Abstract: A CVD apparatus cleaning method that efficiently removes by-product such as SiO2 or Si3N4 adhered to and deposited on surfaces of an inner wall, an electrode, and the like in a reaction chamber at a film forming step. In the cleaning method the discharged cleaning gas amount is very small, environmental influences such as global warming can be lessened, and cost can be reduced. A CVD apparatus supplying reactive gas into a reaction chamber and forming a deposited film on a surface of a base material provided in the reaction chamber includes an exhaust gas recycling path recycling an exhaust gas reaching the reaction chamber from downstream of a pump on an exhaust path for exhausting a gas from an inner part of the reaction chamber through the pump.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a CVD apparatus that can efficiently remove a by-product such as SiO2 or Si3N4 stuck and deposited onto the surface of an internal wall, an electrode, or the like in a reaction chamber in a film forming process, and a method for cleaning a CVD apparatus. A control monitors luminous intensity data of an F radical in a reaction chamber by optical emission spectroscopy and compares the data with calibrated prestored luminous intensity data, and ends cleaning after a predetermined time passes from reaching a luminous intensity saturation point. Furthermore, concentration data of SiF4 in a gas discharged from the reaction chamber are monitored by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and compared with prestored concentration data of SiF4 to decide that the predetermined time has passed when a predetermined cleaning end point concentration is reached, thereby ending the cleaning.

Abstract: Recovery and reuse method of the specific raw materials (MEK, methanol and calcium chloride) used in the production of an MEK-modified resorcinol-formalin resin is provided. Furthermore, it is an object to stabilize quality by controlling a calcium chloride concentration in the MEK-modified resin to 100 ppm or less by partially improving the production steps. In a water solvent, resorcinol, a recovered calcium chloride aqueous solution, and a recovered MEK are added and stirred to form a two-phase system, and after adding a hydrochloric acid catalyst, formalin is added dropwise to the reaction system to allow a liquid-liquid heterogeneous reaction to proceed. It is allowed to stand to separate into two layers, and after removing an aqueous layer (0), water is added to an MEK layer (0) to sufficiently wash with water. It is allowed to stand to separate into two layers, and the aqueous layer (1) is removed.
