  • Patent number: 11935762
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: a first processing module including a first process container in which at least one substrate is processed, a first utility system including a first supply system which supplies a first processing gas into the first process container and a surface of the first utility system is connected or arranged close to the first processing module; and a first vacuum pump arranged at the same level as a first exhaust port of the first process container. The first vacuum pump exhausts an inside of the first process container and includes a first intake port formed laterally at a position substantially facing the first exhaust port of the first process container. A first exhaust pipe configured to substantially linearly bring the first exhaust port into fluid communication with the first intake port and including a first valve installed in a flow path.

  • Patent number: 8368475
    Abstract: A first capacitor is arranged such that the electric potential at a first terminal is fixed. A first discharging circuit discharges the first capacitor at a timing that corresponds to a cyclic synchronization signal received from an external circuit. A first comparator compares the voltage at a second terminal of the first capacitor with a predetermined threshold voltage, and generate a judgment signal that corresponds to the comparison result. A charging circuit generates a charging current the current value of which is adjusted according to the level of the judgment signal at a timing that corresponds to the synchronization signal, and supplies the charging current thus generated to the first capacitor.
