  • Publication number: 20080067146
    Abstract: The plasma processing apparatus relating to the present invention is provided with a process chamber, a pressure measuring unit for measuring the pressure inside of the process chamber and a pump for exhausting a gas in the process chamber. A pressure control valve for maintaining the pressure inside of the process chamber to a predetermined pressure by regulating an opening based on a measured value of the pressure measuring unit is provided between the pump and the process chamber. An exhaust capacity controller sets up the exhaust capacity in a state that the variation of the opening of the pressure control valve in response to the pressure fluctuation inside of the process chamber is large. A computing unit detects very small pressure fluctuation based on the variation of the opening of the pressure control valve. In results, enabling reliable detection of a very small gas flow fluctuation and pressure fluctuation by a less expensive method independent of process conditions.

  • Publication number: 20050178328
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is provide a film forming method and a film forming apparatus for suppressing mixing of an organic type foreign material into a film forming chamber when forming a film, thereby reducing a defect density after a film formation. In order to achieve the object, the film forming apparatus comprises a load lock for placing a cassette for holding a wafer, a film forming chamber for forming a thin film on the wafer, and an arm for conveying the wafer from the load lock to the film forming chamber, wherein a mass spectrograph for measuring a partial pressure of an organic substance under an atmosphere in the load lock is placed in the load lock. In the film forming method, an atmosphere in the load lock in which a cassette holding the wafer is placed is firstly exhausted. In this exhaust, the exhaust is performed until a partial pressure of the organic substance under the atmosphere in the load lock reaches 7.5×10?5 mTorr or less.

  • Publication number: 20030174279
    Abstract: When a photographing switch (55) is operated, a mirror (26) is moved out of the optical path, a strobe (14) is made to emit a flash of light, and the eye to be examined is photographed by a photographing unit (33). The image of the eye is recorded in image primary recording means (52). In such an arrangement, the image of an eye to be examined can be recorded in image primary recording means provided in the unit of the photographing device. Therefore, the image can be taken independently of the recording preparation state of an external recording device, the timing of flash of the strobe can be set not through an external recording device, and the image of an eye can be reliably and smoothly recorded. Further, since the image recorded in image primary recording means can be recorded in image secondary recording means (60), the same effect of recording the image in an external recording device can be produced if the image secondary recording means is provided to an external recording device.
