    摘要: A static capacitance-to-voltage converter is capable of converting a static capacitance into a voltage without suffering from a stray capacitance formed between a signal and a shielding line or a stray capacitance formed between an exposed portion of the signal line and its surroundings. The static capacitance-to-voltage converter is formed of an operational amplifier placed in an imaginary short-circuit state between an inverting input and a non-inverting input thereof; a signal line having one end connected to the inverting input and the other end capable of being connected to a static capacitance; a shielding line surrounding the signal line and connected to the non-inverting input; an alternating current signal generator for applying the non-inverting input with an alternating current signal; and zero adjusters for adjusting the output of the static capacitance-to-voltage converter to minimum when no static capacitance is connected to the signal line.

    摘要: An apparatus for detecting an impedance variable in response to a sensed physical amount of a sensor is provided which comprises an impedance-frequency conversion unit and a counter. The impedance-frequency conversion unit converts the sensor impedance to an oscillation signal a frequency of which corresponds to the sensor impedance. The impedance-frequency conversion unit comprises an impedance-voltage converter for providing a voltage corresponding to the sensor impedance, and a Wien bridge oscillator including an element an impedance of which varies in response to the voltage from the impedance-voltage converter, for generating the oscillation signal. The Wien bridge oscillator is capable of generating a square wave signal as the oscillation signal. The counter counts the number of waves (or wave number) of the oscillation signal in a predetermined time period to output a count value which can be handled as a digital signal.

    摘要: A detection circuit which is capable of outputting a voltage proportional to a static capacitance of a sensor is provided, which comprises a voltage input terminal connected to receive an input voltage and an operational amplifier. The input voltage received at the voltage input terminal is changed between two different reference voltages. An inverting input terminal of the amplifier is connected to the voltage input terminal through a resistor, and a non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier is connected to the voltage input terminal through the sensor capacitance and to one of the reference voltages through a switch. An output voltage of the amplifier is connected to the inverting input terminal through a feedback circuit including a resistor and a switch. The switches are closed and the one of the reference voltages is supplied to the input terminal during an initialization cycle. The switches are opened and the other reference voltage is supplied to the input terminal during a measurement cycle. The operational amplifier outputs an output voltage which linearly varies in response to the sensor capacitance.

    摘要: A impedance-to-voltage converter for converting an impedance of a target to a voltage is described which comprises an operational amplifier (OP), a coaxial cable consisting a signal line and shielding element(s), and an AC signal generator. A feedback impedance circuit is connected between output and inverting terminals of the OP, and whereby a non-inverting terminal and the inverting terminal are an imaginal-short condition. One end of the signal line is connected to the inverting input terminal of the OP and the other end is connected to one electrode of the target and the AC signal generator is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the OP. The shielding element comprises at least one shielding layer surrounding the signal line and is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the OP, and thus the signal line and the shielding layer are the same voltage due to the imaginal-short of the input terminals of the OP, resulting in reduction of noise on the signal line.

    摘要: Atmosphere in processing apparatus is adjusted to, for example, oxygen atmosphere, by gas supply source and the like. Interior of thermal processing apparatus is set to oxygen atmosphere and raised to predetermined temperature. A wafer boat containing wafer W having dielectric precursor layer formed is loaded into thermal processing apparatus at speed at which no defects are produced in wafer W. Thereafter, reaction tube of thermal processing apparatus has its internal temperature raised to baking temperature, to perform baking for predetermined time. The wafer W is cooled to predetermined temperature in thermal processing apparatus and then to room temperature in processing apparatus, and carried out from processing apparatus. Before dielectric precursor layer is baked, it is maintained for predetermined time at temperature higher than temperature at which solvent in dielectric precursor layer is volatilized and lower than temperature at which dielectric precursor layer starts crystallization to vaporize residual solvent.
