  • Patent number: 11355319
    Abstract: The present invention is a plasma processing apparatus that includes a processing chamber where plasma processing is performed on a sample, a radio frequency power supply that supplies radio frequency power to generate plasma, a sample stage on which the sample is placed, and a gas supply unit that supplies a gas to the processing chamber. The gas supply unit includes a first pipe that supplies a first gas as a gas for etching process to the processing chamber, a second pipe that supplies a second gas as a gas for etching process to the processing chamber, and a third pipe through which a third gas as a gas for deposition process flows. The third pipe is coupled to the second pipe. A fourth valve is arranged on the second pipe. The fourth valve prevents the third gas from flowing in a direction toward a supply source of the second gas.

  • Patent number: 10994903
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plastic cap useful for steadfastly maintaining a sealed state created in a container having a mouth with an opening by sealing the opening with a sealing member. The cap has a cap main body and a cover portion integrated with the main body via at least one bridge portion. The main body has a base portion and a top wall. The bridge portion is formed of a synthetic plastic filled in at least one fusion-bonding hole having a diameter of from 0.3 to 3 mm and arranged extending through at least one, preferably one of the main body or cover portion such that the main body and cover portion are integrally fusion-bonded by the bridge portion and the cover portion can be separated from the main body by breaking the bridge portion with hands. A production method of the plastic cap is also disclosed.
