  • Patent number: 11777428
    Abstract: A higher control unit 1 generates a command current i* based on a command value. A model predictive control unit 2 sets a plurality of assumed voltage vectors for each switching cycle of an output voltage, divides the switching cycle of the output voltage into two periods according to a ratio between a dead time and the switching cycle of the output voltage, calculates a predicted current of the assumed voltage vector for each of the two periods obtained by the two-dividing, determines an evaluation function between the assumed voltage vector and the predicted current, sets the assumed voltage vector which has highest evaluation function result, as a command voltage vector. A gate signal g for outputting a voltage expressed by the command voltage vector from the power converter is output. The power converter is driven and controlled based on the gate signal.

  • Patent number: 11680319
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ALD device in which a shower head is disposed at a position opposed to a film formation surface of a target workpiece in a chamber and has raw material gas ejection ports and OH* forming gas ejection ports alternately arranged at predetermined intervals in two film-formation-surface directions so as to face the film formation surface. The OH* forming gas ejection ports respectively include first ejection ports for ozone gas ejection and second ejection ports for unsaturated hydrocarbon gas ejection. An oxide film is formed on the film formation surface by ejecting a raw material gas from the raw material gas ejection ports and ejecting an ozone gas and an unsaturated hydrocarbon gas from the first and second ejection ports of the OH* forming gas ejection ports, respectively, while moving the target workpiece along the two film-formation-surface directions.
