    摘要: A gas feeder for feeding a gas is disclosed. The gas feeder comprises a bubbler holding a source liquid and passing a carrier gas through the liquid, a first sensor provided upstream of the bubbler, sensing the volumetric flow of the carrier gas and producing a carrier gas flow signal, a second sensor provided downstream of the bubbler, sensing the volumetric flow of the mixture and producing a gas mixture flow signal, a valve provided downstream of the bubbler and controlling the volumetric flow of the mixture, and a computer. The computer computes the concentration of the source gas from the carrier gas flow signal and the gas mixture flow signal and estimates the mass flow of the source gas from a product of the computed concentration of the source gas and the volumetric flow of the carrier gas. The computer controls the valve in response to a difference from a predetermined mass flow and the estimated mass flow of the source gas to fix the mass flow of the source gas fed to a destination to the predetermined mass flow. The gas feeder accurately feedback controls an actual mass flow of the source gas to the fixed value without a substantial delay and is applicable to a chemical vapor deposition of single crystal layer.

    摘要: A wafer transfer system consisting of automatic robot claws and a susceptor having circularly bounded and round-bottomed concavities for receiving wafers, wherein the concavities of the susceptor are each provided with at least three trenches made across the circumference of each concavity and arranged equiangularly about the center of each concavity; that each trench is formed such that when a wafer is set in the concavity that portion of the edge of the wafer which is disposed in the trench defines under itself a space in communication with the rest of the space defined by the trench; and that the automatic claws each have as many nails as the number of the trenches of each concavity and are capable of opening and closing the nails which are designed to engage with the wafer in the concavity by inserting the nail tips into the respective space defined under the edge of the wafer.

    摘要: A melt-surface initial position adjusting apparatus which is suitable for use in a monocrystal growing system employing the Czochralski method to adjust the vertical position of the melt surface before the growing of a monocrystal. The apparatus can ensure a highly precise measurement of a crystal-diameter measuring device, thereby enabling a reduction in the costs of producing a monocrystal bar. Before the growing of a crystal, the vertical position (H) of the surface (16A) of a melt within a crucible is measured. The crucible is moved vertically on the basis of the measured value in such a manner as to maintain the distance (L) between the melt surface (16A) and an image sensor (28) for measuring the crystal diameter at a predetermined value.
