    摘要: A vacuum evacuation device 2 of the invention comprises a vacuum pump 4,5 for exhausting a gas G2 in a process chamber 21 into which a process gas G1 is introduced and in which a process reaction is performed, to form a vacuum in said process chamber 21; and a control means 6 for performing a first control that regulates the rotational speed of said vacuum pump 4,5 such that a pressure condition in said process chamber 21 reaches a pressure condition suitable for said process reaction during said process reaction, wherein said control means 6 calculates a specified rotational speed for said vacuum pump 4,5 based on process information related to said process reaction, and performs a second control that brings said vacuum pump 4,5 to said specified rotational speed before said first control. The vacuum evacuation device 2 is capable of bringing the pressure in a process chamber 21 to the target pressure in a short period without a vacuum pump 4,5 being overloaded, regardless of the process reaction condition.

    摘要: Two rotors 18a, 18b each housing a honeycomb structure 25 carrying an absorbent is driven for rotation by a common motor 19. Partitioning members 17 define an absorbing zone S and a recovery zone U in the rotor depending on the angular positional relationship between the partitioning members 17 and the rotor corresponding thereto. In the absorbing zone S, the absorbent removes moisture and organic matters from air passing therethrough. In the recovery zone U, recovery of the absorbent deteriorated by absorbing the moisture and the organic matters is preformed by using heated dry air. Air sucked from a transfer space 10 of the processing system sequentially passes through the absorbing zones of both the rotors via a circulation passage 20, thereafter returned to the transfer space. A part of clean dry air having passed through the absorbing zones of both the rotors is supplied into an exhaust passage 21, and is heated by a heater, and passes through the recovery zones of both the rotors.

    摘要: Substrates having surfaces in a highly clean condition are subjected to a thermal process in a heating furnace. In a thermal processing apparatus for processing substrates by a predetermined thermal process that heats the substrates by a heating means, the substrates are held in a vertical position at horizontal intervals in a reaction vessel. Cleaning liquids are supplied into the reaction vessel to clean the substrates, and then the cleaning liquids are drained away through a drain port, and then a process gas is supplied into the reaction vessel to process the substrates by a thermal process. The substrates having the cleaned clean surfaces are subjected to the thermal process without being exposed to the ambient atmosphere and can be satisfactorily processed by the thermal process.

    摘要: A treatment apparatus comprises a treatment chamber for performing a treatment for a workpiece W, a loading chamber connected to the treatment chamber, for loading and unloading a holding member which contains the workpiece into and from the treatment chamber, and an input/output chamber for inputting and outputting the workpiece to and from the loading chamber. The input/output chamber includes a cassette accommodating vessel port which holds a cassette accommodating vessel. The vessel is filled with clean air or an inert gas, and is airtightly closed. A cassette receiving mechanism is disposed below the port and lowers only the cassette of the vessel so as to receive the cassette. Thus, when the cassette is input and output to and from the outside of the treatment apparatus, the workpiece contained within the cassette is not exposed to the atmosphere in a working region. Consequently, it is not necessary to improve the cleanliness level of the atmosphere in the working region. As a result, the construction cost of the clean room and the operation cost thereof can be reduced. A clean air blowing device is disposed below the port. The clean air blowing device blows a side flow of clean air. Thus, the atmosphere at a position below the port where air tends to stay is circulated. Thus, since the surface of the workpiece loaded in the treatment chamber is exposed to the side flow, particles and the like that adhere thereto are purged.
