    摘要: A radio-frequency (RF) power supply apparatus includes a first power supply, a second power supply, and a matching device connected to the first/second power supplies. The first power supply supplies first RF power to a load by outputting first RF voltage with a first fundamental frequency. The second power supply supplies second RF power to the load by outputting second RF voltage with a second fundamental frequency lower than the first fundamental frequency. The matching device generates a clock signal with a frequency higher than the first fundamental frequency and provides the clock signal to the first power supply. The first power supply generates, by using the clock signal, a waveform signal with the same cycle as the second RF voltage. The first power supply performs, by using the clock signal, frequency modulation control on the first RF voltage to be output from the first power supply.

    摘要: A transport apparatus that can position a transport target object, with a simple configuration. A transport apparatus includes first and second hand portions that simultaneously hold the transport target object; a moving portion moving the first and second hand portions in three axial directions; and a control for the moving portion. The first and second hand portions respectively include first and second holding portions that hold the transport target object, and first and second force sensors that respectively detect external forces applied to the first and second holding portions. The control portion controls the moving portion to move, toward a positioning point, the transport target object to which an upward force is applied within a range where the object does not float above a placement face, using the external forces detected by the first and second force sensors.

    摘要: A transport apparatus that can transport heavy transport target objects that are difficult for humans to transport. A transport apparatus includes first and second hand portions that are arranged at a distance from each other in a first direction in a horizontal plane and configured to simultaneously hold a transport target object; a first moving portion that moves each of the first and second hand portions in the first direction; a second moving portion that moves the first moving portion in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction in the horizontal plane; a third moving portion that moves the second moving portion in a vertical direction; and a wheeled platform to which the third moving portion is fixed. By utilizing this configuration, it is possible to move the first and second hand portions holding the transport target object, with a simple configuration, and increase the weight capacity.

    摘要: An impedance adjustment device includes a variable capacitor unit. A microcomputer changes the capacitance value of the variable capacitor unit by switching on or off PIN diodes included in n capacitor circuits separately. Thus, the impedance on the plasma generator side when viewed from a high frequency power supply is adjusted. When changing the capacitance value of the variable capacitor unit to a target capacitance value, the microcomputer changes the capacitance value to a relay capacitance value different from the target capacitance value. The microcomputer changes the capacitance value to the target capacitance value after the capacitance value is changed to the relay capacitance value.

    摘要: A transfer robot includes a movable mechanism, a support base moved by the movable mechanism, a horizontal arm pivotable relative to the support base around a first vertical axis, a motor in the horizontal arm to pivot the arm, and a hand disposed above the arm and rotatable relative to the arm around a second axis parallel to the first axis. The hand holds a planar workpiece placed thereon. The arm includes a rotation stage for holding the planar workpiece placed thereon. The rotation stage is rotatable around a third axis parallel to the first axis and movable vertically along the third axis. The hand has a holding center corresponding to the center of the planar workpiece, where the holding center is moved along a rotational trajectory extending across the third axis in plan view. The rotation stage is rotated by the motor provided in the horizontal arm.

    摘要: To simplify a process of suppressing an increase in a reflected wave power caused by IMD, provided is a high-frequency power supply system for providing a high-frequency power to a load, including: a first power supply for supplying a first high-frequency power to the load; a second power supply for supplying a second high-frequency power to the load; and a matching device. The matching device provides a system clock to each of the first power supply and the second power supply. The second power supply outputs a second high-frequency voltage at a control period determined based on the system clock provided from the matching device. The first power supply outputs a first high-frequency voltage obtained by frequency modulation of a fundamental wave signal having a first fundamental frequency and through amplification, in each control period determined based on the system clock provided from the matching device.

    摘要: The present disclosure, calculating an impedance change considering a reflected wave due to IMD, provides an impedance matching device for performing impedance matching between a source power supply side and a load side, including: a detector that detects a forward wave power supplied from the source power supply and a reflected wave power from the load and outputs a forward wave voltage as a component of the forward wave power and a reflected wave voltage as a component of the reflected wave power, an impedance information output part that calculates impedance from the forward wave voltage and the reflected wave voltage, and a matching part that performs matching operation based on an impedance value supplied from the impedance information output part. The impedance information output part complexifies each of the forward wave voltage and the reflected wave voltage to calculate an impedance value to generate an impedance locus.
