  • Publication number: 20240120867
    Abstract: A motor control method for transferring an object to be transferred by a moving object that moves by driving of a motor in a substrate processing apparatus, includes: a data acquisition process of acquiring, at different times, pieces of drive data which relate to the driving of the motor and vary with heat generation of the motor; and a transfer process of transferring the object to be transferred by controlling current to be supplied to the motor, based on each of the pieces of drive data, to compensate for displacement of the object to be transferred from a target transfer position due to the heat generation of the motor.

  • Patent number: 10590598
    Abstract: A heat-insulating protective member for skid posts contains a needled blanket of inorganic fibers. At least some of the needled blanket has, disposed therein, an impregnation part where an oxide-precursor-containing liquid is adherent in an undried state. The impregnation part has a water content of 50-400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic fibers of the impregnation part. The water content of the heat-insulating protective member is 50-400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic fibers of the heat-insulating protective member. The oxide-precursor-containing liquid contains ingredients that, upon burning, yield a composition containing Al2O3 and CaO. The oxide-precursor-containing liquid is adherent in an amount of 2-50 parts by mass in terms of oxide amount per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic fibers of the impregnation part. A molar ratio of Al/Ca, in the whole impregnation part is 10-330.
