摘要:
An electro-optical inspection apparatus prevents adhesion of dust or particles to a sample surface, wherein a stage on which a sample is placed is disposed inside a vacuum chamber that can be evacuated, and a dust collecting electrode is disposed to surround a periphery of the sample. The dust collecting electrode is applied with a voltage having the same polarity as a voltage applied to the sample and an absolute value that is the same or larger than an absolute value of the voltage. Because dust or particles adhere to the dust collecting electrode, adhesion of the dust or particles to the sample surface can be reduced. Instead of using the dust collecting electrode, it is possible to form a recess on a wall of the vacuum chamber, or to dispose on the wall a metal plate having a mesh structure to which a predetermined voltage is applied.

A compact thin-film deposition apparatus can promote a stable growth of a high quality thin-film product of uniform quality. The apparatus comprises a vacuum-tight deposition chamber enclosing a substrate holding device for holding a substrate. An elevator device for moving the substrate holding device and a gas showering head for flowing a film forming gas towards the substrate are provided. A transport opening and an exhaust opening are provided on a wall section of the deposition chamber at a height corresponding to the transport position and the deposition position, respectively. The deposition chamber is provided with a flow guiding member, and the flow guiding member comprises a cylindrical member to surround an elevating path of the substrate holding device and a first ring member to vertically divide a chamber space at a height between the exhaust opening and the transport opening.
摘要:
A thin-film vapor deposition apparatus has a reaction chamber for holding therein a substrate in an atmosphere isolated from an ambient atmosphere. For depositing a thin film on the substrate, the temperature of an inner wall of the reaction chamber is adjusted to control the temperature of the atmosphere in the reaction chamber, and the temperature of the substrate is also adjusted independently of the temperature of the atmosphere in the reaction chamber, while the substrate is being rotated at a high speed in the reaction chamber. Reactant gases required to deposit a thin film on the substrate are ejected from a reactant gas elector head toward the substrate in the reaction chamber. Remaining and excessive gases are discharged out of the reaction chamber.

A vapor feed supply system including a vaporizer device and a method of cleaning a vapor flow region employing such a vaporizer device enables thorough cleaning of the system, without having to degrade the overall system vacuum in the process of cleaning the vaporizer device. The method includes defining a cleaning fluid passage having a predetermined withstand pressure by isolating a cleaning region of the vapor flow region, and flowing a cleaning fluid into the cleaning fluid passage under a pressure so as to enable the cleaning fluid to remain in a liquid state at a cleaning temperature of the cleaning region.

A positive displacement liquid-delivery apparatus includes a positive displacement pump 110 and a differential pressure control unit 142. The positive displacement pump 110 includes a liquid-delivery chamber 128 having a watertight housing 122 with one part formed of a flexible diaphragm 124, and a diaphragm driver 136 linked to the diaphragm 124 for deforming the same to discharge fluid from the liquid-delivery chamber 128. The differential pressure control unit 142 uniformly controls the differential pressure inside and outside the diaphragm 124 during the pumping process.
摘要:
A substrate treatment apparatus that treats a substrate under treatment has an interface section, a substrate loading/unloading section, a reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber, and an exposure treatment chamber. The interface section has a conveyance mechanism that can freely load and unload the substrate under treatment from another device into the apparatus or vice versa. The substrate under treatment can be loaded and unloaded into and from the substrate loading/unloading section in one direction by the conveyance mechanism of the interface section. The reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber is disposed adjacent to and perpendicular to the direction of the substrate loading/unloading section and has a conveyance mechanism that conveys the substrate under treatment under a reduced pressure atmosphere. The exposure treatment chamber is disposed adjacent to and in parallel with the direction of the reduced pressure atmosphere conveyance chamber and performs an exposure treatment for the substrate under treatment.
