摘要:
In a flash apparatus capable of making high-speed repeating light emission, a self-maintaining switch element provided for various purposes is prevented from erroneously operating due to the high-speed repeating light emission, by providing a circuit element which reverse-biases a control electrode of the self-maintaining switch element.

A vacuum processing apparatus which includes an atmospheric transfer chamber having a plurality of cassette stands for transferring a wafer, a lock chamber for storing the wafer, a first vacuum transfer chamber to which the wafer from the lock chamber is transferred, a transfer intermediate chamber connected to the first vacuum transfer chamber, and a second vacuum transfer chamber connected to the transfer intermediate chamber. At least one vacuum processing chamber is connected to the first vacuum transfer chamber, and two or more vacuum processing chambers are connected to a rear side of the second vacuum transfer chamber. A plurality of gate valves are disposed between the first vacuum transfer chamber and each of the lock chamber, the transfer intermediate chamber, and the vacuum processing chamber coupled to the first vacuum transfer chamber. A control unit is also provided for controlling operation of the gate valves.
摘要:
The vacuum processing apparatus is comprised of two vacuum transfer vessels in which a wafer is transferred through; two vacuum process vessels connected to these vacuum transfer vessels respectively; an intermediate chamber vessel capable of storing thereinto the wafer connected between the vacuum transfer vessels; a lock chamber connected to one of the vacuum transfer vessels; and a plurality of valves disposed among the vacuum transfer vessels, the vacuum process vessels, the intermediate chamber vessel, and the lock chamber respectively, for airtightly opening/closing communications among these vessels and the chamber; in which any one of the valves disposed on both sides of the intermediate chamber vessel is closed before the valves disposed between processing chambers of the vacuum process vessels and vacuum transfer chambers of the vacuum transfer vessels is opened.

摘要:
Provided is a method for controlling efficient transferring operations in a vacuum processing apparatus with a linear tool. In the apparatus, plural transferring robots are arranged in transferring mechanism units in which plural process chambers are connected with each other, and to-be-processed wafers are received and passed between plural transferring robots. As the transferring robots is far from the load lock, the number of transferring operations to the process chambers is set larger, the number of times of continuous transferring operations to the process chambers is set as small as possible, and an odd number of times of continuous transferring operations to buffer rooms is set, by a destination determination unit and operation control rules. Further, transferring operations are performed based on the destination determination unit and the operation control rules.
摘要:
A remote diagnostic system and method for facilities which carry out a diagnosis on a facilities placed under management of a first company using the diagnostic system of a second company, which is connected to the facilities through a communications network and which is not placed under management of the first company. The facilities include, a storage unit which stores information classified into multiple security levels having different access rights in order to determine the scope of reply in response to an inquiry regarding information on diagnosis of the facilities, and a security level evaluation control unit to assign a new access right in response to the inquiry devoid of access right regarding the diagnosis from the second company in conformance to the degree of the event related to the inquiry.
摘要:
In a processing system of a linear tool in which plural carrying robots are arranged in carrying mechanical units to which processing modules are coupled and a processing target is delivered and received between the plural carrying robots, in the case where there are plural carrying routes on which the processing target is carried, the present invention provides a technique for determining the carrying route on which the highest throughput can be obtained.In the processing system of a linear tool, in the case where there are plural carrying routes on which the processing target is carried, the throughputs of the respective carrying routes are compared to each other, and the carrying route is determined by a unit for selecting the carrying route with the highest throughput.
摘要:
The present invention provides an efficient transferring control method in a vacuum processing apparatus of a linear tool in which plural vacuum robots are arranged in transferring mechanical units to which process chambers are connected and processing-target members are passed and received among the plural vacuum robots. In addition, the present invention provides a vacuum processing apparatus in which there are provided plural controlling methods, and a unit which determines whether rates of the transferring robots are to be controlled or rates of the process chambers are to be controlled on the basis of processing time of each processing-target member and switches the controlling method in accordance with a site whose rate is controlled.
