  • Publication number: 20150219332
    Abstract: A heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device and a steam generator are provided. The heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device includes: a plurality of sleeves disposed in a heat exchanger tube with a predetermined gap in relation to an inner surface of the heat exchanger tube so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger tube; and a connecting member that connects the plurality of sleeves so as to be movable between a contracted position at which adjacent sleeves overlap at least partially and an extended position at which the amount of overlap of the adjacent sleeves is minimized. In this way, it is possible to suppress the vibration of the heat exchanger tube appropriately.

  • Publication number: 20140290703
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate supporting part for supporting a substrate in a horizontal state, an upper nozzle for discharging deionized water as a cleaning solution toward a center portion of an upper surface of the substrate, and a substrate rotating mechanism for rotating the substrate supporting part together with the substrate around a central axis directed in a vertical direction. In the substrate processing apparatus, the plurality of discharge ports are provided in the upper nozzle, and the flow rate of the deionized water to be supplied onto the center portion of the substrate from the upper nozzle can be ensured, with the flow rate of the deionized water from each discharge port reduced. It is thereby possible to perform appropriate cleaning of the upper surface of the substrate while suppressing electrification at the center portion of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20140227883
    Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus, an outer edge portion of a substrate in a horizontal state is supported from below by an annular substrate supporting part, and a lower surface facing part having a facing surface facing a lower surface of the substrate is provided inside the substrate supporting part. A gas ejection nozzle for ejecting heated gas toward the lower surface is provided in the lower surface facing part, and the substrate is heated by the heated gas when an upper surface of the rotating substrate is processed with a processing liquid ejected from an upper nozzle. Further, a lower nozzle is provided in the lower surface facing part, to thereby perform a processing on the lower surface with a processing liquid. Since the gas ejection nozzle protrudes from the facing surface, a flow of the processing liquid into the gas ejection nozzle can be suppressed during the processing.

  • Patent number: 7977239
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a first insulation film formed over a semiconductor substrate; and a plurality of first interconnects selectively formed in the first insulation film. A plurality of gaps are formed in part of the first insulation film located between adjacent ones of the first interconnects so that each of the gaps has a cylindrical shape extending vertically to a principal surface of the semiconductor substrate. A cap film is formed of metal or a material containing metal in upper part of each of the first interconnects.
