摘要:
A sensor and a control circuit are provided externally of a gear cover. This enhances reliability of a shift controller operated by an electric actuator and a motor driven control module similar thereto, and constitute them compact. Further, this provides a rotating position detection sensor suitably used for a switching device as described. A circuit and a sensor are not contaminated with oil or metal powder of a gear mechanism portion.

The invention is a method for positioning a conveying mechanism having a holding portion for semiconductor wafers. Respective provisional position coordinates of an orienting teaching standard position and a container teaching standard positions are inputted into a controlling unit in advance. A wafer to be conveyed precisely positioned with respect to and held by the holding portion is conveyed and placed on the rotating orienting device according a control based on the provisional coordinates of the orienting teaching standard position. A posture detector then detects the eccentric volume and eccentric direction of the wafer. Appropriate position coordinates are made by amending the provisional coordinates. Then, a wafer to be conveyed precisely positioned with respect to the container teaching standard position is conveyed and placed on the rotating orienting device according a control based on the provisional coordinates of the orienting teaching standard position. A posture detector then detects the eccentric volume and eccentric direction of the wafer. Appropriate position coordinates are made by amending the provisional coordinates.

In most cases, a hot, corrosive atmosphere is created in, for example, a semiconductor wafer processing chamber. When an arm including belts, such as steel belts, is moved into such a semiconductor wafer processing chamber, the belts are exposed to the hot, corrosive atmosphere. Belts, such as steel belts, have limited heat resistance and corrosion resistance and the hot, corrosive atmosphere in the processing chamber shortens the life of the belts. A carrying device of the present invention has a frog leg type arm (3) and a wafer holder (4) connected to the frog leg type arm (3). The wafer holder (4) is pivotally connected to front end parts of a first front arm (8A) and a second front arm (8B) by coaxial joints (10). The wafer holder (4) is linked to the first front arm (8A) and the second front arm (8B) by a posture maintaining linkage (5) including two antiparallel linkages capable of controlling the turning of the wafer holder (4) relative to the first and the second front arms (8A, 8B).

A load-lock mechanism according to the invention comprises a vacuum chamber 31 arranged between a vacuum first transferring chamber 20 and atmospheric second transferring chambers 40. The vacuum chamber 31 has a first opening 31A facing the first transferring chamber 20, a vertical pair of second openings 31B facing the second transferring chambers 40 and open-close mechanisms 34A, 34B to open and close each of the second opening 31B. One vertical pair of load-lock chambers 32, 33 are movably housed in the vacuum chamber 31. The supply-discharge passageways 31G, 31H are provided in the vacuum chamber 31 to supply and discharge air into and out of each of the load-lock chambers 32, 33. Each of the load-lock chamber 32, 33 has a first port 32A, 33A which can communicate with the first opening 31A, a second port 32B, 33B which can communicate with the corresponding second opening 31B. The inside of each of the load-lock chambers 32, 33 are shut off from the inside of the vacuum chamber 31 when the second port 32B, 33B communicates with the second opening 31B.

A heat sink fan has a fan motor provided with blades, a rectangular upper casing for holding the fan motor, and a rectangular lower casing fixed to the upper casing. The lower casing has a bottom portion and fin dissipating fins erected perpendicularly from the four side edges of the bottom portion. The upper and lower casings are fixed together by a mechanically interlocking mechanism consisting of a combination of pawls and pawl receiving portions, a combination of projections each having an inflated portion and cavities or a combination of hooks and engaging grooves formed or in the upper or lower casing. Fin portions are formed on the whole area or the area except for the fan motor and the blades to increase a heat dissipating efficiency.

A fuel injector assembly for use with an engine block of a direct injection engine. The fuel injector assembly includes an elongated tubular fuel rail which is fluidly connected to a high pressure fuel source. At least two fuel cups are attached to and extend downwardly from the fuel rail and each fuel cup is adapted to receive one fuel injector. First fasteners attach a bracket to the engine block while second fasteners attach the bracket to the fuel rail. These second fasteners, furthermore, are positioned so that the second fasteners are coplanar with a plane extending through a longitudinal axis of each fuel injector.

In a port structure 16A in a semiconductor processing system 2, a door 20A is disposed in a port 12A defined by upright wall 52 and 54. A table 48 opposed to the port is disposed outside the system. Defined on the table is a mount region 76 for mounting an open type cassette 18A for a process subject substrate W. A hood 50 is disposed rotatable relative to the table. The hood defines in its closed position a closed space surrounding the mount region and port, the space having a size to receive the cassette. First ventholes 58 are formed in the upright walls and/or the door so as to introduce gas from within the system into the closed space in the hood. Second ventholes 72 are formed in the table so as to discharge the gas can be discharged out of the closed space.

A semiconductor processing system includes an intermediate structure disposed between an atmospheric pressure entrance transfer chamber and a vacuum common transfer chamber. The intermediate structure includes a transfer passage for a target substrate to pass therein. The transfer passage includes a first buffer chamber a middle transfer chamber and a second buffer chamber detachably connected. An additional processing apparatus is detachably connected to the middle transfer chamber. The intermediate structure is selectively arranged in first or second state. In the first state, the additional processing apparatus performs a vacuum process, while the first buffer chamber is a load-lock chamber. In the second state, the additional processing apparatus performs an atmospheric pressure process, while the second buffer chamber is a load-lock chamber.

To improve startability and reduce the amount of HC emission at start-up with the aid of a construction where vaporized fuel is supplied to the bypass passage that bypasses the main passage.The main air control valve 16 is installed near the intake port 10 of the main air passage 3, and the main air control valve is closed or throttled at the time of start-up or additional injection from the port injection valve 5 is given in the beginning of start-up cranking. With a apparatus equipped with the main air control valve, vaporization of the fuel injected from the auxiliary injection valve 6 is facilitated in the beginning of cranking and also intake delay of the vaporized fuel is reduced, and hence startability can improve and the amount of HC emission at the time of start-up can decrease. With a apparatus where additional injection is given from the port injection valve 5 in the beginning of cranking, fuel supply into the cylinder is achieved quickly, and hence startability can improve and the amount of HC emission at the time of start-up can decrease.
