摘要： The sheet conveyance apparatus includes a controller which controls a moving unit. The moving unit moves a sheet conveyance unit for conveying a sheet toward a direction intersecting with a sheet conveyance direction. The controller performs the control such that a moving speed of a shift moving unit is reduced when a shift amount of the sheet discharged from an image forming apparatus main body is small. Therefore, generation of a noise and vibration can be suppressed to save electric power consumption. When the shift amount of the sheet is large, the moving speed of the shift moving unit can be increased to shorten an operation time necessary to the movement.

摘要： In a film deposition apparatus, a first separation gas is discharged from a separation gas supplying portion to a separation area between a first process area to which a first reaction gas is supplied and a second process area to which a second reaction gas is supplied. A heater is provided to heat the turntable by radiation heat. An outer sidewall member is provided in a bottom part of a vacuum chamber to surround the turntable in an area where the heater is provided. A space forming member is provided between the separation areas adjacent to each other in a rotating direction of the turntable and extending from the outer sidewall member to form a narrow space between the turntable. A purge gas flows from a lower side of the turntable to an area outside the turntable in a radial direction through the narrow space.
