The electrostatic chuck includes a first electrode and a second electrode. In an execution period of a first plasma processing on a substrate, first potentials which are ones out of potentials same as each other and potentials different from each other are set to the first and second electrodes, respectively. In an execution period of a second plasma processing on the substrate, second potentials which are others out of the potentials same as each other and the potentials different from each other are set to the first and second electrodes, respectively. The respective potentials of the first electrode and the second electrode are switched from the first potentials to the second potentials.

  • Publication number: 20120062354
    Abstract: Disclosed is a temperature-sensitive actuator which is configured in such a manner that heat from a PTC heater for the temperature-sensitive part of a thermoelement can be received appropriately and reliably in a required state. Specifically disclosed is a temperature-sensitive actuator (10) which is configured to sense the temperature although a piston (14) is operated forcibly by generating heat from a PTC heater (20) and warming the temperature-sensitive part (13) of a wax thermoelement, wherein a contact member (40) is interposed between the temperature-sensitive part of a thermoelement and the PTC heater. Consequently, variation in the amount of heat which is received at the temperature-sensitive part of a thermoelement from the PTC heater is limited, and the stabilized output (lift) of the thermoelement can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 6637111
    Abstract: A boom body comprises a boom front member, a boom intermediate member and a boom rear member. An arm-connection bracket is jointed to the boom front member and a vehicle body-mounting bracket is jointed to the boom rear member, thereby forming a boom. With this structure, a cross section of the boom body is less prone to be deformed and therefore, the plate thickness can be reduced, the rigidity of the boom body can be increased without mounting a cross section restraint material and the cross section of the boom is not deformed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the boom in weight.

  • Patent number: 6536652
    Abstract: An arm body of a working machine has a hollow and triangular cross-section. A bucket-connection bracket is jointed to one longitudinal end of an arm body, and an arm cylinder bracket is jointed to another longitudinal end of the arm body, thereby forming an arm. With the triangular cross-sectional structure, the arm body is less prone to deformation under the stress of a load. The improved triangular cross-sectional structure permits the plate thickness of the arm body to be reduced, and the rigidity of the arm body to be increased without mounting a cross-section restraint material in the arm body. The cross-section of the boom will not deform even though the plate thickness is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the weight of the boom and still prevent deformation of the boom under heavy load.
