摘要:
The present invention provides a wafer heating device which can improve uniformity of a temperature distribution within a surface area of a wafer, with a relatively simple structure. A wafer is supported on a susceptor of annular shape. A first heater of disc shape is disposed below the wafer, and a second heater of annular shape is disposed to surround the first heater. Radiation thermometers are arranged at a ceiling portion of a reaction chamber. The first radiation thermometer measures a temperature of a central area of the wafer, the second radiation thermometer measures a temperature of a peripheral area of the wafer, and the third radiation thermometer measures a temperature of the susceptor. The first heater and the second heater are controlled by independent closed loops. When a wafer is set on the susceptor, a power of the second heater is controlled by using a value measured by the second radiation thermometer as a feedback signal. When no wafer is set on the susceptor, the power of the second heater is controlled by using a value measured by the third radiation thermometer as a feedback signal.

A vapor deposition apparatus for supplying raw-material gas into a reactor to form a thin film on a wafer substrate disposed in the reactor by vapor deposition, including at least a rotator for mounting the wafer substrate thereon, a treatment gas introducing port, a straightening vane having plural holes, and a wafer substrate feed-in/out port, wherein the lowermost portion of the wafer feed-in/out port is located at a predetermined height from the upper surface of the rotator, and the difference in height between the lowermost portion of the wafer feed-in/out port and the upper surface of the rotator is set to be larger than the thickness of a transition layer of the upper portion of the rotator. In a vapor deposition method, a wafer substrate is mounted on the rotator to form a thin film having little defect and uniform film thickness on the wafer substrate by using the vapor deposition apparatus.

Noise data from a noise source is provided for a neural network. An output signal from the neural network is provided for a node of a hidden layer H of the neural network. The weight of the neural network is updated by an update unit according to an error signal e.sub.j0 detected by a microphone, thereby outputting a deadening sound from a speaker.
摘要:
A name obtaining unit obtains name information. An ontology generating unit sets a specific element from an installation space where each element to be given a name is hierarchically expressed, generates an ontology as a group of name candidates with the set element as a top level based on the name information, and links each name constituting the ontology with multimedia information. The ontology generating unit registers the linked multimedia information at a multimedia information database.

摘要:
This invention provides an epitaxial growth method capable of decreasing variations of the resistance of an epitaxial layer resulting from an in-plane temperature distribution of a silicon wafer and also capable of reducing particles and haze. This epitaxial growth method is an epitaxial growth method of growing a boron- or phosphorus-doped silicon epitaxial layer on the surface of a silicon wafer with an in-plane temperature distribution of 2 to 50.degree. C., and includes the steps of arranging the silicon wafer in a reaction vessel, supplying into the reaction vessel a source gas containing (a) silane, (b) 5 to 600 vol % of hydrogen chloride added to the silane, and (c) a dopant consisting of a boron compound or a phosphorus compound, and growing a boron- or phosphorus-doped silicon epitaxial layer on the surface of the wafer by setting a vacuum degree of 10 to 200 torr in the reaction vessel and heating the wafer to 900 to 1100.degree.
