Publication number: 20090264292Abstract: Many herbicidal compositions have been developed and practically used. However, types of weeds to be controlled are also many, and their emergence extends over a long period. Accordingly, it is desired that a herbicidal composition be developed which has a wider herbicidal spectrum and which is highly active and has a long lasting effect. As a result of a research to solve such problems, the present inventors have found it possible to obtain a highly practical herbicidal composition by a combined use of (A) 2-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoylsulfamoyl)-N,N-dimethylnicotinamide or its salt and (B) N2-tert-butyl-6-chloro-N4-ethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine or its salt, and thus have accomplished the present invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2006Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Yoshii, Ken Ohno, Ryu Yamada

Publication number: 20090120472Abstract: When a substrate is subjected to bevel cleaning processing, a first magnet plate is arranged at a lower position, and a second magnet plate is arranged at an upper position. In this case, each of chuck pins enters a closed state in a region outside the first magnet plate, while entering an opened state in a region outside the second magnet plate. That is, a holder in each of the chuck pins is maintained in contact with an outer edge of the substrate when it passes through the region outside the first magnet plate, while being spaced apart from the outer edge of the substrate when it passes through the region outside the second magnet plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2008Publication date: May 14, 2009Applicant: SOKUDO CO., LTD.Inventors: Koji Nishiyama, Hiroshi Yoshii

Publication number: 20090025155Abstract: A cleaning processing unit includes a spin chuck for horizontally holding a substrate and rotating the substrate around the vertical axis passing through the center of the substrate. A bevel cleaner is disposed outside the spin chuck. The bevel cleaner includes a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush has a shape that is symmetric about its vertical axis, and has an upper bevel cleaning surface, an end surface cleaning surface, and a lower bevel cleaning surface. The end surface cleaning surface is a cylindrical surface having its axis in the vertical direction. The upper bevel cleaning surface extends out from and is inclined upward from the upper end of the end surface cleaning surface, and the lower bevel cleaning surface extends out from and is inclined downward from the lower end of the end surface cleaning surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: SOKUDO CO., LTD.Inventors: Koji Nishiyama, Joichi Nishimura, Hiroshi Yoshii

Patent number: 5788773Abstract: A baffle is placed in a position opposed to discharge openings of a treating solution supply nozzle and between the discharge openings and the surface of a substrate. The baffle intercepts a treating solution discharged from the discharge openings, whereby the treating solution is supplied evenly to the surface of the substrate by flowing over a surface of the baffle and falling from an edge of the baffle to the substrate, instead of falling from the discharge openings directly to the substrate. No microbubbles are formed in the treating solution on the substrate, which would cause an unevenness of treatment. The discharge openings may be defined by a plurality of circular bores formed in the supply nozzle. Each circular bore may have a diameter at least equal to a spacing between an adjacent pair of circular bores.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1996Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seiichiro Okuda, Kenji Sugimoto, Hiroshi Yoshii
