of the loading or discharging operations, such that the substrates are loaded into the substrate plating apparatus one at a time, plated in the plating process section, washed in the washing process section, and subsequently discharged one at a time from the substrate plating apparatus.

    摘要: A turbomolecular pump having a rotor provided with a plurality of rotor blades and a spacer provided with a plurality of stator blades so that gas molecules are sucked in from a suction port, compressed and discharged from an exhaust port. The pump further has a heat exchanger provided inside the suction port, the heat exchanger being connected to a refrigerator through a refrigerant pipe and a gate valve provided on the upstream side of the suction port. Gases having low molecular weights, particularly water vapor, are freeze-trapped on the heat exchanger. Thus, it is possible to efficiently exhaust gases having low molecular weights, particularly water vapor, and hence to obtain a high vacuum of good quality. In addition, it is easy to start and suspend operation of the system and possible to run it on a continuous basis.

    摘要: A magnetic film plating apparatus employs a dip method that allows relatively good escape of bubbles and does not require a wide footprint and, even when a ferromagnetic material is used for an anode, can form a magnetic film on a substrate surface while minimizing the influence of the anode on the uniformity of magnetic anisotropy in the magnetic film. The magnetic film plating apparatus includes a plating tank for holding a plating solution, an anode vertically disposed in the plating tank at a position to be immersed in the plating solution, a substrate holder for holding a substrate W and positioning the substrate W opposite the anode, and a magnetic field generator, disposed outside the plating tank, for generating a magnetic field around the substrate W held by the substrate holder and positioned opposite the anode.

    摘要: An evacuation apparatus and method using a turbomolecular pump having a rotor provided with a plurality of rotor blades and a spacer provided with a plurality of stator blades so that gas molecules are sucked in from a suction port, compressed and discharged from an exhaust port of the turbomolecular pump is disclosed. A heat exchanger is provided at the suction port side of the turbomolecular pump to freeze-trap gas molecules from being cooled by a helium refrigerator.The gate valve is disposed upstream of the heat exchanger and is provided in a suction pipe which extends between the vacuum vessel and the turbomolecular pump. In exhausting the vacuum vessel, the gate valve is opened and, in this state, the turbomolecular pump and the helium refrigerator are run. During regeneration, the gate valve is closed, the turbomolecular pump is run, and the heat exchanger is heated by means of a heater or by operation of the helium refrigator being suspended, thereby sublimating molecules freeze-trapped in the heat exchanger.
