摘要:
It is an object to provide a cleaning method in a CVD apparatus capable of efficiently removing a by-product such as SiO2 or Si3N4 which is adhered to and deposited on the surfaces of an inner wall, an electrode and the like in a reaction chamber at a film forming step. Furthermore, it is an object to provide a cleaning method in which the amount of a cleaning gas to be discharged is very small, an influence on an environment such as global warming is also lessened and a cost can also be reduced. An energy is applied to a fluorine compound to react the fluorine compound, thereby generating a fluorine gas component and a component other than the fluorine gas component. Furthermore, the fluorine gas component and the component other than the fluorine gas component which are generated are separated from each other so that the fluorine gas component is separated and refined. After a film forming process for a base material is carried out by a CVD apparatus, a separated and refined fluorine gas is then converted to a plasma to remove a by-product adhered into the reaction chamber.

摘要:
In a duplex image transferring device of the present invention, a first bicolor toner image formed by a developing liquid is transferred to one side of a sheet. This toner image on the sheet includes a carrier liquid layer containing a liquid carrier of an amount not great enough to serve as an electrophoresis medium for a toner layer deposited on the sheet, but sufficient to serve as a parting agent for the toner layer and an intermediate image transfer belt contacting the toner image. Subsequently, a bicolor toner image of the same polarity as the toner layer is transferred to the other side of the sheet. It is possible to transfer the toner images to both sides of the sheet without switching back the one-sided sheet, without using two kinds of toner each being chargeable to particular polarity or without charging one toner image to the opposite polarity with a corona charger.
