    摘要: Prior to plasma etching, a wafer is placed on conductive support pins which extend through an electrostatic chuck. The electrostatic chuck is disposed on a susceptor incorporating a cooling jacket. A potential for electrostatic attraction is applied to the electrostatic chuck. The support pins are lowered while they are grounded, thus placing the wafer on the electrostatic chuck. Subsequently, the support pins are retracted into the electrostatic chuck to release contact between the wafer and themselves. A heat medium gas is then supplied between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck to improve the heat transfer rate therebetween. A plasma is then generated in a process chamber, and the wafer is etched by using the plasma. Since the heat transfer rate between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck is improved before the generation of the plasma, damage to the wafer due to heat can be prevented, and the starting time required to start an etching process is shortened.

    摘要: A card processing apparatus process the card having the magnetic layer containing two types magnetic material. The one of the magnetic materials increases coercive force once receiving a magnetic field as compared to coercive force prior to application of the magnetic field and changes to a substantially irreversible state. This apparatus records first data by applying a magnetic field so as to record the data on the magnetic layer of the card at a first azimuth angle in order to change the states of the two types magnetic materials of the magnetic layer. This apparatus also records second data by applying a magnetic field so as to record the data at a second azimuth angle different from the first azimuth angle in order to change the state of the first magnetic material of the area of the card which is recorded as the first data. Further, this apparatus reads the first data recorded with the first azimuth angle and the second data recorded with the second azimuth angle, then determines that whether or not the first and second data is validly recorded on the card, and issues the card.

    摘要: A construction for mounting a pressure detector prevents the detector diaphragm from being strained by stress applied to the pressure detector as the detector is mounted in a fixture main body provided in a pipe line or the like, thereby keeping the output characteristics and temperature characteristics of the detector from greatly differing before and after the mounting. The pressure detector is constructed by combining and fastening together a diaphragm base having a diaphragm and a sensor base having a sensor element therein that is activated by displacement of the diaphragm base. The pressure detector, with a gasket placed thereunder, is disposed in a mounting hole of a fixture main body that is mounted in a pipe line. The pressure detector is air-tightly pressed and fastened by a presser member inserted from above in the mounting hole. The presser member is brought in contact with a block upper surface of the diaphragm base, and the gasket is also brought in contact with the block lower surface of the diaphragm base. A shallow groove is defined in the form of a ring on the lower surface of the block at a place inward of the portion contacting the metal gasket so that the shallow groove absorbs strain caused by the presser member.

    摘要: A wafer mount is arranged in a process chamber of the plasma etching apparatus. The rim section of a susceptor which serves as a mount body is curved at a large curvature radius. An electrostatic chuck sheet is arranged on the top of the susceptor and its rim is curved downward along the curved rim section of the susceptor, departing from the marginal portion of a semiconductor wafer mounted thereon as it comes outward. The rim of the electrostatic chuck sheet can be thus shortened in the horizontal direction and this enables a conductive film in the electrostatic chuck sheet to be made longer in the same direction. The electrostatic and thermal connection of the wafer to the electrostatic chuck sheet can be thus enhanced.
