    Abstract: A hydrodynamic bearing device has favorable bearing performance and long endurance life. A thrust bearing part of the hydrodynamic bearing device has a second thrust surface. In the second thrust surface, a dynamic pressure generating groove area having a plurality of dynamic pressure generating grooves is formed in at least a part thereof in a radial direction. The action of dynamic pressure of lubricating oil increases the pressure in a thrust bearing clearance between an end of a flange part of an axial member and the second thrust surface, to support the axial member in an axial direction in a non-contact manner. The dynamic pressure generating groove area of the second thrust surface is formed by press working. The difference in height between the inner and outer peripheral edges of the surface of the dynamic pressure generating groove area regulated between or equal to 0 and 2 μm.

    Abstract: In a system for controlling a semiconductor device manufacturing process, a recipe indicating a control condition for controlling processing in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus is calculated by a computation performed using manufacturing data obtained in the semiconductor device manufacturing process and a predetermined algorithm, and when the recipe cannot be derived, an alternative recipe prepared beforehand is transmitted to a manufacturing management system for managing the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus. The alternative recipe may be derived using the predetermined algorithm by a recomputation in which input conditions are changed. When a recipe cannot be derived by the recomputation, a planned recipe with which semiconductor devices processed by the manufacturing process fall within specification values may be used as the alternative recipe.
